Isn't life a wonder......ful of wonders. To think life can be gone in a matter of seconds! You can always replace a water pump or a pool cleaning pump, but to replace a strong, handsome, intelligent and ethical man and woman is not possible. I do not even like to think of the thought! Please be careful. Do you need extra money to purchase a lightning rod? Do people in Iowa use the lightning rod attached to the top of their houses/roofs since there are so many lightning storms? Please check them out from your local weather station and learn what is the best to use to act as a conduit for the lightning to hit versus starting a fire.
