Ramblings: This afternoon there were storms popping up to the north, east, and south. Big storms, growing quickly into huge thunderheads. The wind was blowing, too. I just knew we were going to get some rain. Lindsey and I went out towards Canyon Lake. It was very dark over there and I thought we might be stopped by flooded dips. We weren't, though, and when we got there we could tell it had just rained, but it was very calm and quiet and humid. We walked a short way down the First Water Creek overlook trail and saw some puddles. Didn't hear any thunder. By the time we got back to town, it looked like all the storms were fizzling out. Rats.
