first or second????

It's always the first for me... Not that I enter it, it's in a non-closable tab in my FF, actually... Both on my work laptop and on my home pc.

AHHHH!!!

I woke up and that! And then I looked on Amazon's site tracking which said
"unknown!" but in Oklahoma City (about 20 minutes away).

I looked outside... bright and sunshiney. No clouds in the distance looming over OKC like that scene from Ghostbusters... WHAT THE HELL!?

And grabbed the UPS tracking number and got more info... at 4 am there was some sort of weather... I don't know, really. We were having thunderstorms but I've no clue if it got that bad. Anyway...

THEY say it is out for shipping. I think I'm gonna have a stroke!
Well, we're a little far from Oklahoma, but we had tornadoes, winds up to 60mph, pouring rain, and hailstones as large as 4 inches across last night. The storm came from Northwest to Southeast .... so there may have been a storm front must like that at some point up your way.

At one point in the storm, the weatherman said that there had been 1,000 air to ground lightning strikes in 5 minutes. It was that sort of night here. They were advising everyone to stay off the roads, they closed down the airports, and told everyone in about 8 counties to head for shelter.

I snuggled up in bed with some of the cats and got to see a tornado touch down outside (it was not headed in my direction, so it was merely entertaining). It did make for interesting watching.

We also refer to them as "well drinks", or better yet, "off the gun".

yeah, actually, pshrynk, I wanted to say something before, but, uh, is, is that, is that an otter following you? Shhh... don't turn yet.... wait..... ok, NOW! LOOK!

Well, is it? I can tell it's not a llama because they have much better taste in clothes.
