You know what they say about Heaven, the feng shui is never quite right. As religion rides off into the sunset (great pic by the way), I wonder if Grannys now tell children thunder is the soundof the ozone layer being ripped open by an SUV. Looking forward to reading the entire kit and caboodle.

Vivid scene, Martine. And now I'm wondering who'd put traps in Matt's yard.

Love the snippet!

I have a healthy respect for lightning. I've been in a house and an airplane that were struck by lightning, and I've seen it dance along the ground not more than 20 yards in front of me. I just hope its aim doesn't improve.
