Yet again, I’m absent for a little while, thanks to a full writing workload and a full-time week of dayjobbing (an unhappy combination, frankly).

In other news, my coffee consumption has never been healthier. That’s healthy in the volumetric sense, not the My Body Is A Temple variety.

If you came here to read something and now feel cheated, how about this post on lightning I’ve written elsewhere?

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

- Lee Trevino

A note on the piccy, the stunning work of OneEighteen – it’s a “bolt from the blue”, one of the most dangerous forms of lightning there is.
