It didn't actually rain. The verbal drumroll was for nothing, the chest-beating the same. I didn't get wet, not even a little. I did go for a run though, cleaned out my sinuses, sent some adrenalin through my calfs, so all was not lost.
Just a lingering frustration as all Mother Nature's foreplay came to nothing, like a cheap date she passed out and went to sleep. Still, you never know... morning glory?

It's true, the brewing of a good summer thunderstorm is one of the joys of summer. The baking hot day, humidity rising, darkness building, the distant rolls of thunder. Rain pelting down and bouncing. And when all is done the smell of the ground that you only get when it hasn't rained for a while and steam rising.
Haven't had any of that this year - just the rain!
