We get some pretty wicked storms in the North East. Nothing like the tornados of the mid-west but pretty potent. A few times in your life you might even witness an electrical storm (where lightning is constantly flashing across the clouds every few miliseconds. It's spectacular.)

But yea, you can tell that people are loving the storm until a strike hits close. Then they are confronted with their mortality and bolt haha.

Breathing is good. Never underestimate it.

Have a nice little road trip. Don't pick up any hitchhikers. Unless he's extremely handsome. That will be me.

Just took a breather.

I'm heading off on a road trip in the morning too. See you in a few days. I want a complete list of all your best one-liners when I get back.

You're welcome. Where you been hiding? Has there been a three-week electrical storm in Indiana?

The Amish use wooden cameras. Now I know why!


Don't be silly. Everyone knows that Amish don't have electrical storms.

Ohhh and I nearly forgot:
See Hindenburg: The Giant Matchstick
The Facts on the Hindenburg Disaster:
1. The bags of hydrogen that provided the lifting force for the Hindenburg were NOT the main contributor to the fire. The surface of the ship was coated with a combination of dark iron oxide and reflective aluminum paint. These components are extremely flammable and burn at a tremendously energetic rate once ignited. The skin of the airship was ignited by electrical discharge from the clouds while docking during an electrical storm. This reaction has been proven chemically for years, and was demonstrated with actual remnants of the Hindenburg sixty years later, which burned as vigorously as on the day of the disaster.
2. The hydrogen burned quickly, safely, above the occupants. When the escaping hydrogen was ignited by the burning skin of the airship, it burned far above the airship, and was completely consumed within 60 seconds of the ignition. During this period of time, the airship descended to the ground from the 150-foot docking tower.
3. Almost all deaths were caused by jumping or falling from the airship. Of the 35 deaths from the disaster, 33 were caused by jumping or falling. Only two deaths were caused by burning, and it is likely that those two were from proximity to the burning skin of the airship, or from the stores of diesel fuel that were ignited by the covering. Whereas the hydrogen burned within one minute of ignition, the diesel fires burned for up to ten hours after the ignition.
4. The Hindenburg would have burned if it had been filled with inert helium gas. Even if the Hindenburg had not been lifted by hydrogen, the ignition of the covering would still have happened, and would then have set ablaze the diesel stores, resulting in the same disaster.
5. The main cause of the disaster was pilot error. The only way to prevent the disaster would have been if the pilot had chosen to land in better conditions elsewhere, which was very feasible, considering he had had enough fuel remaining to reach all the way to California.

From Wikipedia:

"Carl Lewis recorded a single called "Break It Up" in 1987 with his band, 'Carl Lewis and the Electric Storm.' His attempt at a career as a recording artist, however, proved unsuccessful."
