What NOT to be doing when lightning hits close....
1. Be sitting on the throne deep in thought.<br> It makes various abdominal muscles do strange things.<br>2. Have your head buried up inside a piece of equipment tweeking a PITA circuit card.<br> It makes your head and hands leak red stuff that's hard to clean up.<br><br>stillshakingbutquitbleedingShortround out

Standing on the hi-dive board cleaning a pool next to a golf course?<br>(Think long aluminum pool in hand that is half submerged in water while standing on the tallest platform within several hundred feet in an electrical storm)<br><br>

Standing on top of those tall metal power poles holding up both hands and yelling at the top of your lungs for the lightning to come and get you...
