Wow. We just had an incredible 5-minute thunderstorm. Once again, the windows didn't break. This time, my apartment windows were mostly closed - hopefully all will be relatively dry.
At the height of it, I couldn't see anything but grey out our windows.
What a thing of beauty...

your last sentence made me think of the line in a song from the musical "Hair". the lyrics are actually from Shakespeare ;-)

"what a piece of work is man, how noble in reason."

That line from Hamlet of course having been touted for centuries as the slogan of the Enlightenment....

Which shouldn't be so, since it's *completely* *sarcastic* in the context of the play!!!!! Argh!!!!!!

end rant here....

...that rant had as much to do with the context of the statement in the post to which it ostensibly replied as the statement, when applied to the Enlightenment, had to its original context.
