rain

it rained last night here. not just a few random drops either. a hard rain. a gully washer some might call it. happened about 1:30 am. i know this because i was awakened by it. the rain pulled me from a sweet dream about beautiful beach lasses lounging on the sand with their toes in the ocean.
it was a good thing it was a loud rain. it made me jump out of bed, unlock the door, and run to my jeep. my jeep that i had locked about an hour earlier. my jeep with the window down and the sunroof open. my jeep that i was standing beside when i looked up at the sky and made the conscious decision to leave open. my jeep with a half of an inch of water in the cupholder already.
so this morning i stood in the rain in my driveway in my underwear and rolled up the window and closed the sunroof of my car. it was ok. it was one of those funny moments when you become aware of your own folly and i heard mother nature laughing in the tumultuous downpour. i ran back in and toweled off and changed underwear and went back to bed. the lassies by the beach were gone but i still had a smile on my face.

cue bob dylan or the alarm at this point…
