Shawm, I didn’t know you watched political shows and the news?

Shawm is wise beyond his years.

Love, love, love the artwork.

That’s an oldie but goodie joke. True, too.

That’s even more true as of late.

In a storm like that I would be under the bed with them, too

Nailed it.

The worst is when you hear a snap and then a nanosecond later you hear the thunder and see the flash at the same time, and the air smells like sulfur.

Shawm, you’ve got that right!

Ooh, good one, Shawm!

Some lightning is accompanied by a sinister crackle. Often preceded with a thready jagged appearance. Just a bit extra evil-ish.

Shawm, you are TOO good!

Great metaphor, Shawn.

A joke as old as those measurements that’s as true as ever.

Ouch … but I must admit, Shawm is correct. As the old adage says, “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”

Almost makes me miss North Texas thunderstorms …I said “almost”.

Wow, do my dogs relate to this storyline. They do NOT like the booms. Fireworks, either.

Yes, beautiful artwork, Nancy.

We were taught to count the seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of the thunder, for an approximate distance.
