I just read this tragic, tragic story here moments ago. Let this be a lesson: Don't toy with nature.

I been a hnuntin over yonder. Pappy and I was a trying to flush up some coveys of Grouse off them steep ravines just below Baldy near Ashville. Ain't never occurred to me lightening be striking down an smiting the wicked where they stood, particularly in as lovely a spot at that; what with the sweat bees stinging the piss out of ya while the thorns and briars be ripping yer flesh down to the bone every step ya take. Supposin they don't call em the Grapes of Wrath fer nuttin? Yet another Baldy .

That is a very sad story.

Tis sad indeed. But you gotta be brutally honest though: Why the hell are you gonna go mountain climbing in a thunderstorm... With lightning? If they had considered the dangers, they might be engaged right now!
