Quick update.  I am in Southpark, PA this weekend for the Stars and Stripes National.  Get into practice when it starts raining pretty bad.  Hanging out under a tent when Todd Tesar and Cole pull up with their Minivan signialing me over so we can jet to the hotel.  I start heading over when a lightning bolt strikes a tree that is about 10-15 feet away!  I felt a shock in my right arm and shoulder.  The Tree explodes off into shards that go into the minivan and hit Todd.  The Tree piece falls and hits the Minivan, denting the side of it.  At first I thought the lightning bolt hit my bike.  Talk about a freaky thing.....  Probably the closest I have been to death.  Good story though..
