Oh My Stars and Garters

[dancinghorse]

Just a little bit ago, as I was contemplating the Wrath of Moi, we had a brief instance of the Wrath of God. Blinding actinic flash. Clap of thunder so loud and close it felt like a bomb going off. Dogs freaked. Cats disappeared. Horses, being Warhorses, didn't seem to mind too much.

I still have a headache from it. And no, there aren't any flames or any signs of emergency action, which there would be if, say, somebody's propane tank had blown up. This was good old hot air meets cold air go boom.

YOW.

Gracious! When I was a kid, I had a thunderboomer like that go off right above my head. The skies were overcast and threatening rain. My mom and I were hurrying from the grocery store to the car when this big BOOM went off. It was so loud we wound up on our knees with our hands over our heads, and so did everyone else in the parking lot. It sounded--and felt--like a bomb had exploded. I'll never forget it.

All's quiet now. In spite of downpours, we didn't get that much rain. Horses seem content; nobody's wet or cold. Dogs are in (as they've been for most of the evening), which makes them happy.

It's been A Day. In a way I feel as if that clap of thunder got rid of bad stuff. I fell over for a while, and woke up in a much calmer mood.
