Today's incoming thunderstorm. I knew it was coming, so I decided to take pics when I could of the developing clouds.

I miss a good storm. We don't get thunder boomers like this in the Pacific Northwest.

...look what they did to my boy... :(

My sister and I, and a good number of kids, grew up playing on this street.

Had a dinner guest join me for barbecue....

There are a few things I don't miss about home....

Wind is picking up ahead of the storms. I have half a mind to drive out there and drive back under them....

Where I am now.

I miss cheap fast decent Mexican food, for sure. But I also miss cheap fast decent barbecue, too.

Bill Miller won't ever win any gourmet awards, but they're miles better than anything I can get in Seattle.

Also while I try not to do too much in public to stave off harassment while I'm here, I will go out to isolated parks for a picnic. I know my isolated parks. :)

Eclipse Day: The Eclipse Itself (3/3)

The eclipse started okay. But the longer it went on, the thicker the clouds got. Sadly, just before totality, the clouds straight up hid the show, and didn't let up until hours and hours later.

But we had a nice dark four minutes of totality darkness. I'm okay with that. That was @#$(&ing magical.
