Sorry for the lack of blog posts. We’ve been out and about in Denver, and Flickr’s moblogging service is broken, so cell-phone photo blogging isn’t working. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the last couple of days:

Barry Bonds hit his 754th home run yesterday, so he’s now potentially one swing of the bat away from tying Hank Aaron. He says the magnitude of the chase is finally “sinking in.” The Giants host the Marlins tonight at 9:05 PM EDT.

Here are a couple of photos (actually video still frames) from Friday’s huge thunderstorm in downtown Denver:

And here’s a video clip of Kristy’s rather hilarious reaction to a couple of the lightning strikes. (This the inspiration for the silly post title.) In the first part of the clip, you see the lightning and hear Kristy scream; what you don’t see is that she jumped so high, she actually hurdled over the couch before landing where you see her on the floor. The second part shows her reaction to another lightning strike, a few minutes later.

Heh.

On a far more somber note, a jogger was struck and killed by lightning during the storm.

After the jump, an animated GIF of the radar showing the storm forming and rolling through downtown.
