Hit by Lightning: Tales From Survivors
Florida has more lightning strikes and fatalities than any other state. Four tales of survivors with disparate stories that all began with a bolt from the blue.I am lighting aware.
I do not love Florida.

A thank-you note from one New Yorker to a stranger.New York City is a community.
There is no nobility.

A 9-Year-Old Tripped, Fell and Discovered a Million-Year-Old Fossil
Jude Sparks was playing with his brothers in New Mexico when he stumbled over the fossilized tusk of a Stegomastodon, a prehistoric, elephantine creature.More could be known.
The deposit it was found in has a date and a climate.
More people should understand the slow processes of geology and climate.
Petrified wood needs explanation.

As Workouts Intensify, a Harmful Side Effect Grows More Common
Newbies to spin classes can land in the emergency room, as doctors say they are seeing more of the rare but dangerous rhabdomyolysis.Panic training is a problem. It is not a solution.
Taper into training and out of training.

Dog Rescues a Drowning Deer and Becomes a Social Media Hero
A video showed a yellow Labrador retrieving a deer from the water. Was it instinct or something else?Storm's behavior is in his breeding.
There have been many dead siblings in his ancestry.
Deer are lovely when they are not eating my plantings.
Mostly they are food that can run.
They support an ecology of problems for human populations.

Stay Safe Out There
Here’s what to do when lightning and thunder are in the air.A sailboat with metal standing rigging is about as safe an open structure as is possible.

The Right and Left React to Russia, Health Care and More
Read about how the other side thinks: Writers from across the political spectrum on how well government is working and the news of the week.The failure to think is excessively general.
"I am not a member of any organized political party.
I am a Democrat."

When You Know It’s Love: Our Readers Let Us Know
We asked our readers to describe how they first knew that they had fallen in love. Here’s what they shared.I asked myself if I was going to get a better offer.
My conclusion was there was no better offer to be had.
Sooner is better. As soon as you can is best.

An Experiment in Zurich Brings Us Nearer to a Black Hole’s Mysteries
IBM researchers used an exotic material known as a Weyl semimetal to confirm the existence of a gravitational anomaly predicted in equations that describe the universe.I see the contention of the authors.
I am unconvinced.
I will try to take it up with my non matriculating seminar.

The Upshot
Why Trump’s Base of Support May Be Smaller Than It Seems
His approval rating remains strong among self-described Republicans, but a new paper suggests the number of such people could be shrinking.Politics is an old art and a new "science".
I know some history but much less than I should.
What I know is not from primary sources.
Others, both amateur and professional
have mined the "record".
The entertainment value
has been much higher than the instructional value.
