It’s Friday and that means time to chill in the Zen Den. 

This California heat has us quenching for a nice summer storm. Come with us as a thundering storm softly rumbles its way across the Grand Canyon. 

Fun Fact: “According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service, approximately 1,800 thunderstorms are occurring at any given time, resulting in about 16-million thunderstorms each year. Most thunderstorms last about 30 minutes and are typically about 15 miles (24 km) in­ diameter… The two most basic elements that cause a thunderstorm to develop are moisture and rapidly rising warm air. Because moisture and warmth are crucial to thunderstorms, it makes sense that they would occur more often in the spring and summer, particularly in humid areas such as the southeastern United States. “ 

Hence “Summer Storms.” Sit back, relax, and let the weekend roll in. Laissez le weekend rouler.”
