Dinner Before the Rain

We planned a nice dinner with Lynn and Logan on the roof of the Lenny, a new restaurant downtown. It over looks the ball park where there was some kind of player showcase going on. The weather was nice when we sat down. We ordered too much food. We liked the fried artichoke and the flat bread the most. The portions are very large and the prices aren’t bad.

As we were enjoying our dinner looking west we could see a huge storm off in the distance. It was fairly slow moving. We were able to enjoy almost our dinner when suddenly the temperature dropped a good ten degrees in about ten seconds. The wind at our eleventh floor elevation picked up fast, scattering some of our food across the terrace.

Our first thought was for our skittish dogs at our respective homes. Shay would be nervous, but Annie Toms has been known to tear up expensive furniture, so we rushed out.

Just as I was driving us out of the parking garage the rain started. Drop drop then immediate sheets. Since everything is already saturated from last weeks deluge the water was just rushing to the low places. We are lucky we got home when we did before all routes home became impassible. Going to rain for the next three days.
