  • I love storms.
    We had a tornado warning last night; I walked to Blikre watching the western skies... hoping to see SOMETHING. I mean, I know I'd be safe in that big, thick Blikre bldg, so if I could catch the tornado before I run for cover... yeah. Awesome sauce. There's an Indian urban legend that a tornado won't touch down in Wahp/Breck due to three rivers meeting here; I don't know if the Native Americans were meteorologists, but I believe in that urban legend. Because it's cool & intriguing.

    Right now, the skies to the south are super blue. Like creepy. And I just looked at the radar - I love checking out maps and doppler radars! - and, yep, major rain/storms south of us in north-eastern South Dakota. I would love if it rained all day and was COOLER outside - like under 80!

    FJ: (b) hashbrowns&eggs w/cheddar + whole wheat bagel w/jam & p.butter + water.

    I'm still reading Chuck, by the way. I've tabbed over many corners in CKiv. Yeah. I used some in my chapter, and now I'm trying to finish off the book... full of interviews. Yum. After that, I'll re-read Carlin and Sedaris with my students (and World Lit pieces with my Engl240 students) while attempting to read... someone new at night before zonking out? I should, and shouldn't, go to Barnes & Noble today. Same goes for the Hobby Lobby (I need thinner hemp string and studs for some booties).
