Beating Ben Franklin by several thousand years

Next stop, Oz.

Keeping things light-ning…….

The caveman trying to invent a giant umbrella? This just goes to prove that no matter how big you make your protection – he still gets rained on!

It’s not always so fun when you’re in the midst of a storm. After this storm passes, he may be able to look back with some “fondness” (?)

Guess Ben Franklin wasn’t the first to discover electricity

Someone picked a bad time to go flying.

I wonder where in BC he’ll go splat. Yip yip yip yip yip

Fascinating, isn’t it? You are watching carbon dioxide being captured, methane being broken down, and upper atmosphere ozone being generated, all at once, while atmospheric coolant is being applied to all surfaces within range of the cloud cover.

Got a few years to spare?Write up a list of things that couldn’t possibly exist during their time era.

Changing his altitude might change his attitude.

Thunderstorms are beautiful to watch – from far away.

Recently, my wife and I sat on the balcony of a condo we rented on the ocean and looked out to sea at night where there was a line of thunderstorms about 25 miles out. We sipped our wine and watched. It was a lot better than what was on TV.

Haha, that was me getting caught in an unpredicted huge hailstorm, no hood, had to rush home and shower, launder shoes and clothes! At least it wasn’t lightening, but man it hurt!

My former dog and I used to go on our front porch and watch storms together. She was a great dog. Most dogs do not like thunder, but I was able to teach my dogs to not be afraid by playing with them during their first few storms and giving extra attention. Since I enjoy them, they didn’t get any fear signals from me.

mite have discovered “hot air” first……

Timing is everything.

Every once in a while, I think I would like to go up in a balloon and then I remember. Nature is a thing. Maybe next year.

This cartoon is Shocking!, Just shocking. The joke is electrifying!

He didn’t discover electricity.

Oy!

Like admiring the magnificence of a Great White shark. From the inside.

“SHOCKING” ……… maybe …… :)

Reminds me of the flying ship in the movie, Stardust, that would fly through thunderstorms to harvest the lightning.

I guess the weather reports weren’t any more reliable back then.

It’s not a storm, it’s just Zeus practicing his free throws

And momentarily, the use of hydrogen was found to be iffy. ’Probably OK on Mars.

Me too, thanks, cute…

Shouda checked that METAR

Good old flying “proverb”: It’s much better to be sitting on the ground wishing you were flying than to be out flying, wishing you were sitting on the ground. :)

We used to sit out on the front porch and watch the storms before there was videos, cable tv, internet and game consoles. Plus, there wasn’t any air conditioning (other than fans) so it was the only entertainment in town, so to speak.

Those 23nd century molecular assemblers come in handy in the far future age.

When I was flying, I had a good technique for flying through thunderstorms: I didn’t.

Aircraft that do that tend to become lightning rods. They don’t always crash, but it usually punches a hole in the nose and knocks out electronics. Also, it’s like taking a ride inside a clothes dryer. Sometimes the aircraft comes back looking like gremlins beat it up with ball peen hammers. Sometimes it doesn’t come back at all.

ANACHRONISM!!!
