Another Storm

Tonight we had another thunderstorm.  Les & I went out onto our front porch to watch the storm.  There was a gentle rain and quite a bit of lightning.  Then, the rain got heavier and heavier and once the wind started blowing it was time to come in.

Schultz took his place under the bathtub... that's where he feels safest during a storm.  I haven't the slightest idea how I'm going to get him out to go to the bathroom before bed.  He's not moving anywhere!

The ranchers around here are very happy to have all of the rain.  That means that their livestock will have food over the winter. 

What a peaceful co-existence the people of Trinidad have.  (Most of them anyway.)  You have ranchers, retirees, want-to-be gangsters, and trans-gender people all mixed up together here.  It's surprising how accepting this town is.  And for this I am thankful.
