Is One Hotdog A Picnic?

We just had a thunderstorm. Well, it was legally a thunderstorm because there was a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. That’s it; one video and one audio.

Reminds me of a Fourth of July parade we had in Pittsford VT one year. Somebody holding a flag went down the street of this, literally, wide spot in the road town, then the Girl Scouts marched by, then a little band, a pickup truck with something on it and that was the parade. Until they got to the end and turned around for another fly-by.

Some events in life barely qualify. Does one flash and one rumble count as a thunderstorm? If your barn gets hit, yes; if the weather report says, “Possible thunderstorm tonight,” then yes.

Reminds me of a radio station I used to work at. Every day during the summer, we’d end the weather forecast with, “Slight chance of widely scattered thunderstorms.” We figured that maybe someone, somewhere might have a storm – and if nobody did, listeners might think someone else got it, so we were safe.

One sneeze does not make a cold; one flash does not make a storm. Stay tuned.

Everybody has a story.
Eugene Domulevicz passed away last week. Not only a POW for more than a year in Stalag 17-B in Germany, he was also a member of the Caterpillar Club (people whose lives were saved by parachutes) for a survival jump from a burning aircraft.
