ON THE BACK BURNER

Noodle is hearing impaired, but I think he felt the two horrendous thunder claps we had thr other  night. I thought that the lightening strike that followed it was right here in our house.I think the condo moved. We lost our cable for about a half hour. Noodle vomited. There is no other way to explain his getting sick immediately after those two loud claps . His routine was what we do every day, his diet was the same, he didn't eat any street food. So what else could it be. I like a rainy night. I like thunder. I like to hear the thunder rolling away.  I remember a thunder storm that hit Grand Rapids when we were just getting ready to run in a night time road race. The down town area were we were congregating had a huge metal bell as a street decoration. Some dumb people got under it and pow, the thunder made that bell vibrate and temporarily deafened those people. That called off the race!  I happen to like to run in the rain, but I have to respect thunder. Especially when lightening is right behind it.
