lightning and pools.. arrrrrrgggh!

ok, this is the second time in the past two weeks I've not been able to go swim due to thunderstorm activity. Now don't get me wrong.. I LOOOOOVE Thunderstorms, but not being able to swim when you've looked forward to doing so since the previous evening is just no fun at all. :mad: I was literally out the building and on my way to the Y when an clap of thunder abruptly stopped me in my tracks.. I just turned right around and went back into the building. (and onto the discussion boards of course! lol) Anyone else go to indoor pools that close during storms? In Oklahoma during spring and early summer it sometimes ends up being like a hail mary to decide to go to practice in hopes that there won't be a storm.:rolleyes:

    News Flash: The NFL said yesterday that they are suggesting players wear knee, hip and other pads to "protect themselves from injury". Helmets and shoulder pads are mandatory. They are going to "try" this out for preseason games and summer practice... I wonder if they will have lightning rods on those helmets.. They have gotten that far in 2010... they are just figuring out that they can get hurt hitting each other.. Maybe we should try introducing full contact swimming. Or cage swimming. Get some blood in the pool and we could be the next million-dollar franchise sport!
