Imagination Is Funny...

So...in the recently remade film "War of the Worlds", the first sign of trouble with the aliens first appears in lightning without thunder, as the alien craft are embedded in the ground, shortly to emerge. Last night as the rain blew out to sea, there were several flashes of lightning with no thunder. Don't be silly, I assured myself, the actual lightning strike was just too far away for you to hear the thunder.

So how...funny...that this morning, I should discover this place where the ground has begun to heave up in the backyard. It's just the sloppy end of a chipmunk tunnel, I'm sure...right?!  

I won't start worrying 'til I see the Red Weed begin to march.
