Hammered!

Well, the Elementals are having a grand time this afternoon.  Here at the house, we are being hammered by a severe thunderstorm.  At my location we are being seriously pounded by lightning that is right on top of us and rain that is falling so hard you can barely make out the houses across the street.  And, of course, there is the earthquake in Virginia.  The earthquake comes as no surprise.  I was feeling foggy and anxious all day, but felt much better since around 13:30, or shortly after the quake hit.


I must take a moment to mention my visit to the main transfer station for the local bus system.  I had to go out and take care of a couple errands, and ended up waiting for the bus home from downtown.  I discovered an especially vile stench there today.  It was something like rancid sauerkraut mixed with extra nasty diaper.  Whenever the breeze from the West died down, I felt like I might die from the odor.  I was actually grateful for the smoke from all the tobacco addicts, since it helped cover the truly awful reek of the week.  Well done Sarasota!
