went to a rock and roll show in Lincoln last night. good stuff. it was good to see Jason.
i left a bit early because i heard there would be rain or storms. plus i only know one way to get home and they were shutting part of that down at 11pm, so i figured i'd better get past it before then. i was walking out to my car and it started to rain harder.
i ended driving home from lincoln through a horrible storm. it was impressive, but horrid to drive through. visibility sucked, especially since i have an old car that tends to fog up, the cool/cold air doesn't work, so i had to crack a window in back just to keep it all from being steamy. much of the way i was able to follow red lights up ahead of me, lots of semis on the road. of course, semis would come from behind and i'd have several seconds of not being able to see at all as they passed me...that was no fun. the lightning was so close at times that it would literally blind me for a couple seconds. "white knuckle driving" at its finest, kids. yet i didn't want to, couldn't really stop, not in that kind of storm. anyway, obviously i made it back safely. what should've been 45 minutes to an hour drive took me from around 10:30ish to a bit after midnight. by the time i got there, carole was in her room and it was all dark in there, one of the phones was still gone, but seth was on IM and she never said anything to me when i was upstairs, so she must've gotten to sleep ok. everybody at work was talking about how the last few days it's so hard to sleep with the storms going on. also i guess there had been talk of a tornado but nothing really happened with that. anyway, that's my big fun excitement and i got to see The Billions play.
