   ML>the most part... a temperature of 103F will do that to you :(   
      
     You take care of yourself FIRST...the BBS can WAIT.   
      
     The same applies here when I have thunderstorms. Sunday afternoon and   
   evening, there were numerous reports of hail (some to baseball size), damaging   
   winds (some to 80 mph), and tornadoes. The sirens went off here twice. Our   
   main tornado season in Arkansas is March through May, and at one time,   
   Arkansas was ranked number one in the number of "killer tornadoes" (a tornado   
   that kills at least one person).   
      
     All the surge protection in the world won't protect you from a direct or   
   very close lightning strike. I'd rather be offline a few hours or days, rather   
   than permanently.
