It's amazing what the "old timers" knew that even todays weather men can't get right. Ever hear the weather man say it's gonna stop raining sometime during the day...and it doesn't? Next time it rains watch the birds, if their out feeding in the rain you can bet it'll rain all day, if their not out it's almost a sure sign it'll quit sometime before the end of the day and then the birds will go out to feed. Anybody ever heard that you shouldn't burn a tree in your fireplace that was killed by lightening? The only reason I can think of they would say this is the majority of lightening strikes are during the summer when the sap is up. If the tree dies full of sap then it's more likely than not gonna snap and pop when burned. In the days before the safety screens, etc I can see where that would have been a problem, but in a wood stove I can't see where if would make a difference. That's my theory behind this one, any other ideas?
