While watching TV last evening the screen went blank and a weather alert was broadcast indicating a tornado alert about the same time the local sirens went off. One look at the sky and I was convinced this was a serious storm coming through our area. Frankly, we had every thing set for a run to the basement, but decided to see what would happen. I can say without any hesitation we really "dodged a bullet" after seeing the storm path and the damage at Lake High School. This was really too close for comfort since St Rte 725 runs within a mile of our house. The lightning strikes were incredible and the rain really heavy. We were very lucky to say the least. Wonder if John W's airplane hangar suffered any damage?
Since I'm on IR I went to Germantown yesterday with the better half to help with the grand kids and see a couple baseball games. The nine year olds are starting to play with some skill, but the five year olds are clueless. Our daughter-in-law is PTO president and was running a big garage sale to raise money. Needless to say thunder storms rolled through and created havoc. This weather is really Jack Nicklaus's fault. If you will look back over the past decades you'll note the weather clears up after The Memorial Tournament at MVGC. If you look at next week's forecast you'll see fair weather moving in.
Understand my replacement for the Saturday game did himself proud and he and Bill S recovered some of what Bill lost the prior week. My sources tell me the Great White Hunter was unusually accurate with his wedges late in the round to help save some dignity for The Social Director and himself. I had planned to ride along with the better Half today and chip and putt, but last night's rain put a stop to that idea.
Off to one of the docs on Monday so maybe I can find out when we can move forward on the knee.
Don't forget the annual meeting today. I hear lots of rumors so it should be important that we all attend.
