We had a somewhat similar experience last evening, although without some of the exotic scenery. My wife and I decided to have dinner at a steak restaurant where you pick and grill your own steak. It's an hour 's drive south through cornfields with a small town here and there, then two Coronas and it's fun to just stand around the grill and catch up on the day's events. It was a perfectly beautiful evening, with just a few fluffy white clouds, temp in the 70's and no traffic on our favorite two-lane road. About half way through grilling the second side of our fillets, my wife looked out and said, "It's RAINING!!!" I ran out with the intention of putting up the top but it was too late. This rain cloud came out of nowhere and blew away after about ten minutes. We finished a leisurely dinner and went out to assess the situation. It was no big deal anyway: a warm evening, the car's plastic and I'd parked under a tree so the seats were barely damp. We decided we'd rather drive home in a wet Cobra than a dry anything else, anyway. We had dry roads and clear skies all the way home.

Life is grand and I too have a family who understands the higher purpose of dinosaurs.
