No Super Tuesday Here!

There is so much hype in the media for ” Super Tuesday”, I think that people forget that not everyone gets to cast a ballot today.  Here in Washington, we don’t have our primary for another two weeks.  So, while I’m glad that people are excited to vote, it’s dissapointing for us to not really get our say.  This is reinforced by many of the commentators on television who state that the candidates could very well be determined today.  It’s kind of like when the election results are already announced when the polls haven’t even closed on the west coast!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!

Reilly's down

We have a sick little dog today.  Had to get up early and call the vet for an appointment, with hopes of getting her in as soon as possible.  Sometimes, being a pet owner gives you flashbacks to earlier days.  Four little kids, lots of trips to pediatrics.  Life repeats itself sometimes, only the names have changed!

Strange Weather Event

This is the very first thing that I have posted.  I was waiting for just the right thing, something that wouldn’t seem boring or mundane.  Well, yesterday at around lunchtime, we had a tornado here.  I had gone out for awhile and when I returned there were large piles of hail on the ground.  I didn’t think too much about it at the time.  Later in the day, while at the grocery checkout, the clerk mentioned the fact that there had been a tornado pass through, about two miles from our house.  Evidently, the damage was pretty extensive!  Upon arriving home, I was shocked when I put the news on.  There had been non stop coverage all afternoon.  It obviously wasn’t as bad as some of the storms you hear about in the midwest, but it did take about a four mile path from Vancouver Lake, down 78th Street, and out to Hockinson.  Roofs were blown off, bricks were taken down, and many trees fell.  There were power outages and all of the equipment and boats used by the Vancouver crew team were destroyed.  Many people are dealing with alot of damage today.  It was way too close for comfort.
