More blogger blabber...
Strong storms again tonight. Another tornado warning of an unconfirmed twister to the south of us, and sirens went off in our town too... 60 mile/hour wind gusts. We were standing out on the porch when those hit, Hubby rushed me back inside. He was watching rotations in sky the whole time, naturally the satellite went out so we lost the newscast. Other than that, just rain... lots and lots of rain.
Speaking of sirens... when I first moved to a small town (pop 119) in rural Kansas, it was noon on a sunny day when all of a sudden the town siren went off. It was almost right behind my house, so needless to say it was LOUD. I was like, What the hell? looking out the window. Clear sky, not a cloud. So later that day I was in the local store and asked about it... turns out they ran the siren EVERY DAY AT NOON to tell the farmers out in the fields that it was lunchtime, haha. And sure enough they did...
It was the year 2000, and I was thinking "Don't these farmers own a watch?" haha Heck even in rural Kansas I'll bet the farmers carry cellphones now...
And as a joke Hubby & I asked each other, What if a tornado hit at noon? Would the farmers just stop and eat their lunch? haha
Okay, enough wine for tonight...
Mo' money...
Christmas in the mailbox again... turns out the Pell grant is paying for my Summer term. Yay!
Thank goodness

thats a silly question now about tornadoes sirens going off at noon while the farmers were eating their lunches and a real tornado was coming, they would get blown away while eating their bologna sandwiches and 'bread pudding'....................gotcha there.

Very funny jaydee... hope you're doing well buddy.
I'm doing pretty well WT, it was a year ago today that Mildred was taken to the Hospital for the last time. She passed away on 4/29, finally free from painand suffering. Its been a long rough year, but I just gotta keep moving.
Many thanks to mine and Mildred's Oaklawn Friends and my WebMd BC Friend to Friends and my family I have survived. I had a nice long phone conversation with Warlock yesterday, I was driving nearly 425 miles to near Little Rock(Carlisle) for my son and we talked for 20 minutes. He's healing from his leg sore problems and of course we talked about you and the ladies and gents at Oaklawn. Take care now and have a great week, stay safe from the storms, its Texas in the Summer you know.
