It really served to remind me why I chose the phrase "Thunder over Denali" for my go to expression of astonishment and frustration. A thunderstorm over a mountain is a wondrous sight and a powerful experience.
While was out and about working in the great outdoors today (and I almost didn't escape the office) there was an amazing thunder storm overhead. Bolts of lightening miles long lanced across the sky. Thunder rumbled in long rolling waves through the mountains. The radio was alive with the fire crew calling out the coordinates of lightening strikes and then detailing the fires they contained with amazing speed. Now I was tucked away in my truck even if I was on the rim of a 7000ft caldera so I was perfectly safe. Still the bosses hovered and fretted but could find no truly justifiable reason to chain me to the desk for the day. ( I was generously allowed to go 30ft from my rig) Seriously having bosses who care deeply about one's health and well-being is nice but over active maternal instincts can tip that into coddling territory. How it is possible for an over-protective boss to hover while telecommuting from ninety miles away I don't know but she managed. So long and short of it I got to go out in the thunderstorm.
