This afternoon, Ted and I went to a theater in St. Louis County to see Generation Wealth, a just-released movie. I’d give it three stars out of five. Mostly, it made me sad because the people featured in the movie seemed to have no feelings of self-worth, so they tried to validate themselves with lots of money and conspicuous consumption. I’m much happier than any of them seemed to be.
The more interesting parts of the afternoon (for me) were the Goodyear blimp and the thunderstorms. The 100th PGA Championship tournament is in St. Louis at the Bellerive Country Club this week. Not only has traffic been heavy all week, but the Goodyear blimp is in town to provide all the aerial shots of the action.
See all those building cumulus clouds? It’s almost time to get off the golf course and to bring down the blimp to avoid the heat-induced thunderstorms that are brewing.
We had to drive through some heavy thunderstorms on our way home from the movie.
There’s a bridge just ahead, but the rain is so heavy, you can’t see it. Ted is driving at creeping speed.
We had to get this close to the bridge to see it. On a clear day, it’s visible for several miles on the highway.
More thunderstorms are developing in every direction.
There was lots of rain and thunder all around us all the way home from the movie, but Ted is watering our new trees as I write this, because we didn’t get enough rain at our house to cover the bottom of the rain gauge. Go figure!
