Wow. Just... wow.

Work generally had nothing to do with the high point of my day, but today it did. I was almost done, just polishing the drinking fountains, the last thing of the day, when I looked out one of the big glass windows and saw a perfect sunset. The sun had just gone below the horizon, and a low bank of dark clouds was shaded perfectly from gold through orange and red to a gorgeous purple.

And then, as if God just felt like completely making my day, a gigantic bolt of lightning slammed down right across that scene. I just stood there stunned for a moment, it was so beautiful. And then I moved closer to get a wider view and saw a huge bank of dark stormcoulds, with red on the undersides from the sunset, coming in, lightning sparking back and forth among them. It was just the most gorgeous and amazing scene.

I drove home with lightning all around, and now the rain is pattering on the roof and I can still hear the ocasional mutter of thunder.

If I drop off-line tonight, the sotrm got the power lines, but I won't mind one bit. I will have been worth it.

Nothing like a good thunderstorm to top off a great day, hrm?

Not to mention the rain, and the chilly winds all over :Þ

Almost as good, really. But the thunder and lightning easily takes the cake.
