Crazy Weather

Originally uploaded by Chester Bullock

I was at Dairy Queen earlier this summer, getting ice cream with the kids. I didn’t have my camera with me. So naturally the weather did something fantastic. As you can see in this terrible cellphone photo, a massive thunderhead bloomed to the east of us (always the case, Aurora gets rain, Lakewood gets nothing). The Dairy Queen is situated right across the street from an old bank building. Not sure when it was built, but I am thinking 70’s because it is round and unusual. The way the cloud was forming, it looked like it was boiling over from within the building, almost like a nuclear cooling tower or something. It was awesome to see in person. Would have been great to have had my “real” camera with me. But I didn’t. Drat. So much for my Boy Scout past – I clearly wasn’t prepared.
