Last night there was an incredible lightning storm just north of St. Augustine. We noticed the flashes, and once we saw that it was far enough away to be safe, I grabbed the camera found a good spot. The storm was too far away for any thunder, and I did not think you would get much out of Nancy and I oohing and aaaahhhing, so I tried to put it to music. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think.

Thanks for teaching me that word, by the way!

What Robert is Reading Now

I just got this book, and already the first chapter has me excited. I suspect this is going to be a very influential book for me.

I learned and understood more from the first three chapters than I did in a year of college chemistry. Highly recommended.
