Not so frightening

[zen_monk]

 There was thunder and lightning tonight!

Picked up a shift at the Boardwalk and minding my own business at the nut cart (yelled at a guy for just reaching into the pot where i put leftover food stuff in because he thought it was a sample bin [which tbh he should've asked before if he can just reached in] and so I yelled at him because i have no impulse control when the boundary between customer and seller was crossed), 

and all of a sudden there was a huge rain shower that lasted like half an hour over the beach that got the people finding roof shelter and getting out of the line for rides. I sadly had no cover and sheltered the cash register and credit card machine with jackets so those won't be wet. 

During the shower, there was a lot of lightning over the ocean and thunder competed with the rumblings of the roller coasters overhead. It was a refreshing downpour that let me close the cart early and helped out the candy storefront. Witnessed purple lightning through the clouds and flashes overhead that made the lights flicker sometimes.

Hopefully SC would get more rain tonight or that other parts of NorCal would get a good drink. The heat was ridiculous the past week and the addition of bugs nibbling at me was not a desirable combination. 

(A lone bee landed on the cart; it was so lethargic that poking it wouldn't fly away. I rescued it when it dropped to the ground from the rain, and gave it a piece of hardened sugar that was crystallized from the caramelized nuts I made. Ate that lump up even as I moved it to a flowerbed.)
