Did you record that?

I don't like lightening. Mrs.E. thinks it's cool, but having worked
around high voltage for many years and being seriously zapped a couple
of times, I head for the innermost part of the house when it's around.

Smart man. I used to sit out on my porch and watch the storms come
rolling in, until a bolt hit a tree about 20' away. Now, I head inside.
Something about where I live, my property averages about 1 lightning
strike a year, but at least I've never been hit, unlike this poor guy.

Saw him once recount the times he was hit. On Johnny Carson, I think.
He seemed to take it in stride. The older I get, the farther away
from it I get.
