Two Unrelated Topics

First of all, after the last two weeks, I'd like to redact my "I missed thunderstorms" thinking. As the central part of the state keeps getting hammered with storms, much worse than any during my lifetime, perhaps I was a bit too eager on the t-storm front. Below is a picture taken of the inside of the Columbus East High School gymnasium. I cannot even comprehend the amount of damage that school has seen, and that is just one of hundreds of buildings in Columbus that are pretty much ruined.

On a lighter note, I caught this article from MSN about a team of 125 scientist stationed in Antarctica, where they are about to experience total darkness until the first sunrise on August 20th. And what was included in the last shipment they received before winter? 16,500 condoms, of course! Antarctic scientist sex does not sound very pretty, but sometimes you do, in fact, come across a hot scientist. If you are really lucky, you can even marry one. Until next time...

my parents sent some pics from the bop's dad's friend of some flyovers of columbus/seymour. crazy wet. hope your new house weathered well. my cousin just bought a house in columbus that got totally destroyed. luckily they were still in their trial period and are able to back out of the purchase.

so which one is the hot scientist? heh, just kidding. we all know ramona's the hot nerd in your house... what with all her smarts.

hope the rains are over for now. stay safe.

They need to air drop some condoms on Columbus since the hospital is closed.

Ugh, that's so sad. =( It's a shame that so many historical buildings are ruined b/c of this. Hope you two are holding up well. It hasn't stopped raining here, either, but it's just that icky Seattle mist you are so familiar with.
