rediscovering some old friends

[ThomasP]

Hi ThomasP and thanks for the welcome back!

We had horizontal rain, very high winds but only four tenths of an inch of rain! Lost electricity three times but it came right back on again. That part is remarkable. Usually with three drops of rain we lose electricity for eight to twelve hours here in East Texas. Lots and lots of lightening and heavy thunder. We had a few tornado's in our area, but those were for the most part north of us. That was a nasty storm and right now its going north-east and from what I'm seeing on my snazzy weather station there's half a dozen tornado's on the ground in that storm this morning. Its not over yet, but the sun is shining here.

We've been very fortunate as far as fires are concerned and these little local fire departments in our part of the country deserve a big pat on the back for keeping the many fires we've had under control. I really admire firemen, very tough job and tough men and women.

Glad to hear it. Having spent a very significant portion of my life in West Texas I think I am still an honorary Texan. At least in my own mind.

I missed your post yesterday. Sorry! I'm glad that you didn't have any damage and that you and your wife are okay. My boss, several of my students, and co-workers live in Alabama. The damage there is devastating.

VG...he didn't say he found his dog....just that he went looking for it...

I'm glad you found your dog. It's fun to take the threads off topic.

You're right! I wonder if he's out looking for his dog again? Actually, I hope the dog finds T and brings him home. He (T) could be lost!

Now the dog just needs to get him home safely. If T doesn't show up here soon, I think we should take a trip to Texas and find him. What do you think?

Mrs. T might not appreciate that....I don't think she likes visitors....

What? What? I think Mrs. T would be thrilled to have us look for him. She's probably waiting for him to get home so he can make one of those fancy meals (i.e., Kraft Mac & Cheese!)

I'd think if he's been gone for that long she might be waiting for him with a shotgun or something similar....
