alexpgpI am condemned, it seems, to live with a dog that has her own internal alarm clock set to 6:15 am, 7 days per week.
I type that with a smile on my lips, since I am truly not a big fan of sleeping in just for the heck of it. I got up with a smile on my face and bounce to my step. The night was not completely peaceful. After another hot day, the bedroom was pretty stuffy, so I cracked a window open before hitting the rack. Around about midnight, by the clock, a tremendous gust of wind came by and turned the room I was in into a large whistle, waking me and everyone else up. It was an exciting moment or two, let me tell you.
So here I am, at my work place, ready to take on the last 13 pages of a document that has taught me quite a bit about lightning protection, if you include the Web research I did to understand more of what was being discussed.
One thing I hadn't known - or was confused about - is that lightning comes in two flavors: descending and ascending. Furthermore, both kinds of lightning may be of a positive or negative polarity, which has to do with which direction the electrons are flowing. And so on...
A quick examination of the day's work shows that a little over 5 pages are occupied by figures or whitespace, so I "really" only have 8 pages left to do, and at an hour a page, well... you get the idea.
Enough lallygagging. To work! ...go!
Cheers...
