Lightning electrical skies… addicting…  charged…  electricity in the air… lime rock insomnia…

The summer was dry and the rainy season late this year. But the afternoon and evening thunderstorms came back toward the end of August and for most of September South Florida has been struck every day repeatedly with lightning and thunder storms, especially at night.

Purple, yellow and white flashes striking open the night sky, revealing towering clouds bubbling and boiling into the atmosphere.

Sometimes the storms are overhead, with very loud cracks, but often far enough out to sea or west-southwest over the Everglades or northwest over Big Cypress that you can’t hear them at all. Your mind thinks it’s just silent electrical flashes but of course out where it’s happening it’s all banging, crashing and pouring.

Lightning, over and over again, striking down onto the Earth with a vengeance – as much as 100 million volts.

I’ve been pretty ‘lit up’ the last few weeks and unable to sleep.

Not sure if the electrical storms have anything to do with it.

I thought maybe because my azz was still single.

But at night when the storms are flashing I can feel this electricity in my body.

It’s very exciting. Like your rpm’s are turned up and you can’t slow them down.

Miami is built on top of lime rocks, and they are porous, permeable. They are everywhere, even dug up and used in construction.

You know, I bet most people never thought about it but the Miami area may be the most wilderness city in the United States. Six million people living between the legendary Atlantic Ocean eastward and westward the massive wilds of the Everglades and hundreds of miles of the wild Gulf of Mexico, with Biscayne National Park to the south, and Big Cypress to the northwest. We are completely surrounded by big wilderness.
