Dodged a Bullet

Had tornado sightings earlier, some large hail. The sirens wailed and the power went off, only just now coming back on.

Pampa is the black dot on the screenshot; the storm is (thankfully) past.



I'll admit I was a bit scared, but my fright was tempered by my anger. What chaps my butt is that when the power went off, so did the local radio station. The taxpayers (me 'n the rest of the good citizens of Pampa) paid a large amt. of money for an emergency generator for the station.

querulous

querulous \KWER-uh-luhs; -yuh\ , adjective:
1. Apt to find fault; habitually complaining.
2. Expressing complaint; fretful; whining.



A word that describes the political party not in power at the time.

Who Nose?



Wonder what "it" is? Something I'm looking for? My destiny? Someone's fist?

Some would say it's my prostate.

Lumbering Along




You Were Born into the Wood Element



You are compassionate person who values harmony. You are quite generous toward others.

You are able to adapt to almost any situation. You are very independent.

You have to watch out for your temper. Your emotions can get the best of you at times.

You are truly passionate about life. You are always embracing the world and learning from it.



This is where I'd normally refer to my being a blockhead or going against the grain or work in an innuendo about a "woody".

But I won't.

Tint the Twister!

Color a cowboy riding a tornado at the NWS weather site:

From the site:

A wild ride for sure! However, tornadoes are nothing you can play around. If you hear a tornado warning for your area or see a tornado, take cover immediately a well-built building or house.

(I'm sure they meant to say take cover "in"...not sure I would want to stick around to cover a building or house, well-built or not)



Color the picture by clicking on a color swatch at the bottom of the image then click on the image where you want to apply that color. Color off-line by downloading and printing the pdf version.

That cowboy has the biggest nose of any I've ever seen.

I'm not sure I should even mention his saddle horn.
