And so on...

We had a monster of a hailstorm today. What was shocking was not so much its intensity, but its speed. The clouds overtook us in about twenty minutes, the rain came in a visible sheet, and progressed from rain to pea-sized hail to half-dollar-sized hail in a couple of minutes. After a few more minutes, it was gone. Now it looks like a green Autumn outside, with a coating of hail mixed in. I'd noticed that the clouds were moving very quickly, but I never expected such a storm.
In other news, in that Pepsi "Transform your Summer" promotion, I won two sets of DVDs. There are only two problems: first, they're the same set; and second, I didn't enter for them. I entered for the Pepsi Optimus Prime, which had fewer people vying for it. Their good DVDs--School of Rock, Orange County, The Italian Job, Sahara, and Tomb Raider--but I really wanted that Pepsi Convoy. So, I'm selling the other set. It's unopened, and I'll even throw in the congratulation notice so that you can act like you won it. Big Bad Toy Store is offering Pepsi Prime for about $60 (including shipping), so it would be nice if I got at least that for these (and $10.20 for an good, unopened DVD isn't that bad, is it?).
