Party Like It's 1985

I have written about my having made peace with the Royals, despite their insistance on keeping the World Series trophy from '85.

The Wind Kicked Up Just a Bit

OK, so we had a little tornado here yesterday. That's a line you don't write everyday.

Everything's alright here where I live - some decent-sized limbs came down, but that's OK, I'll cut them up for the fire this winter.

Just across the street a pine tree was toppled over, the roots exposed. A couple of blocks away a park where my son likes to hit tennis balls got some damage.

And out on the bypass a store's roof caved in. Nobody hurt, thankfully. Maybe I'll get some photos posted tomorrow.

The good news is that this was not one of those salmonella-tainted tornadoes we've been hearing so much about.

Incidentally, Taylor's blog is worth checking on a regular basis.
