Mornin'

Up early because of a nightmare. You know the kind, where you have to get up and really wake up before falling asleep or you'll find yourself back in the dream...

Suposed to be cloudy with rain later in the afternoon, but after I wake up the second time, it's off the the studio to work. The sad part is that this week will be my last week in that place. I was the last to rent one of their spaces, so the first one out as they are doing major renovation. I'm trying to squeeze as much work in as I can...

This evening it's dinner with our neighbors, fellow tornado survivors. Today is the tenth anniversary of the tornado that hit our houses.

Here's a video about it. Watch at the end. That's the sized hail that one of my neighbors thought was his wife throwing a softball at him. He was push mowing around some shrubs about 200 yards away, with his back to the house and didn't hear his wife calling to him after I had called her about what was coming. He saw the 'soft ball' and saw his wife on the porch frantically waving to him to come in. Then he realized it was hail, cut the mower and ran to the house. The tornado hadn't arrived yet...
