Big thunderstorm this evening. Lots of rain and big nasty bolts of lightning in our back yard - quite literally. After it was all said and done and the sun was shining through, I decided to venture out with baby to get the remaining items on our grocery list. My husband (the chef) had decided he needed lemongrass.

After a futile attempt to find lemongrass at the Albertson's just up the street, we headed the other direction to the newly remodeled Safeway. Lovely, fine, whatever.

The lightning had taken out the stoplights and the lights on the inside of Safeway. It was awfully fun squinting in the dark trying to a: find the lemongrass b: keep baby awake, as he was signing "night, night", presumably because it was dark.

Once we get everything we needed, we get the hell out. We go back through the same intersection that had been blown out by the lightning.

Everyone SHOULD KNOW it's a FOUR WAY STOP. When it's my turn to go, some asshole runs the what-was-light and nearly T-Bones me. Not just me, but the baby. Motherfucker!!! I laid on my horn, and another guy waiting his turn to go in a big pick-up, flipped a U and started chasing after him.

What a mother fucking chicken humping fucktard.
