Lighting writes a regular column for the POA newsletter.

Thanks Graciegirl for your continued support. If there are those that would like to learn more about lightning rods, surge protection, personal lightning safety, and debunking of nine myths about lightning see page 49 of the current Lifelong Learning College Catalog.

If you hide in a closet and hope to live a long life, what's the point?

Uhhhhh . . . Is there a real correlation between lightning and motorcycles???

How 'bout a motorcycle with a lightning rod attached?
Or -- how 'bout a motorcycle under a tree on a golf course?
Or -- how 'bout being in a car with steel belted radial tires?

Hmmmmmm . . .

If you go outside during a thunderstorm, get hit by lightning and have to spend the rest of your life confined to a bed, what's the point of that?

Is he associated in any way ($$$) with an industry trade group or other local group of businesses? It certainly sounds like the information he provides is likely to stimulate sales.

Our intent is to educate and as can be seen on this web site there is a need for factual information about lightning living here in the Lightning Capital of the US. We do this as a community service and have no revenue stream from any source. Unlike most instructors at the Lifelong learning College we do not realize any income. The charge for Lightning Tips for Villagers is solely for the rental of the classroom at the high school.

Did you know that you're ten times more likely to be killed riding a moose than you would be feeding a giraffe, so the moral of this entire thread is... When riding a moose, always wear a helmet. And when feeding a giraffe, just shoot it in the head.... I think. I don't know... In fact I don't know what or how this helps anyone in life, but if you have nothing better to do than to sit and read made up statistics all day, you're better off dead. Cause that's where life will bring you very soon anyway. Evenon a motorcycle or getting struck by lightning. Wouldn't it be odd to be struck dead by lightning while on a motorcycle? Weird

I got struck by a golf ball while riding my motorcycle.
