So far so good....as least as far as weather is concerned. I expect, though, that we may see some severe weather tonight. Hope I'm wrong. We've got a cold front coming in fast right behind some very warm air.

YIKES! Glad you're feeling okay. The kahlua filled chocolates sound yummy though.
Actually, most of that system last night passed a little to the north of me, but not by much. It’s looking really nasty out there now, but not doing anything so far. I really don’t need another sleepless night.
No. When I worked at the ARCO Towers (as it was then called) in LA during the 1980's....they had some that went quite fast up to the executive floors (48 or so to the top: 51)....once I was in one during an earthquake, which create great alarm for those on the 48th floor. I had no idea until I stepped out of the elevator....it shook all the way to the top, as usual, and I felt nothing different than normal.
Elevators aren't the place you're supposed to be during an earthquake. waaaaaa.
speak of the devil.....she-devil. : )
NOTE TO SELF: Do not exceed the speed limit.
I pray that you stay safe, sweets!
I am right on the Arkansas/Missouri border to the south by 20 miles. He is about 10-15 miles north of the border. I'm just to the east of Bentonville/Rogers and slightly SW of Branson, MO. I was seriously stressed last night listening to all those reports. The worst of the tornado warnings in his county were late. I haven't talked to him since about 10:30 last night. Everything was fine then. He had a really intense day at work today, so I really didn't expect to hear from him this morning. I think the Arkansas side of the border may be in for it tonight.
"I suppose nothing could be much worse than the treadmill"
I would LOVE to have a treadmill. I've worn my Gazelle plumb out. I like the treadmill because it is more mindless and gives you more options while working out. Can't afford one right now though.
Ringy, I should email you a picture of my Christmas present. No, not a horse. I wish.
Posing another challenge to Catpuppy's golden tongue, Cardy?
Gotta get my butt back to work. *Sigh* This is what passes for a lunch hour on days like this.
Your fondness for "big" 10 losers is exceeded only by the consistency with which they find ways to choke in the big games.
Move south, Sharkey, before it is too late. Better climate, friendlier people and superior football. We'll leave the light on for you ...
ps--I believe that makes 15 SEC National Championships over the past 50 years. The "big" 10 remains stuck at 6.
back to work????????
argh!
Same here. The days when one could expect much chance of successfully escaping are long gone.
Some talk the talk, others walk the walk. Some do both. :>)
Yes, you are right. There is no escape - especially with the choppers overhead. But, the cops don’t usually shoot the driver to death. (That is probably why the news chanels use the 7 second delay on ‘live’ video.)
but you can see where they have been.
I think that the guy shot one of the police officers. That will get you ventilated almost every time.
I read about the trouble those tiny wheels gave and how they had to insert shims to prevent wheel wobble - it may be a light plane but it can come down hard.
