Reflection

I'm sitting here in Wisconsin today watching the first real thunderstorm I have been through in 4 years arrive from the west [there typically aren't any t-storms in Seattle] after taking a long adventure from Seattle to Lawrence to Wisconsin in 6 days and I am thinking to myself "it is so quite here." No loud buses, no screaming students, no planes flying overhead...and then my silence is broken by a loud crack of thunder that puts the sound of the #48 bus at 5:00am to shame.
