CLOUDBURST!
It's now raining so hard the streets have gone white where a sheen of water jumps up back to the sky with each new pitterpatter ... it is madness. The air has nearly gone white... buses, cars, stopping. Most vehicles have lights on now. (Why do they do that? Do headlights somehow dry out the rain?) ... I've done a tiny bit of bloghopping and found this one about music from Jesus's time: http://theancientstar-song.blogspot.com/ - have a look and see if you like it.
I'm off to see Mother Hubbs now. Maybe she can be a cornerstone of sanity in the wild seas of my existence. Or something like that. See ya later!
In The Netherlands it's pretty customary that everybody basically always has their headlights turned on. Even in broad daylight it makes your car seen a little bit better which prevents a few more accidents.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments and the honor of your link today. I hope a few stop by. Enjoyed reading a bit here and there. Here in the States same as vinz in Netherlands. Varies from State to state but think most have laws for being able to see oncoming cars. Accident prevention.

I'll trade you some of our heat for a little rain. I know it sounds strange coming from Germany.
ReplyDeleteThe wind has kicked up, the clouds are getting dark....wet weather, thunderstorms on the way here in the New World..
ReplyDeleteI like it when rain comes so hard it looks like smoke blowing off the sides of the buildings. That means they're all stuck inside, which means they're leaving me alone.
ReplyDeleteI think most people fear rainstorms because rain knows what it's doing and where it wants to go in life.
Headlights are just for visibility.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in and for adding my site to your sidebar. I have also added you to mine.
ReplyDeleteI hope your head is feeling better now that there has been some rain. I know that heavy head feeling that is associated with pressure changes when there is rain coming!
I hope that things settle for you this week!
Visibility so that others can see you because in rain that heavy you can't see a thing. It's the law in some states but not in Vermont.
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading your post, our skies opened up. It's constant and unrelenting rain.
thanks for stopping by at our blog!! actually i have no idea who we are named after! but i'll be sure to ask!!

Aberdeen has been bathed in brilliant sunshine all day making a pleasant change, Im one of those who switch my headlights on in heavy rain its become an automatic reaction now
ReplyDeleteWe put our head lights on in heavy rain purely to be seen. There are idiots out there who drive like maniacs whatever the weather and no-one wants to be smashed into.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
o i see about the headlights now... being a nondriver, to me it always looked atmospheric in a storm, suddenly these lights coming on everywhere ... considering, as i said, the air going "white" i can see how such lights would be useful ...
ReplyDeleteMy car is a 2006 Honda Civic and my running lights are always on when my headlights are off. The cars in Canada have "daylight' headlights that are always on. It's a law for cars built after a certain date.
ReplyDeleteI love rain myself. Good thing I live in Seattle, huh? Yesterday it 87 with high humidity. NASTY. I was my clouds and my 60 degree weather back.
Hope you're keeping dry!!!
I checked out the blog, but why do they call it music from Jesus time? He says it's recorded between the 1960's and 1980's, a period of Evangelism. Hmmm, I never considered that a particularly Christian time. Then again, I wasn't alive or aware for most of it, but still. I thought it was gonna be, like, JESUS' TIME.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have 15 (now 16) answers to an entry that short!
ReplyDeleteI liked your first line about it raining so hard the streets "have gone white..." and the word "sheen" works nicely.
