Rainy morning in DFW...
...torrents of it, and driving home from my girl's condo I plowed my way though water and more water. Got home, stripped, got in the shower and exposed myself to even more water, though at a much more preferred temperature. Then the lights went out.
Hmm, I thought. Lightning hit a pole? But there was very little thunder with this storm. More likely someone skidded off the road and hit a pole.
Kept thinking there, in the shower, in the dark, what if lightning hit the building while I was showering. Would the electricity come down the water pipes and make the gap between shower head and drain via my body? Would I even feel anything, or would I blow like a light bulb? How long until someone would find me, dead, charred, naked, with the water still running?
Just a passing thought. I didn't really care.
Had an interesting conversation about guns this morning. First with my girl over the phone, and then with my co-workers. Apparently there was a shoot out between cars on the freeway yesterday. With all the people carrying guns around here I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often (like in Los Angeles). My co-worker told me that $150 and a simple gun safety class will get you a concealed weapon permit here in Texas.
So I thought about that. Me, carrying a gun around. A gun. Me. Hmmm.
Not going to happen.

Here in "... the great state of Chicago..." (one of my favorite Dan Quayle quotes... That guy was *almost* as smart as George W.! (grin)), Oprah Winfrey was just on a jury trial about a guy who, with a gun, shot another guy over FIFTY BUCKS! (And yes, I KNOW that GUNS don't kill people, people kill people... Including people armed with feathers, books, bananas, straws, pickles, big foam sports team fingers, chocolate sauce, Red Bull sprinkled around in copious quantities, KY Jelly, etc, etc, etc....) ;-)
