What a day. Took the tornadic weather about 2 hrs to fully pass over us. We hunkered down with the dogs and cats listening to the weather on the radio.
Started hearing reports about it hitting Henryville, In.
Its a bit north and east of Runamuck..about 30 miles. Just about wiped it off the map.
We finally got the all clear . I started trying to fix dinner . The wind was still terrific but it was straight line.
Heard that 30-40 separate tornado's had been spotted..Then the power went out.
We waited a bit and it stayed out. We packed up and came on back to town.
One of my raised beds got ripped out of the ground and drug about 30 foot across the yard.
I had it covered and secured trying to get a jump on spring.. Wind caught it up like a sail .
We are fine.. Many aren't. Heard the death count is 7 in Southern Indiana. More in other places.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...it’s been trying to snow all day today. The first weather speculation was 4 to 6”; the latest speculation is 1 to 3”. We’ll know in the morning.
How is your weekend looking?

Say Goodbye to a Legend
Davy Jones: 30 December 1945 29 February 2012
These goodbye themes at the Canteen come far to often imho, but they serve a purpose and somebody's gotta do it. This week we lost a lightweight who held his ground among the momouth heavyweights of our time. Standing 5-foot-3, and seldom topping the scales at over 7 stone in his native British lingo, he had apprenticed as a jockey and started his show business career by age 11. There is endless trivia and tributes populating the Interwebs this week, so indulge me as I stray from "just the facts" and try to show a man and a band that were certainly enigmas.
Davy was on quarter of the Monkees, which in the mid and late 60's was as close to a Beatle as one could get. I was a fan of the band, which some still argue wasn't much of a band at all, but a corporate contrived Beatle rip-off, made for TV forerunner of today's scripted reality show craze.
Cry foul! As this first signature song shows, this kid could sing and by the time he made the Monkee cut, he had been singing for quite some time. He was trained in the British musical theater tradition, best known for his role as The Artful Dodger in the musical "Oliver!" on the London stage. He also appeared with its Broadway cast on "The Ed Sullivan Show" the very night the Beatles made their American television debut in February of 1964.
In fact, Davy was the only Monkee chosen who was not a complete unknown. He was under management contracts for acting as well as a record deal when he was discovered by the Monkees producers at his audition (those greedy corporate guys - more about them later). Davy didn't play an instrument and didn't attempt to learn one as at least one other band member did. He shook marachas and tapped tamborines and stood around looking impish and speaking proper Queen's English. Billed as the "lead" singer, he actually sang less front showcases than either Micky Dolenz or Michael Nesmith, but he added solid harmonies to almost the entire catalog and earned his reputation.
This song was The Monkees' final number one hit (in autumn 1967), "Daydream Believer" (sometimes listed as "Cheer Up Sleepy Jean") was a fine way for the group to bid farewell to their adoring TV fans. Written by ex-Kingston Trio member John Stewart, the song has a swinging camaraderie to it that makes it a joyous toe-tapper. It's a song about the loss of innocence and the anticipation of responsibility and it was certainly fitting at this stage of the Monkees' career. Deftly arranged by jazzman Shorty Rogers, the song's unique piano hook was invented by Monkee Peter Tork. Ann Murray later had a huge hit with the song as well, and she kept Tork's piano lines in her version. Used in dozens of television ads over the years, the song has also reappeared on the Japanese pop charts as recently as the 1980s. It's a timeless slice of pop, and perhaps Jones' most memorable showcase.
