Summer T-Storms

The thunderstorm the other night was AMAZING. Cracks of lightening that make you fear for your ears, howling winds, raindrops like hail stones. I tried to drive home at 3am and it was ridiculous. I know this area like the back of my hand, and still ended up driving 3x the necessary distance to get home because there wasn't enough visibility to see landmarks much less lanes, curbs, or street signs. It was OUT OF CONTROL. Just sheets of slated water, my windshield wipers on crazy high might has well have been off for all the good they did. Two + inches flooding the streets at all times. In dips in the road it was shin-deep lakes we faced where if you stopped your car was going to die on you...

It was so dang fun!!! I was parked directly in front of the building yet in the 3 seconds it took to run out it was still as though I dumped a pitcher of water on my seat cuz there was so much just ON my body.

Matt was at work doing deliveries and recounted an added complication of people running around naked in the streets everywhere... Haha... I love the violence and energy of Summer Storms in Milwaukee!!!!

Reality check

So I was a sitter at work the other night. When the Old Lady I was keeping an eye on 1-on-1 woke up in the middle in the night and was clearly disoriented, I asked her a couple questions to determine just how much so. Her responses were as follows:

M: Do you know where you are?
OL: Halloween.
M: ... Do you know what year it is?
OL: .... *long pause, trying very hard*... the year 32 hundred...
M: Do you know what month?
OL: Christmas!
M: Can you tell me your name?
OL: Mary.

Her name was not Mary. Straight up 0 for 4. She was cute, though.
