Way Too Close To Lightning

bareboards2 says...

Meh.

I was hiking by myself at about 8000 feet and I saw the lightning strike the ground, in an open meadow, less than 100 feet away from me.

Still makes my stomach knot at the memory and it was 25 years ago.

Oh dear. I knew you were halfway around the world! I am starting that slide into death called being over 65 and I am forgetting all sorts of things now. (I had to stare at my slippers for a full 90 seconds before I could remember the word. I knew they went on my feet though. Not that far gone yet.)

So yeah. Summer. We do something similar in about six months -- except it is light at 5 am and the sun sets about 9:45 pm. And never gets to 111.

I have been reading about your climate crisis challenges. My heart is breaking for you all.

There are few parts of the globe further from me than the Pacific North Wet

It was 44.1°C (111.4°F) here yesterday at 6pm and sunset wasn't until 8:42pm. Sunrise was at 5:55am.

But anyway, happy return of the light We have an excess, I'm willing to share.

Oh my lovely friend! I am so glad to hear from you!

And look at you. Being creative still. You amaze me.

I do miss you. Even though I am not on the sift that much.

I have. He is currently trying to build a wooden frame to convert a road bike to an indoor bike, utilizing old Rollerblade wheels and two by fours. I made some changes to the profile to bring back some memories of the good ol' days.

Hey Meatbag! Thanks for the power points. I shall attempt to use them wisely.

You are a kind and generous person, who ere you are.

You just received a gift of 6 Power Points from an anonymous meatbag. Spend them well, and make your generous benefactor proud.
