Wading through Katrina

Yes, Hurricane Katrina decided to run inland enough to bathe Nashville with flood warnings, severe storm warnings, and a "tropical storm warning", despite the fact that Nashville has never been "tropical". Fortunately, we have seen only mild winds and regular, but not torrential, rain, meaning that everything is wet enough to keep drivers skidding around on the highways and crazy toddlers doing unknown amounts of damage indoors. No damage has been seen by this Motor Moron, but I was re-routed last night after leaving my sister-in-law's place due to a reported downed tree. That started the inevitable repeated line of questioning from my curious 3 year old son, "Why was that tree in the road, daddy?", for the next 5 minutes. Who knew the hardest words to hear in the English language were "But why?".

To those of you who have read the previous posts, a 1204 was posted by me yesterday in Spider Solitaire. I have now tied my father's record!

Also, a great link for ACCURATE Iraq war information from an embedded journalist is www.michaelyon.blogspot.com. The latest post was chillingly real as the leader of the unit he has been following was injured in a gun battle with an insurgent.
