::Flash::: Baaa---Booom!*

We are getting quite the storm in San Francisco (and I imagine in the rest of the Bay) this morning.

One of the many places I lived as a kid was Tucson, AZ, and the Sonoran desert thunderstorms were spectacular. So, I love thunderstorms, and a thunderstorm in San Francisco is about as rare as a competent idea from a city supervisor.

Well, this morning, we got a few, bright flashes, followed by the ridiculously powerful claps, booms and bangs. It's raining so hard, water is actually collecting on the sides of the hills.

Storms are cool...

How's the snow and ice almost everywhere else? (hee, hee)

*The title of the post is an homage to a fictive series from my good friend Ian.

The snow and ice in New Jersey are great! Thanks for asking! The snowmen have been going through a nice freeze-thaw cycle--kind of a Dorian Grey thing, with eyes and noses falling off and forming slush fruitcakes in puddles on the ground. And pretty soon it will no longer be too dangerous to skate in the swamp between the railroad tracks and the electric power substation!

Yours for only $1,200,000.00 (No kidding)

987 hp
0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds
251 mph top speed

But what kind of gas mileage, and what about insurance cost?
