Aaaaugh!

ZOMG! Just a quick post to say I'm home from Azkatraz. Last night there was a horrific hail/wind storm here, and what was once a pretty nice honeylocust tree in our back yard is now prostrate on the lawn (having barely missed the house, thank god), as are numerous trees in the area. Any summer flower (and my special daylily bed in particular) is trashed. No vegetable garden. There are just leaves everywhere - on the lawns, in the street, plastered on the house - and the whole town smells woody like fallen trees.

Pictures forthcoming. Until then you can read about it here. A lot of those photos are from right around me.

Great quote: "It was wild," the 73-year-old said as she surveyed the damage at her home on Jellison Street near West 32nd Avenue on Tuesday. "It was just like one of those Harry Potter movies."

I had the best time! I'm glad your car didn't get towed (it didn't, right?) And I will never look at a bottle of hotel mouthwash the same way - Cordelia and I nearly saved the rest of that bottle as a memento.

Your talk the next morning went exceptionally well. I enjoyed it so much. Wish I'd caught all of the others you did, esp. the reading.

Nope, husband got car in time. Thank goodness. The last thing we need right now is a $150 ticket and a $300 towing fine. Thanks for the pep talk about the writing thing. I just felt so unprepared that I was certain I sounded like a babbling idiot.
