I don’t think anyone was dumb.. they didn’t know what they didn’t know. It comes from those hot summer nights when there are popup thunderstorms. They would see lightning flashes from off in the distance and couldn’t see or didn’t know there was a thunderstorm that far off. Not dumb at all..

We can pull up a radar and see where storms are relative to our location, they couldn’t. How would you explain lightning flashes on a clear summer night when you didn’t see a thunderstorm in sight, smart guy?

I can remember when I was a little lad we didn’t have much. Sitting outside in those early 80s folding chairs in the carport watching a good thunderstorm with some lightning. The smell of the rain and the little cool breezes that would come through. Didn’t mean a thing then but the memories mean everything now.
