I wish I were there now, fires or no fires. Better fire on the horizon then Tornados in the neighborhood![:D]
No joke. Tornados are bad news .....
True, but 75 MPH winds in a thunderstorm is no joke either. I miss the hurricanes of Florida,the North Easters of Maine, and the typhoons of Guam. THOSE I can handle and understand. But SKY Funnels?.....well only two more years.(One down)[:D]
Believe me... they suck too. 100mph over last two weeks here. So many windows busted. Damaged steel bins you name it...

What I want to know is why does the mid west get these things? They say they are caused by hot air rising. But In the 9 or so years I lived over looking DC , there was always a big hot air cloud hanging over the Capital building, but I never saw DC get a tornado! (Coulda used it to clean the place up too!).[:D]

Happy Summer Solctice. Unless you live upside down, in which case enjoy the winter one.
I always find this day depressing. Heading back towards winter again...[:D]
Yeah, but at least in the next week or two the last of your snow will be melted. [:'(]

Hey Dixie! Get off the Thread and send me that turn! I've got ships to sink![:D]
Pffft. Go check your e-mail
Chief. You've got ships to sink? Before that you've got e-letters to write to the next of e-kin for your Marines! [:'(]
I suppose that the Zeroes must have caught your F4Fs at cruise speed, because that's the only way that an A6M could defeat a Wildcat...[:D]

My team is on the brink as well. [:(]
Yeah, but the Allies still have a chance in late 1945-1946 to break even. Don't feel too bad, dude. Oh, wait...were you talking about our 2x2 PBEM? [:'(]
You've got a 2x2 going? Really, with who? [&:]
Psst....don't ride them too hard....we currently have the turn. [:D]

Off to another interview this afternoon. Still getting good feedback and slow progress from my last two interviews. [:)]
Good luck there Mike, and remember what I told you last time.
Don't worry, Des, I don't think you came up at all this time around. [;)]

I've noticed a huge difference in just 120 miles from McPherson to Greensburg, KS.....every time we have 60 to 100mph wind here in the last two weeks, she has said it is only no more than 50-60 there...We've had some VIOLENT storms the last two weeks... and hardly anything before that for the last 6 months...

Interview today went quite well. I got some "instant feedback" from the hiring manager. I'd put this job 3rd on my most desired list of my currently active leads, but easily above unemployed status. [:D]
Should hear something one way or another about this one tomorrow or the next day. [:)]

I think it came over the wire while you were still having your latest round of computer "issues." [:D]
I'm actually intending to get started on my end right after Sara heads off to work.

Have to figure part of it was due to Norman raping and pillaging. I guess it depends on which group of northern raiders founded them.

Just found a place in the country to move to possibly. 28 acres of grass for cows, wohoo!!
Uh huh......
[sarcasm mode on]
So, let me get this straight, Jeff...you found a place in Kansas "in the country". A place that can grow grass for cows. Doesn't all Kansas grow grass for cows and isn't the vast, vast majority of Kansas "in the country"? [:'(]
It's like saying, "Hey, I found some land in Southern Illinois where I can grow corn!" or "I found some open land in North Dakota that was flat, dry, windy and grew wheat grudgingly."
[sarcasm mode off]
Cool. You going to do range-reared beef?
Oh we grow everything just fine. Missles are tough now. Used to have ten.

The Normans were just an over lay at the top, there was no mass Norman/French migration after 1066

I'm still having "computer issues". I'm using my $%%^&* Laptop. My "real" computer needs yet another new drive. And they are going to convert my "Dual drive" into a "Terciary drive", to avoid this annoyannce in the future. But I still didn't get an email, and my "partner" didn't discuss it over IM. So consider yourself appropriately chastised Mike![:-][:D]
