i had to deal with lightning on the ride home last night. i hate lightning. the rational part of my brain knows that i'm FAR more likely to get splattered by an errant motorist on the road than get struck by lightning, but i don't have that primal, irrational fear for cars that i do for lightning. mind you, i have a very healthy respect for cars and the damage they can inflict upon me, but i'm not scared of them on that deep down psychological level like i am with lightning.
