Apparently electrical storms are not common in Britain but tonight we had a storm that would rival the storms on the prairies and the plains. There wasn't much rain but incredible amounts of lightning and thunder. In fact there was so much lightning that all the lights went out in my neighborhood! I was already in bed (and so was mom) but dad was still up. Dad got on the computer (which was on battery power) when there was a knock at the door. One of neighbors from down the straight came to see if we were ok. Dad thinks she came over because she was scared. She said this had never happened in all her years of living in Swansea. When dad told her this happens all the time in America (even in major cities) she was a lot more calm. About an hour later the power came back on so calm returned.
This is a picture of me doing what I do best. Riiiip! I only operate at one speed nowadays; full speed ahead. The other day dad hooked some dental floss up to my little red pickup truck so I could pull my truck up and down the sidewalk. I can't wait to get home and rip around the backyard.
Tomorrow mom and dad return from Prague, Czech Republic, and then we are going to Dublin, Ireland, for the weekend. I can't wait.
