Tornado

Last week, I went through a blizzard. Today, we had some more fun, a
tornado touched down a little bit (less than a quarter of a mile) north
of me. The ironic thing is that yesterday was the state-wide tornado
drill. Spent a half an hour in the basement where I work. Today, as
the fence behind me blew down, I bailed out of the hotel room (second
floor of a two story building) and ran across the parking lot to the
hotel lobby. The room I was in was shaking too much.
Get me THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!

That's what I said every day I woke up in Dodge City. But when I went to
Kansas I had no concept of living on the plains, You've been there before
and still you wanted to go back.. I trust when you buy your new home, it
will have a basement?

Full walkout basement for Brenda's quilting studio and a place where I
can put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.
We still on for Saturday evening on the 8th? Just firmed up my
schedule today.

We're on. Tell me what you won't eat and which flavor malt. I'll drop
directions in an email. I assume you'll be coming in from I-70?

Hmm, not much that I won't eat. After all day in the car with the dog
and cat, I may be ready to BBQ them. I'll bring some Yuengling.
I -70 it is.
Cheers.

Tie onto something big, Frank. I *hate* tornados.

I spent the first 15 years of my life in the mid-west ( Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa .. we moved a lot, one of the reasons I grew up non-social )
and my most vivid childhood memories are all about the weather

My family lost 2 cars to trees falling on them, I came home from school to
find the TV exploded all over the living room from a lightning strike, the
hours spent each year in the basement with the adults trying to seem calm,
and, oh yeah the twister that took the roof off the place next door, but
barely scratched our house. That house had a detached garage on the alley
and the house roof was dropped arched over it like a second roof, I can
still see it in my mind.


Get one of those weather alert monitor deals and keep it turned on.

Well, we're getting ready for round two. Look at the size of this band
of storms coming in.

Weather is a wonderful thing. I grew up in Los Angeles and we didn't
have any weather there (big storm would drop a quarter of an inch).

Yikes! Duck and cover!

I've heard it said that the difference between southern California and here
(wherever here may be) is that THEY have a climate.....WE have weather.


Wolfgang
who thinks that a bit of climate now and then must be a very nice thing.

Yes, and right now, I'm thinkin' a bit of global climate change might
not be a bad thing. 'Specially if it occurs in the next hour or so.
