Understand... I hope all goes well for her and for you.

Yes, same here... if it's not been raining with thunder and lightening, it's
just darm humid :(   IIRC, we had a day or so of sun (worked in my garden those
days), but the rest were not so nice.

Yeah, nothing to mess with :(  I haven't seen any strikes so close to scare me
yet here in Central NY. That's something I don't care for :) ... Once, when I
was about 13, living in South Eastern NY, we had a lightening bolt blast right
through an open kitchen window straight past me to the wide open back door.
Almost scared the pants off me!

Take care,
Janis
