Howie, get a one iron, cause not even God can hit a one iron!

I wanna see Howie take a golf swing!!!

(Not that I'm one to talk, but him swinging a club is just something that seems like it would finally be an opportunity to see someone worse than I am!)

How the hell did I get dragged into this?????

BTW, great shots, Walt!

Very cool.

Very cool. I used to sit in my garage in Virginia Beach and watch the storms from the covered and dry comfort of a chair (and usually a refreshment). Never thought of trying to take photos, but then again that was pre-digital and it would be expensive to buy and develop all those mostly blank frames.

Very nicely done!

I lived in Jeddah, KSA for close to 9 years and it got very boring. Seldom cloudy, almost never rained and was warm all year. I did see snow once when I was coming back from Riyadh, stopped in Taif for a rest break and ended up staying the night because of an inch or so of snow. Didn't relish the thought of driving down the Escarpment at night with snow on the road. Found out the next morning that the snow ended about three turns down from the top so it wouldn't have been that difficult.

Even when it used to rain here in Northern California, we'd hear thunder about--I'm not kidding--three or four times a year, and some years, literally none at all. And BTW I meant three or four claps of thunder, not thunder storms. Usually one and done. Something I missed a LOT from other places I've lived. I love the drama of it. I know a lot of northern types are pretty envious of us getting to ride year around, and you should be, but believe it or not, day after day of clear blue skies, month after month, gets pretty frickin' boring. Excellent shots too. Thanks.

No kidding!? I lived in King Abdullah Economic City for 6 months in 2013 -- just up the road from Jeddah -- and got a ten-minute sprinkle during a trip to the market in Rabigh. The locals were acting funny, and paranoid me thought it might be nerve gas or something.

WOW! Great shots and lightning. We don't get that much here in SoCal.
