This was unreal

I was sitting out on the balcony early in the morning with my cup of tea. Everything was going on as you would have expected. The sky was getting brighter, the school buses came by, cars started plying and then boom!.. something very strange happened. There was a glow of orange all around. The sky became overcast and turned more and more orange by the minute. The picture here does not do justice to how it felt. It was like the whole world was lit by a huge orange halogen lamp.

And then just as suddenly, the thunderstorms rolled in. The sky got dark quickly and your run of the mill mid summer Atlanta heavy rainfall with rolling thunders ensued!

This is a bit “Hanoi”ing

My letter to my pen friend Sinje was to go from Atlanta to her home in Switzerland. Do not know how the letter managed to get itself sent to Ho Chi Minh City first!!!

And why do they have a standardized stamp for “Missent to Ho Chi Minh City?” How often do they do that?

Ah, well! I guess let “Saigons be Saigons.” At least the letter reached her!
