Yawn, it ain’t gonna rain. Might get your windshield dirty, but not gonna be anything to write home about. Thor is on vacation.
Oh Billy, thunder and rain in St. George right now – 3:40 p.m. where are you? 🙂

Billy is hiding under a blanket with his I Phone. Count the seconds between lightning bolts Billy. Just kidding Billy. Wow! there’s go’s a other one.
Makes me think of a old saying. ‘rain rain go away, come back another day”
Yup, it’s coming down really heavy now – 4:20pm.
Okay okay, I stand corrected. The first sound of thunder got my attention, then the pitter patter of rain, then I knew I had spoke too soon. See what too much beer this early in the day will do? Tell ya what; take me to lunch and we’ll call it even and I won’t do it again.
😀 An offer I can’t refuse, perhaps, Billy
