Naw, not to worry. Both my house and this hospital have weathered some bad storms, so I guess they are safe enough. Yesterday, when the sirens were screaming and our pagers and emails were popping up "Code T" which means one is nearby, no one from my division even bothered to go to the basement. We more or less just stood at the big plate glass windows (stupid move, don't try this at home) and watched the clouds roll by. A gal can get used to anything.

And just how long is a while?

Brrrr! That's still too chilly for me. I usually wait until our pool water is around 84 F. Walk-in warm I call it. If it's not walk-in warm, I'm not goin' in. Most years that only takes until Memorial Day. I'd trade the diving pool for a hot tub in a heart beat.

Glad to hear you survived! Man that's a lot of tornadoes, I didn't think you would see that many where you live. Is it in Tornado Alley?

So we are having lots more storms than usual. And the forecast is more storms right thru the next 7 days. It's soooo soggy!
crikey ! 71 tornadoes ????? make sure your house is tied down good and solid ! and be careful. we don't want you getting carried off to oz until we make sure we've got the exact coordinates for the trebuchet.

Yep, tornado alley and pathway and deer track, and places it has to follow breadcrumbs, apparently. I knew it had been a very stormy 2009 already, but had no idea that Alabama had seen 71 storms. Is global warming reaching out to smack us on the back of the head? Eeek!

Well, we use the pool as part of our cooling process, since we don't have air conditioning in our 90 year old home. It gets too hot at night and we just run down to the pool and stand in it up to our neck suntil we feel cooled off.

Oh, I get it. I still think I could only stand to put my feet in temperatures like that. Cold tootsies cool me off pretty quick.

I totally agree, but remember, you and I don't have farking spring. We go from winter to hot without pausing in between. 82-84 is my minimum comfort zone for the pool!

'S okay. Zany Carter Deluxes (and Patricias) only contain alcohol as a dilution and sobriety-agent. Also, ZCD's are not strange-coloured - the strange colours start after you imbibe.
