houses against strikes or do they attract lightning as is widely belived? Most people are scared of them but it seems like every house in these parts ought to have one if it really works. Does Alan Seales have one on his home?? hmmm

That was an interesting site...I had no idea people still installed lightning protection. Great idea down here, though. I would have liked it if they'd given us some idea of what those systems cost though...I'll bet they're pricey.
