Hot But fun!

I hope to download pictures from my camera today then upload a few dozen or five.  I tried to do it Friday but the place I go to had all 3 machines under the weather (aka slimed or broken in some manner). 

Friday the beach had a free concert that was back lit by an amazing storm front.  I snapped pictures so hopefully the lightning will show up in one of the frames.  It was intense.  Three out of four cardinal directions had massive thunderstorms.  The band wasn't very good but they were having fun.  Dreads and waist length hair swinging while they did bad renditions of Bob Marley tunes. 

Saturday was blistering hot but headed out west to Nick's.  Hadn't been there in a few weekends for one reason or another.  Nick played the cd he and Nick Jr had made in 2001 when they drove across the USA on a massive road trip.  It was three years before Nick Jr fell to MS.  Mind blowing on so many levels.  To see Nick prancing around, mocking his dad, getting pulled over by the cops for speeding while laughing and teasing a good 50 pounds heavier and healthier was bittersweet yet fun.  They went to Roswell NM and Nick Jr said, "Dad, I found my people."  Seeing the Oklahoma City bomb site was sad but weird because they pipe in this odd music and have chairs where they found the bodies of the victims.  Small chairs for children.  Nick Jr refused to go into Graceland so Nick shot pictures while trying to tell him it was iconic and a necessary part of the trip (Nick lost - they just saw the outside and went back on the road).  Nick Jr is healing and within a month should be out of the one air bed and back into his.  With his 6'4" frame the air bed isn't long enough and causes him troubles. 

Sunday friends came over and we barbecued and had a relaxing day.  The heat was nearly unbearable but July and August are the hottest months here so I guess I should suck it up.  *grin* and sit inside a/c locations.
