Thunderstorm!

[hsapiens]

It has been far too long since we had a proper thunderstorm. I've been listening to one blow in all evening and now it's finally got enough steam to force air in through the crack under one of the doors. The wind is a wonderful, eerie sound that would be right at home in a creepy movie.

I love thunderstorms. When I'm inside and dry, that is.

Man, we had lousy field trips compared to yours. We went to San Jacinto (near here) and stood in the weeds to see where Texas won its independence. We went to Washington-on-the-Brazos and stood in the weeds and bugs to see where Texas had its first capitol. We went to the sugar plant, where I got sick because the smell of the sugar was too sweet (I have weird, non-standard responses to many smells other people like). We went to a Japanese restaurant for lunch once but I couldn't eat because I'm deathly allergic to seafood. We went to the art museum ONCE and I loved that! We went to the un-air-conditioned Hogg plantation. And I think that's about it. Not particularly great memories except for the art museum.

Oh! In 5th grade, we went to the school district's indoor pool facilities where we all learned took swimming lessons. I enjoyed that except for the whole "changing clothes in front of your peers for the first time" part. :|
