This is why we can't have nice plants

This is not snow, but hail. There was wind swirling, and lighting blasting very close by. I'm waiting for locusts next. We have no garden left - no tomatoes, no flowers, pretty near no leaves.

Date: 2013-09-10 02:01 am (UTC)Five hours later and there's still a lot of hail on the grass. There were helicopters and local newsmen out here filming it all.

Date: 2013-09-10 03:15 am (UTC)But, er, do you mind if I drive over and roll around in your hail? I was so freaking hot today in Kansas that I wanted to crawl into a freezer and not come out until I was blue.

Date: 2013-09-14 03:33 am (UTC)I love that manga! I should probably feel naughty for shipping canon Soubi/Ritsuka, but I don't because they're just so much ♥! And pain! SO MUCH PAIN! But the good kind of pain! (And Kio! I ♥ Kio, too! And the Zeroes!)
Have you watched the anime yet? (Not that you've had time or anything lately... Heh. But at least you got to sleep! \o/) Let me know if you need them. I think I still have them on my external drive, but I also have the DVDs I can send you. :)
Looking at the pics of Boulder and your area was eerily reminiscent of Sandy, but at least it didn't go on for DAYS! And we didn't have hail either as a precursor! (But man, they JUST rebuilt the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ, and it all went up in flames yesterday. Whoops?)

Date: 2013-09-14 08:08 pm (UTC)I did already watch the anime last week before things got crazy. And I've read all the published manga plus the scanlations of the most recent chapters. Did I mention I am hooked? This is what it looks like.
You wouldn't happen to have the first little story about Soubi going to Comiket with his mangaka friend? Or the novel where we find out who Ritsuka's true fighter is? Or links?
