True story: My mom grew up in Eldon, Iowa, where the farmhouse from American Gothic is. Grandma took me by it once. She called the area of town "Pulltale." At the time, i was too young to figure out that it meant the area of town where the railroad workers would spend their money on payday. Turns out that the American Gothic House was, in fact, a cat house.

on the contrary, they actually seem to get continually louder. i really don't know how they do it ; you'd think there would be a limit to how much noise they can generate.


hmm... or even adult-sized ones, to give them some extra reach.


no storm here ? where are you ? aren't you at home ? or am i in a micro-climate again ? i am sure that thunder was loud enough to be heard in montreuil !

Make little tin hats for them to wear when they go outdoors! With antennas! Paint them football colors!

No, I'm at work, waaaay to the West of you And it's the same boring cloudy weather since this morning.

I hope there was rain in Montreuil and my tomato plants got some of it.

ah, waaaay to the west eh ? i hope you've got a good book for your train rides. it probably did rain in montreuil but if not just send your tomato plants over here, we're drowning the past few days. saturday night coming home, on one of the municipal information boards, i saw the message "watch out for storms. do not take shelter under a tree." so you know it's bad.

Bald people statistically have a greater chance of getting struck down by lightning.

I guess God hates comb-overs.

When I attended Bowling Green State Univ. (the one in Ohio), there was a brand new 8 story library - the 4 corners of each floor were huge picture windows with desks. I used to go to the top floor during thunderstorms and watch them roll in! Quite an impressive sight - esp. at night! These were major storms rolling in off Lake Erie.

The only down side was the usual power glitches/outages that accompanied the bad storms - knocking out the elevators. You learned not to use them during a storm unless you weren't planning on going anywhere for the next few hours - and weren't claustrophobic!
