Did you know you could fly

So driving home from work this afternoon I had to drive through the typical Louisiana mid-afternoon thunderstorm. I love thunderstorms, although I'd prefer to watch them from my living room window. Anyway, I saw this one lightning strike ahead of me that appeared to actually consist of *two* exactly parallel twin strikes. I don't know if there truly were two twin strikes or if a single strike was somehow reflected off of something into appearing like a twin strike, but it was the most amazing sight. I'm home now, and it's still thundering. Nice and cozy.

Oh, and also -- there is a devastatingly cute new graduate assistant at work. She has red hair like mine only with blonde streaks in it. And she seems very nice. That she be gay and single seems like too much to ask on top all that, but we'll see.
