Could have used a kayak yesterday. We had a temperature of 62 deg and a
spring-like deluge with all the trimmings! WA was knocked off the air by a
power outage and a house in town was even damaged by lightening. This is the
yearly President's birthday week, and with the schools off, a good many of
the kids must have been skiing at the local slopes. Can't imagine being on a
chair-lift with lightening arriving! Those pointed aluminum poles must make
a perfect target.
