fun etymology fact i just learned from my lightning stress-googling: the phrase "out of the blue" comes from lightning that strikes in a place not under a cloud — out of the blue sky.
glad i decided to stop hiking here instead of going further up the mountain tho
camping in a thunderstorm tonight and i gotta tell you. it's pretty scary!
seems to be going further away (15-20 secs right now, == 3-4 miles), but it was REALLY CLOSE for a hot sec there and i am not in a great spot for it 😬
