Um, so yeah, what's the deal with the severe thunderstorms this year? To date, I have had two large oak trees fall on or near my house, taking out one of my cars and two neighboring houses. What fun and games awaits us tonight? Oh, but on a fun twist to the typical Washington pre-storm panic, maybe the stores will have a run on pint-sized boxes of milk, since I haven't been able to make a half gallon survive five days without spoiling so far this June...

I wish it were going to rain men.
:)
Anyway, it looks like I won't be able to get to the gym tonight, unless I stop by right after work. The chances of me getting electrocuted while using a cardio machine are slim, right?
