Killer Storm

 

1. We got hammered also.  Both of my sons phoned us to make sure we were aware of the weather. We had the lid open to the storm cellar and were ready to dive.  No damage to our personal real estate that I can see.

   A monstrous lightning bolt fried our phone/internet access this past Friday.  All that underground limestone and water makes a swell conductor.

2. We’re altering Herschell’s “Ain’t God Good to Indiana” to “Good God, Indiana!”

   It does seem that The Show Me State and those adjoining are getting more than their fair share of nasty weather…

5. The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.

   The really scary thing about St. Louis is the earthquake threat.  Katrina was nothin’ compared to that.

   There’s no way to delay the trouble headed St. Louis’s way. 

   Skipper: Margaritaville is the place you autta be.

   don’t know the reason, i’ve stayed here all season,
   with nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
   but it’s a real beauty- a St. Louis cutie
   how it got here i haven’t a clue.

6. I hear that Karl Rove was driving the Halliburton Mischief Machine out that way all last week.

   Hey, you think he wasn’t? Then where was he all week? Can you PROVE that he didn’t?

   Bush Lied, Twisters Flyed!

11. We kept getting these “dire warnings” that kept cutting into Law & Order on “USA”.
    In the end we got an interesting light show and some rain.
    big deal.
    I was hoping for a monster storm that would cause my friendly “siding hornets “ to die from fright-but nooooo. We don’t get any fun weather ‘round here.
    maaaaan!

12. I hear you, Barb! Poor Baby. Chicago is well known for benign weather.  I’ve enjoyed it myself.
    Except, of course, when I see corpses stacked in trailers outside the Coroner’s Office.

    (just kidding & exaggerating—a bit)

13. The Chicago heat can really rack up a pile.

    Chicago is like a 3rd world country, like France.

    St. Louis is in the tundra.  The IA 23rd lost 60% of their 1000 men in basic training in MO in the winter.  Sure some of them could have starved to death but it was cold.  If the St. Louis earthquake hits in the winter, FEMA will need 10,000,000 buses.

    The IA 23rd lost over 50% of the remaining 400 in their very 1st battle where my Great, Great...Grandpa was shot.  But 4 years later he was marching into TX.

    Don’t vacation in St. Louis, it’s too dangerous.  Come to Florida where you will be safe.

    I’m Iowa born, I’ve come to set you free

14. I’m walking the St. Louis half-marathon on Sunday Z.
    We may move there in a few years too.
    I think we’ll live.
