[BC] Near death experience

[Mike McCarthy]

I've heard that story before from others who have experienced the same 
thing...or a variation of it at places which had stainless steel 
facilities.  You just don't "go" during weather at those places...

Another was a guy taking a leak not far from a power 
transformer.  Well...you guessed it.  The X-former had some leakage to 
ground and it came up and bit him in the....well...through the very mineral 
rich stream.

I look at my experience and say...I guess mine wasn't that bad after all...
