Today began with a thunderstorm making its way east through Kalamazoo.  From a distance it was a masterpiece.  When up close, it was best viewed through a window.  The streetlights turned back on for a few minutes and, if our city had any roosters, they were certainly confused by the darkness brought on by the storm which was followed by “Sunrise 2.0”.  I was the only one at home who watched the whole thing unfold and then fold back up.  Everyone slept through it, though my parental radar was watching for any signal — one ping only — that the thunder woke the boys up.  Morning thunderstorms seem out of place but aren’t unheard of.  From what I understand, we may get another line coming through sometime during the night.  I’ll watch like a kid on Christmas.
