Theme song for today: "Here Comes the Rain, Again"

Was woken up, this morning, by the artillery-esque sound of thunder. Lots of it. Sounds of rain, too.

Didn't go into the office till nearly lunch, so things had dried out.

Came out to my car, to go home, and found it wet with rains that had just passed through. I495 towards Alexandria was slow and the pavement was damp, but it was an fairly uneventful trip home.

Got home and was thinking of going for a walk - gotta work on getting this gut back under control. However the skies were looking threatening. Oddly, they looked threatening from a direction rain normally doesn't come from. But, in watching the news, it confirmed that, yes, rain's coming from the wrong direction and it's coming hard.

And thus, as I type, I hear the rain pouring down, outside.
