Home Sweet Home



Thought you'd like to see where I am living this summer. This is my place, and my neighbor, Horace, he keeps watch over my tent and stuff. Horace is pretty quiet most of the time but it's comforting having him there.

So a couple nights ago we had TWO crazy thunderstorms! One started while I was at work, around ten pm, the second one came along about 3 am, (I mean really Mother Nature, how rude!) Apparently it's pretty rare to have lightning on the island, and it was right on top of us! Several times I couldn't count the time between the flash and the boom, like it was right there!! I'm in a tent, in the middle of the woods, flash after fflash after flash! It was exciting and more than a little scary, I mean, how much protection does a tent offer? I tried to comfort myself with the knowledge that even though my tent poles are metal, they are outside the tent and I am on a raised wooden platform, not a good conductor.

It didn't help.

Interesting blog Lance! Hope you take it all in, you'll be back before you know it! I just rode by the old yoga place and thought about you, wondering about how you're doing and I came home and got your link!
