And I'm sure hoping that tomorrow brings that hootchie-mama Jeri Ryan (aka 7 of 9)
Well...... even us geezers can dream.
My motel area was fine after the big storm, as was Oshkosh, but Ripon got its butt kicked. It's about halfway between my motel and Oshkosh. No power at all in town when I went through at about 6:30 a.m. Many streets closed with fallen trees and detours. Don't know if it was an actual tornado or just high straight-line winds, but it was a mess.
Drove back through Ripon at about 5:30p.m. and the roads were opened back up, but still NO power in town. LOTS of tree limbs remain all over folks' lawns/yards/sides of streets and many utility repair trucks were to be seen. Hopefully they'll get all the power restored to the town before too long. Mother Nature can sometimes be fierce.
The AirVeture grounds were again packed. We worked the Red Route today. It brought to mind the ideation that the difference between a Warbird owner and God, is that God doesn't think He is a Warbird owner - lol The passengers seem to be a lot "easier-going" and fun on Blue, but maybe that's just me? I dunno.
Still quite a lot of planes on site though traditionally 'bug-out' Friday and Saturday can be expected. It doesn't look like weather 'should' force any early departures though. So we shall see.
So until tomorrow -
"Growing up, my neighborhood was SO POOR, that after a storm, when the sun came out, the rainbow was only black and white."
and
"My idiot brother in Indiana was supposed to drive up and meet me here, but he was driving West on the Indiana toll road and saw a big sign that read "Chicago Left", so he got disappointed, turned around and went back home."
and to end it for now-
"I was going to tell you a terrific story about time travel, but you didn't like it."
