Lightning Strikes Posted July 18, 2004 at 12:00 am

A relaxed morning with sausage biscuits for breakfast; Kingdom Hearts and Cribbage for mid-morning activities. It was another short, but enjoyable stay at the Roberts’ house.

Scattered thunderstorms didn’t greatly hinder my travel plans. I made my grandparents’ house my first stop after I got back to Dothan. Their water line, air conditioner, garage door opener, television, VCR, telephone, and porch light were all destroyed by one lightning strike to a nearby tree last Thursday. A house on Lucy Lane less than 100 yards away from our own got it $140,000 worse.
