For the second year in a row a summer lightning and hailstorm has given us a bonus of sorts: 

...a large tree limb crashing down on our driveway.

... and this time again fortunately with no car underneath.

Definitely a change of luck for the best.

Also I had to walk home in the rain which was ok enough as I had a decent enough jacket, but it was black.  I had thought to attach one of my new mini-LED flashlights for $3 earlier in the day to my backpack strap as a handy grab and go with velcro.  Was a very wise move as I used it twice to signal cars that I'm sure at least one of them didn't even see me as she turned left with her young son in passenger seat from Lancaster to Weber - glad at least I made eye contact with them and I was able to scoot back out of the way. 

I know I've been laughed at for how cautious I can be about safety but I'm sure when it comes down to it I think drivers can appreciate my efforts to make sure I don't become a hood ornament.

EDIT - I added a picture, upon further review this branch is much smaller than last year's but still large enough.
