While digging up the weep tile and resealing the basement walls and 
adding an inch of Styrofoam I figured it was a good time to shoot a 
photo of the grounds.

Sorry about and mistakes, I broke my glasses this morning and am running 
without.

Is it preferable to run the ground connection between the two along with signal cables?  Or is it better to run the grounding connection not so close to the signal cables?  I've seen people do it both ways, and can see a possible benefit either way, but a lightning strike could throw either idea out the window.
