The Sound of Speed

By Jimmy Johnson

July 8, 2018


The beautiful spring from hell continues around here. It’s a gorgeous morning, but intense storms tore through Monday and Tuesday evening. Both were of similar strength and came through right before dark; they were so similar it’s difficult to remember which storm did exactly what. On Monday straight line winds of nearly 70 mph toppled trees and knocked out power over several counties, and on Tuesday a storm only slightly weaker knocked out power and cable (i.e., internet) again. At my abode, lightning fried digital clocks, LED light bulbs, the dishwasher, two ceiling fans and two surge protectors. Thank you, surge protectors! You gave your all. I could not update the morning following either storm. Did I mention it’s a beautiful day today?

    The heart of your writing while sounding agreeable at first, did not really settle properly with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but just for a while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in logic and you would do nicely to help fill in all those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.
