  • Down For Storms

    From Daryl Stout@VERT/TBOLT to All on Mon Sep 27 09:25:00 2021
    Just a note that thunderstorms are likely across Arkansas from
    late Tuesday into Friday. So, I may not do any mail runs for a few
    days. I will poll for back mail once the weather calms down. We
    do need the rain, though.

    ... Out of my mind. Be back in five minutes.

    No amount of surge protection will stop damage from a lightning strike.
    I'd rather be offline a few hours or days, rather than permanently.
    Considering I'm a 2 time lightning strike survivor myself (indirect,
    but I still got the shock and nervous system damage as a result), I don't
    want the third time to be the charm.

    There was a park ranger in Montana or Wyoming, who got dubbed "the
    human lightning rod", as he had been struck seven times!! Tragically,
    he eventually committed suicide.

    he probably was a crazy person like you.

    Jay,

    "I'm a lightning strike survivor, see?" *puts light bulb in mouth & it lights up*

    As klutzy as I am, I'm not going to take the chance. Before my wife died,
    she got me a T-Shirt with the following:

    Front: WARNING!! KLUTZ ON THE LOOSE!!
    Back: DANGER!! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!

    Her response?? "That's him". Nice to have the spouse so supportive. <G>

    I heard one yesterday by female Christian comedian Chonda Pierce (she
    lost her husband of 31 years to a stroke several years ago). She said that
    they were talking about "being a stud muffin at 50"...and she quipped "at
    that age and above, it's more muffin than stud"...I can relate. <BG>

    ... Being struck by lightning is a shocking experience!

    Chain Lightning...for when you can't stop with one bolt.

    Before my wife died 14 1/2 years ago, she had a T-shirt made for me:

    Front: WARNING!! KLUTZ ON THE LOOSE!!
    Back: DANGER!! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!

    Her response?? "That's him". Nice to have the spouse so supportive. <G>
