Statistics tell us that men are struck by lightning more often than women. Why is that, you ask? Is it because they're taller? Nope. Is it because they work outdoors more often? Negative. It's because they do silly things like change floodlight bulbs in the rain on a metal ladder in the middle of a lightning storm, as witnessed on my way home from work this afternoon. I was passing an oil change business and had to look twice. What made it worse was there were two men, one holding the ladder and one on it. Apparently they absolutely had to change that bulb right then and there, even though it's light out until 9:00 in the summer, and they're not open at night. Who am I to judge?
Noteworthy event from this week: the green jeep from Utah that ran the red light and cut me off, then asked me directions. C'mon, people. Do you forget how to drive when you cross over the bridge? Experience tells me the answer to that question is a big, resounding YES.
