Thunder

I just heard thunder. It shocked me, because I realized I haven't heard thunder in about two years. We don't get no thunder in Abbotsford. It's really raining outside.

Hearing thunder brings my memory back to the days when I grew up in Kelowna. Hot summer nights. Rainy spring days, sprinting home from school as raindrops the size of metallic currency pound into my bare head and oversized plastic backpack.

And now I'm back. In Kelowna. Where the rain falls and the thunder crashes. Odd.
