Jiggity Jog

We drove home last night in some of the nastiest weather I've seen. The storm started just as we left Topeka and we stayed in the leading edge of the system all the way down. In Independence, Kansas, it looked like we had managed to outrun it, but I had to make a pit stop and by the time I got back to the car it was bucketing down again.  
 
I got so tired of it. It was scary in places, so I had to slow way down, but what really bothered me was the isolation. With that much rain, there was no visibility, so the only thing letting me know we were still on Earth was the faint ghosts of the lines on the road.
