33: Thunderbolts and Lightning, Very, Very Frightening

 Today, at eight-thirty, I set out for my daily ride.  I asked my daughter whether she would like to come, but she said it was too dark.  It was, in fact, mostly blue sky, with a few gray clouds.  It looked quite nice as I tooled out of the driveway, and while it was humid, it was pleasantly cool.  It seemed like the perfect start and timing for a lovely ride.

( If I'd known the weather, I'd've skipped this ride... )

My bike tire was in the garage before I could stop.  I parked, and ran inside, and just crawled up my husband's back as he sat at the computer, and held him hard.  I was so scared still!
I'm okay now, although the thunder outside still bugs me tonight.  Sparkle is unfazed.  My smart girl for not coming.
