in other news, talked the wx service into hosting one of my videos as a supplement to their National Lightning Safety and Awareness Week website presentation. didn't think they would go for it but they loved the idea. first video to ever be put on the NWSILX site!

You have such an artistic knack, evident by the pics I've seen on your website...and you capture and share God's great artistic talent in such a wonderful way.

Thanks for that!
