PSA
VERY IMPORTANT TO READ FOR THOSE WHO TAKE MEDICATIONS
Especially as we age!!
MEDICINE-MIXING ALERT
Most people know not to mix certain medicines without consulting their doctors. Some medicines cannot be mixed with certain foods…and certainly most of us know not to mix certain medicines with alcohol…although, some people think that mixing alcohol and medicine is harmless.
As a public service the AMA and Health Canada have recently published a new warning being distributed via pamphlets in pharmacies across the U.S. and Canada .
Attached is the cover jacket of the pamphlet:
PSA for Golfers
Always be on the look out for lightning storms while playing golf.
I DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT
ON URBAN LEGENDS OR SNOPESA man got hit by lightning Monday morning on a golf course in Madison, WI . The following are pics
of what was left of his bag. Please pass this along to your golfing buddies. Read what the policeman
says, then take a look at the pictures.
I have been a police officer for 18 yrs and have seen a lot of gruesome and disturbing scenes (if you
can imagine it, I have probably seen a variation of it) … this one was different because it hits close to
home and some of us have been in this situation.
This 75 year old golfer (no pictures of him) was out on the course with 3 other retired guys for a
regular weekly tee time, and the weather forecast didn’t even predict rain at 10pm the night before.
They teed off and got around to the back nine when it started to rain, and when there was a little
lightning way off in the distance so they headed in. They waited under a tree half way in when the rain
became very heavy. When it let up a little bit three of them then continued in but one guy decided to
wait it out under a 50′ pine with an overhang of 10′ while standing next to his bag. Minutes later a
lightning bolt struck his bag and push cart as he was holding onto one of his clubs killing him
instantly.
On the top of the first photo you will see what was left of his driver … also in a later photo are little
brown clumps which used to be golf balls.
Most of the items in the bag simply disintegrated from the heat and intense initial zap – including the
labels to his ping irons and Cleveland woods (which all popped off). The electricity burned holes into
the bottoms of the clubs.
The strange thing is the tree under which he was standing had no sign of a lightning strike. The bolt
literally went sideways under the tree to the golf clubs.
Lesson to be learned – If you are caught out on the course or water … distance yourself
from anything metal OR graphite.
(Did you know that lightning rods are often made of graphite?)
Put your cart 50′ away from you! When you see lightning off in the distance
GO IN IMMEDIATELY, DON’T WAIT.
Could it be this simple?
I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT I WILL TRY IT NEXT TIME I HAVE THE CHANCE. –
——-GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR
How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. I can vouch for this!!
We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily..
This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it.It is useful….even driving at night.
Most of the motorists would turn on HIGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers
during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windscreen is still bad……..
In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle!
All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windscreen is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.
Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not
only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save
your friend’s life by giving him this idea..Try it yourself and share it with your friends!
