The tornado was declared an F2, which is a little higher than I was expecting. It was on the ground for ten minutes and damaged quite a few homes and buildings in three different municipalities, all in my usual stomping grounds. The church that was first hit had about 100 people in it when it hit wi...

I read those fires are just picking up from where they ended last year.

Yeah, the diamond market is highly rigged. Diamonds are fairly common, found nearly all over the world, including the USA. It was a massive marketing job done by De Beers, aided by Hollywood.

Cool!

Nice! I've seen the northern lights before, in Alaska and Norway. These did not match the ones in Alaska, but were better than the ones in Norway, and I was really surprised at just how nice these were. I was not expecting much, and they far exceeded my expectations. We just went across the street t...

Gee, I missed that one.

RIP

Just had my first experience with a tornado. It's been storming for two days (cleared enough for northern lights sighting last night). Got my first warning on my watch, closely followed on other devices. Local news was on, so they covered it moment by moment until it was over. Heavy rain, hail above...

Very nice, A life well lived.

And a garden maze. My granddaughter loved it.

I think he had a closer relationship with them than his dad. I think he spent a lot of time with them, maybe even lived with them off and on,

I took photos of the green and pink lights. I have a northern lights photo app that I put on my phone when we were going to Iceland in the winter, but my photos taken on the newest Apple 15 pro are just as good. Not as good as I've seen in Alaska, but not bad for this far south. And I caught some cu...

Somebody in that family may have a modicum of sense.

Wow!

I love such spectacular fails by those who soundly deserve it.

Sharable.

Here's a serious article about brain worms.

But the comments are a hoot!

I was on a ship out in the Atlantic when this also happened about five years ago. I think it was a teenager who had to be airlifted to Norfolk. The rescue was visible on the ship's camera. We had our granddaughter with us, so we didn't watch, but from what we heard, it was fascinating to watch.

Yeah, I can remember when I felt sorry for her. That didn't last long. She is a birther and a grifter. If she really wanted to keep her son out of the mess, she could have left.

Heading out of the country in two weeks, so got the vaccine that was recommended a few months ago. Moderna again. So far, my arm isn't even sore, so I have to keep reminding myself that I got it. I hope it stays that way.
