It's Okay... I Like the Rain Anyway

Last Thursday, we had a big electrical storm here in the Valley. I missed most of it because I was in a restaurant with Rachel, Staci and Becky, talking till the wee hours of the morning. When I got home, I discovered my internet wasn't working. It took us a few days of troubleshooting to figure out why, but it turns out the modem got zapped in the storm. Know what that meant? I was without the internet for a week.


A week, people.


Cut off my leg, why don't ya? I went down to the library a couple of times to check my email and do some speedy blogging, so I wasn't completely cut off. But close enough. I was oh so happy when the new modem arrived.


But that ain't all. The morning after the storm, I came out and saw something a little unusual in my yard.

This is the top of my palm tree:


This is the bottom:




All I could think was, "What in the?" LOL. I mean really. What in the???
