Warm weather, but no sun.

I'm driving home for spring break tomorrow and it is supposed to RAIN. Not only rain, and not just a sprinkle, but thunderstorms. The whooooole waaaaayyyyy. Ugh. I was really looking forward to the long drive home this week before I found out it was going to be an annoying rain-stricken commute.
I like driving. Especially when I can hit cruise, roll down the windows and blast my favorite music. In the summer, as I come from a small town in WNY where there isn't always something super duper exciting to do, my friends and I have gotten into the habit of driving for fun. Something about it turns the car into a confessional where we can all just rant about our issues and give advice; nonjudgemental turf. Gas prices are more expensive now of course so this hobby has certainly diminished in its appeal factor...but only because of monetary reasons.
The weather has been warming up though, even if there are going to be thunderstorms. I don't mind the rain when it's warm out. Thunderstorms are cool too. I was just talking about them with a couple friends a few nights ago when we had a brief one here on the island. I don't know what it is about thunder and lightning storms that we find so fascinating. Maybe it's the fact that something so beautiful about nature has the enormous power to fry us like a piece of bacon. You know when you think about it, nature really is awesome.
