I really thought today's post was going to be about how we finally got some rain. It was looking very promising this evening. The sky grew very dark. The wind picked up. The air was noticably cooler. Thunder rumbled all around. There were even a few flashes of lightning in the distance. The radar showed a big-ass thunderstorm heading right for us and getting larger as it picked up steam.
As usual, somehow we got left out. I watched in disbelief as the big thunderstorm split into three parts just as it was getting close enough to smell the rain. You can guess the rest. The three parts took off in different directions like they were being repelled by a giant anti-rain forcefield with an epicenter located on our roof. It rained as close as three frelling blocks from us, but NOT ONE DROP here at home. This is extremely disappointing. Is it wrong of me to wish that Tropical Storm "Chris" will somehow end up over Atlanta? I don't want it to do anything bad to coastal people, but dang it - a tropical storm seems like our only hope of ever getting rain again.

It rained here last night, at least what passes for rain in these parts, if that makes you feel any better...
Just now we're getting a thunder storm and with 100+ temps, upstate NY is ready for a downpour!!
