Lately there have been a few thunder storms here.  I mean, we don’t get thunder storms like they do in the tropics, but we sometimes get the odd bit.  Last week for example it dropped a ton of rain in hardly any time at all, with the traditional sound and vision alongside.  Today there was more thunder (though no rain, oddly).  

I was still shocked though to see this story.  16 Cows died at once in a lightning strike, carried across their field by the puddle they were stood in.  Poor cows.  Not told of the dangers of sheltering under a tree in a storm, it would seem.

Not that it’s any safer in the traditional human domicide, it would seem.

Who would have thought that watching the last episodes of Doctor Who and the last episodes of the House series on the same day would be such a draining experience. Damn those emotional series finales! Both were amazingly good programming. ooer.
