People in small towns in this area have their homes in the water. There has been so much death and destruction in the last week across this great Country that it is unreal. We should all take a moment and pray for everyone affected.

Man, you ain't kidding. On the way home yesterday, I drove past my house up to Blue Grass FWA, just to see how it's doing. I couldn't even get near it. The road to it is closed, and all of the pits now form one big pit. And that's 10 miles from the Ohio. I bet if you had a shallow jon, you could pole yourself all the way from I-64 to the Ohio here in E'ville.

On an added note, I got home, and raced to mow my front yard before the visibly approaching storms hit. Not one second after I mowed the last square foot there was a lightning strike about a quarter mile away. That's it...I'm done. We got pea-sized hail for the next 15 minutes, combined with 40-50 mph winds. The coup de grace was when the sun came out...we got a nice double rainbow...(WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?!? )

Sakes alive, is our weather all screwed up this year. Take care of yourself, Alabama guys.
