Aaron,
Larry may also suffer from SKIN CANCER in sunny California. If he waits
another year, the West Nile Virus (which is now working its way Westward)
will be there so watch out for mosquitos!
BTW, I took a vicious direct lightning hit while living in San Jose right
in the middle of the valley around 1968. It's rare but does happen. I lost
lots of gear (and the input coils on my 75A4!).
73,
Joe, W1JR (ex. WA6TGY and W6FZJ)
