I guess I could be the first to offer that she was a political lightening rod, but that would be extremely tacky, craven, and in poor taste.

So I guess I won't.

I'd say she became rather disenchanted.

First Joe Biden's house, now this. Think God is trying to tell us something?

Reminds me of Jim Fixx dropping dead while running. Hmm.

"Mary was a warm, wonderful, caring person"

Will NOT joke about her being warmer now. Will not!

"Mary was a warm, wonderful, caring person,"

Very warm, I'd say, after being zotted.

Or the environmentalist lawyer who was recently killed when the tree he tied his hammock to fell and crushed him

Yep, why I'll bet she got a real charge out of her work, creating an atmosphere of electricity wherever she went.

Although a high energy person, she was well grounded in reality.

I'll go hide now...

Too bad. It could happen to anyone.

I've been caught on a summit in a lightening storm, bolts visibly hitting the rocks every couple minutes. Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, and not fun at all.

"Gaea..."

Hah, now that's funny. I'm ashamed to say I laughed.

I think they should name an oil well in her honor.

Given her last name, I suspect the won't name a butte after her.

I am not ashamed at all. If you go out in the woods you are in natures territory, not yours.

I don't know the exact number (or even inexact for that matter) but I have heard that quite a few people are struck by lightning every year.

For instance more people die from lightning than snake bite.

The three hikers were in a stand of trees ...

Not a good shelter in a storm.
