Well, the thunderstorm passed and the roof is still on my house and as far as I can tell, except for blowing a few of the developing pecans off of my pecan tree, there was no real damage. Well, except the electricity shut off a couple of more times after I went to bed and my alarm clock did not go off as scheduled. Now it looks like I might be running a bit late today. Thankfully, I am almost sure I did not have anything truly crucial that had to be done early this morning.
I did notice that I had slipped somewhat in the standings on the Blogosphere Ecosystem even though I have exactly the same number of links as yesterday. I hopefully have not hit the apex of my upward movement, but I am mindful that a lot of the links point to specific posts and at some point those linked posts will fall off of the index page and the link will disappear. As there does not seem to be a great amount of linking to my recent postings*, I suspect that I will see my blog falling back down toward the bottom. And just when I was almost ready to be a part of the TOP 250 Blog in the Blogosphere Ecosystem.
*I especially thought this post and this post would have gotten a bit more attention than they have.

Posted by: AstreaEdge at June 12, 2003 10:01 AMI love storms. Love them. This could be because I have seen only one in the three years here, and they are rare in San Diego too. I have to go all the way back to the old homestead in WV to see a decent thunderbanger.
It also could be because I've never had my computer/etc fried by lightning.
So I envy you. :)
If you did the nekkid rain dance, one can only hope the neighbors took pictures. Reasonably priced, of course.
Theory of Devolution, what a grand idea for a diatribe.
As for the nekkid rain dance, I did throw on a pair of boxer shorts and run briefly into the downpour, but that rain was cold> I quickly returned inside, but was cooled already immensely.
