Give up my iPod or my pacemaker? I’d have to think about that one for a while. I mean, I need my iPod.

Two summers ago one afternoon, I was walking my dog on a trail in an open field listening to music on my iPod as storm clouds gathered above. I saw lightning in the distance as the storms approached. Suddenly, a bright flash and loud crash very near to me sent my heart racing uncontrollably to the extent that I almost passed out as I fell to my knees. After a few moments I recovered, got up, turned off and pocketed my iPod, and headed for home - slowly, because my heart was still pounding. Another iPod/weather-related incident happened recently here in Colorado. A guy was mowing his lawn and listening to his iPod when a lightning strike sent him to the hospital. Anyway, I can't be sure if iPods attract lightning but I no longer bring my iPod with me on walks. I'd rather just hear nature's music and be thankful for every opportunity I can get some fresh air.
