Still with the headache... we had our "tornado", which was more like hurricane force winds for about 5 minutes. Don't know how bad the trampoline is yet, but it's up against some trees. It even picked up a large planter, ripped out the plants and threw it across the lawn! We had 1/2 inch size hail, also. It was actually quite scary. I'm at the local library as we speak... oh, and with strep throat! Aaaarrrgghhh!

yowza!

my rehearsal for this evening was cancelled, and some after-school activities, too, because of the tornado warnings here.

I'm glad someone has the temerity to use gay to have a meaning other than the one currently most common. We should not lose perfectly good definitions to trends.

Begging your pardon, but I believe you are making a new use of the word temerity , which Merriam-Webster defines as "unreasonable or foolhardy contempt of danger or opposition." I think you mean to say audacity or courage, unless you're expressing schadenfreude at someone else's display of temerity.

/This from a guy who once said "Platonic method" when he meant to say "Socratic method," and who can't keep Cormac McCarthy and Carson McCullers straight.
