towards later afternoon, i noticed some thunderheads building up over the eastern sierra foothills... they didn't look too serious, but they were nice to see after the endless procession of sunny, dry, and windy days that are the norm around here... then, to my surprise, lo and behold, for about 45 minutes between 7 and 8, we had an honest-to-god thunderstorm, lightning flashing, thunder booming, fat raindrops falling, and even a little hail... naturally, the temperature dropped about 15 degrees as well... i stuck my nose out the back door after it was over to smell the wet sage, one of my all-time favorite smells, before heading back inside to - where else? - the laptop... suddenly, one of the grandsons was banging on my door, hollering, "grandpa, grandpa, come see the sunset..." so, here ya are... enjoy...
