Hey, anytime. :)

I know, it's astounding when you think about it long enough. We're very resilient.

Thank you, glad most of us did. Unfortunately a small number of people in other towns weren't as fortunate, and they suffered arguably worse damage. But this thing, for something that wasn't the most powerful tornado out there, still cut a long line of destruction from downtown to my high school. We've rebuilt most of the neighborhood, but much of downtown is up for some serious redevelopment soon, and my high school is nothing but dust now. The rebuilding plans are still constipating pretty hard right now. But yeah, seeing where that thing was, I consider us very fortunate that my street was spared.

LOL, that doesn't even make sense. You should hear about the Senator who after the massive storms we had in February mocked the President by throwing a fake snowball on the Congressional floor saying "Catch this, Mr. President". That kind of arrogance can't be tolerated when the scientists and the public know a hell of a lot better these days. But you know, anything to protect their corporate interests, who have no problem pumping out more coal or fracking more national parks and wilidlife reserves if it saves them the headache and expense of pursuing alternatives, Or building pipelines that could threaten the Mississippi River if it ever got a pass.

I'll have to. This is one topic I cannot allow to be ignored or brushed under the rug. It's far too criticial to stopping the nonsense in the show. Still a deeply personal topic at that. I'll see about a reminder. Should I do it in a separate message on her wall?

The trip was great, two awesome days of spring weather on the boardwalk........Followed by monsoon like weather driving home. That was kind of unfair, but I had a very good weekend otherwise. And my sister's concert, which was well over a week ago was fantastic. They really put on a great show there, her and her former classmates from college. Another perfect weekend weatherwise too. If you ever see Virginia someday, be sure to do it in the Spring months. You'll thank yourself for that if you do.
