E(lectric)-Mail Box

Here are the pictures of our mailbox that was struck by lighting a few weeks ago.

This is the hole that was blown out the side of the mailbox. The last number looks like it used to be a 7, but it was a 3. That's just the path of the bolt. It melted the decal.

The force of the bolt ripped the mailbox off the newspaper holder and flaked off most of the paint inside the paper slot.

You can see the blue streak on the top of the mailbox and it's path down to the last number. I want to keep this mailbox...any ideas how I can use it?

"A Tradition Unlike Any Other..."

Now that basketball season is over, I can turn my sporting attention towards the Green Heaven of Augusta National and the rest of the golf majors this Summer (I haven't forgotten about the St. Louis Cardinals, but I won't really start watching baseball until after Derby...just usually how it works out).

The Masters starts tomorrow and I'm ready for it. I haven't thought much about it up until now because of Kentucky Basketball going to the Final Four this year. I turned on the TV last night looking for Live from the Masters on the Golf Channel (which is now an HD Channel...yippee!) and watched that for awhile. I then went online to see what has been happening on the PGA and European Tours this year. I knew Phil Mickelson won this past weekend, but that's all I had really heard or remembered. I also heard Lee Westwoods plan had to make an emergency landing due to smoke in the cockpit, but that it was just Darren Clarke's cigar. Now that the temperature is warming again and I have a general feel for what is happening in the golf world, I am very excited to watch some golf this week. My DVR is set and I can already hear the The Masters music along with the piped-in bird songs they use on broadcasts (not to be confused with The Byrds songs). I will post my predictions later today.
