Today was Liberation Day for me... the last of the huge papers left my hands. It's funny how heavy 65 pages is, because I'm pretty sure that a 5 ton weight has been removed from the top-middle of my spine. The sun is brighter, the air is clearer, and the birds chirp louder. Although that's probably natural because my life has been lived in the dungeon of Brown Library since winter.

Speaking of clear air, the good Lord saw fit to send some refreshing precipitation to this little desert town tonight, and really did it with some flair. Some friends and I went out to Lake Fort Phantom and took in a wild light show. I also took this as an opportunity to try out some lightning photography skills. (Click image for larger version).



Sometimes there are moments in time that are simply breathtaking. There were about 7,598 of those tonight.
