Oh, I'm getting late again!
Oh, I'm getting late again!
I can't sleep.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I am very grateful that my son and his friend survived Hurricane Yolanda in the Phillipines.And very sorry that over a thousand people lost their lives in the storm

About that Typhoon - just seen a news piece on the BBC where aid workers in Cornwall were packing "shelter boxes" ready for shipping out there. That's great, BUT in the final summing up the reporter said each 2x3 ft box costs 600 pounds delivered!!!. Who's taking all the money? where does it go to?
It almost puts you off contributing.

ROAR!
Severe storms, high winds, and even a very rare high-risk tornado watch for the entire Chicago area. Hope my fellow local LitNetters have their hatches battened down. It looks like one of the major storm lines is heading like an arrow right for my area of the city.
At the very least, the conditions should make the Bears game interesting if it isn't cancelled.

Well, the Soldier Field stands have been cleared, and the first tornado warning has hit SE Cook County. Tornadoes already spawned have been large and long-lasting. The kid and I are ready to hit the basement if necessary, but currently just heavy wind, heavy rain, lightning, and hail at the house.

Looks like the worst is over and the game's about to restart. We have some water in the basement and lots of tree parts on the ground, but nothing unusual. Guess I'll be on cleanup duty tomorrow.
Here's a post-storm rainbow picture taken from the balcony just now.

Good to see weathered the worst of it.
I saw your original post earlier and checked in now to see how you fared.
You had since issued updates.

Back here after a long time. Feeling nostalgic. Lots of good memories are strewn here.
