lightning without clouds or rain

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.08.01

July went out with a bang - thunder, that is - under sunny skies without rain. It was hard to see the lightning against the glare of the sun, but it must have been there.

August is being a bit more traditional - tonnes of rain with today's thunderstorm. Happily, I was still at work rather than on the way home. Mari had a flat when we went to Tommy Thompson on the weekend, and I've been riding around without a spare for the past two days.

I'm particularly averse to a good soaking right now, as I have my fourth sinus infection of the year. Fourth! In August!

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
