Lusty Thunderstorms
Love this paragraph, from Star Tribune coverage of this afternoon's t-storms:
Home this afternoon with the Dude and a friend. M was spending the afternoon at a friend's house so we took her little brother - a 7 year old the Dude has known since pre-school. An even exchange, and it freed me from having to engage in serious Pokemon conversation. I can only "fake it" for so long, but this kid actually likes Pokemon so they were living it up for a while discussing favorite characters, who has the best powers, or whatever.
The boys had abandoned swimming and retreated indoors before the storm hit, so I was left to run over to the neighbors to chase down the beach ball and noodles that got caught up in the wind.

The lusty thunderstorms grew out of a change in air mass, as a cool fronts butted into the hot, humid air of recent days, Carlyon said.
