Yeah, I mean not that many people were lost up here, but for those who were, it's important that we don't forget them or of what happened up here. It was a freak occurrence, but it's one that left a lasting impact on this area, which by law is not accustomed to this type of violent weather. Everyone there is in other schools for now until a new one is built to replace it, but they're seriously jerking us off on what exactly the plans for that are. The question is where to rebuild. Why? The city's made it crystal clear that they want the original site rebuilt. And no, I didn't actually see the tornado, but I might've caught view of it if we didn't evacuate to the basement of our school library, where I was working at the moment it arrived. We were fine, but you didn't have to travel more than a few blocks to see what kind of hell had passed through. Oh not to mention the violent rains that had us stranded in a store with other people passing through in the hours after the actual tornado.

I know, nobody who thinks and acts like that is fit for high office, but American politics is backwards like that. Yes, this guy was taking a potshot at Obama. Typical conservative who is more interested in protecting his wallet than in thinking ahead to what is coming fast as a potential threat. When Battery Park in New York City finds itself sinking, they can't say the masses didn't warn them. These days people aren't so much debating the issue as they are trying to find ways to stop it. But you got that handful of people who's priorities are in the wrong place, or are simply that unintelligent. The danger is real, so any advancement in renewable, environmentally friendly alternatives or efforts to clean the planet are worthwhile. Ignorance will doom us in the long run. So ignorance is the other threat we gotta shut out.

Then that's what I will do, thank you. I have to be sure it was seen and read. I need that assurance, I didn't go through all that work to make the issues clear just so it could get buried. I'll drop a reminder later today probably.

We did, but we got through in spite of it. Actually, she's already graduated. And glad to hear it, it's an amazing state. Take some time to see the area around the Chesapeake Bay if you can someday, it's a stunning region.
