Thunderstorm's-a-comin'

[Zomby Woof]

I am feeling woofish... a bit edgy... a bit hungry... I smell rain. I am poised for nature to unleash the fury of her lightning. Monsoon season commences.

Tread cautiously around me today. Thunder is rolling across the high desert plateau of northern Arizona... the ancient Anasazis' goodbye gift to me my last Saturday at seven thousand feet, in the shadow of their forgotten homeland. Dance with the Kokopelli, for he knows...

The Navajos knew it, the Hopis knew it. The mountains have medicine. The coyote calls for me to return to California. Arizona has been a good host, but I fear I overstay my welcome.

Soon, I will be home, and the coyote will sleep under the full moon, by the Grand Canyon, tired from howling, hungry, and in need of restoration.

Soon.

1. And the ozone smell

I love that.

:hi:

(Hotter than hell here, though.)

[Zomby Woof]

7. Happy since the move?

I hope so. :-)

If you and Nick ever get up the courage to rob a bank, you are welcome to visit us in BLUE south L.A. County! :hi:

[XanaDUer]

22. Hell yes!

Yeah, this area is fairly conservative, but not nutso we-will-kill-you-if-you-don't-think-Bush-is-the-Messiah crazy.

And the pay is great. Benefits kick ass. Apartment is a palace compared to where we used to live.

The schedule rules. We would love to visit! :hi:

Same to you guys-check us out if you're there.

2. Thunder is rolling across the high plateaus of Zomby

The frightened natives take cover under the bushes and rend their clothes and gnash their teeth at the coming of the wolf.

3. They're in the neighborhood here, too.

I just went out and finished the lawn work that was interrupted by rain yesterday.

4. Let's Go Fly Kites And Climb Tall Trees!!

I like to stand in open fields and hold wrought iron fireplace pokers up in the air.

[Zomby Woof]

5. But...but...

That could misalign my chakras. :-(

[arwalden]

12. No Problems...

For a mere $2500.00 I can sell you a hexagonal water-making machine that perfectly aligns the molecules of ordinary tap water. If you drink the treated haxagonal aligned water, it will cure all that ails ya.

6. Omigod, ZombyWoof! How did it happen? I'm wearing my Kokopelli

shirt, and you're talking about Kokopelli! So here you are, hot out of the camera, me, just a couple of minutes ago...

[Zomby Woof]

8. I have mystical powers

A Navajo medicine man taught me how to have visions. ;-)

I can see what ALL DUers are doing at all times. Just keep that to yourself, ok?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Sure, no prob, my dear ZombyWoof....

Of course, you just blabbed it all over the Lounge! And hey, no comment on the pic I worked SO HARD to get just for you?!!! I mean, I understand that I'm no beauty, but still!

:rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

15. You know you're beautiful!

Inside and out. :-)

You and my Mom would get along WAY too well. :loveya:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Um....what? What's with the "mysticism"?

[SarahB]

11. And changes are-a-brewing.

Best wishes in everything. Hope we all survive the storms, dude. :hi:

[sundog]

13. here in new mexico too

i love desert monsoons

[Zomby Woof]

16. It keeps sputtering

I want it to UNLEASH. It's cathartic.

[Catshrink]

14. Bratwurst barks and growls at the thunder...

My sweet brave little puppy!

[Zomby Woof]

17. Did you watch the Cubs beat the Cardinals today??

SWEET. The Cards, the Giants, or the Braves... can't decide which of them are the Yankees of the NL. :hi:

[Catshrink]

18. No --

I didn't watch the game. I'm severely suffering from sleep deprivation, one of the effects of the surgery. I'm about to go nucking futts.

[Zomby Woof]

19. I am sorry sweetie

:-(

As a lifelong insomniac, I can try offering empathy.

My mom uses this sleep aid her doctor recommended to her, uses the amino acid found in turkey and milk which induces sleep. It's natural and harmless. I cannot recall the name it is marketed with, or if it requires a prescription. If you can find out, see if it will help. :hug:

[Catshrink]

20. Tryptophane, I think.

I'll run to the store and get some sliced turkey and make myself a little cracker sammich at bedtime.

I get plenty sleepy, just can't make the leep from drowsy to slumber. Brat went and slept on the sofa last night!

[Zomby Woof]

21. yeah!

I remember the name of the amino acid, but am not sure if it is sold under that name.

A turkey sub makes me drowsy! I hope it helps.

Poor Brat!

[Heidi]

23. I love thunderstorms.

Absolutely.

[Cerridwen]

24. Here, too. Here being Las Vegas, NV

We've been having thunderstorms - beautiful, bright, enervating thunderstorms - the lightning bright and over the neighborhood.


118 degree F temps most of last week - yeah, but it was a dry heat - sucked the moisture right out of your body as you walked out the door.

I awoke this morning to soft rain, 75 degrees F, the sound of rain softly hitting the leaves on my neighbors trees and the smell of green everywhere. 97% humidity and this native desert rat is in heaven.

*sigh*
