One more thing about our trip last week

Tuesday, 26 January 2010

My wife notes that, yes, our plane from Dallas-Fort Worth to SFO got hit by lightning. Yes, we were descending through a dark gray mass of cloud, already a bit on edge, and suddenly a golden ball of brightness exploded just off the right wing (that is to say, like, 30 meters directly out my window) and there was a sound like a gunshot. It could never happen to me again, and I’d be pretty cool with that.
