Bad Memorial Day weekend

Iowa finally this spring got its tornadoes yesterday p.m. after seeing the things wreck the South for the last several weeks. Two towns in northern Iowa, west of Waterloo, were blown away and wrecked totally (Parkersburg and New Hampton) with what may have been an F5er. Then another one smashed Hugo, Minnesota, a suburb north of St. Paul. Then about 6 p.m. a fast moving wind blast did a tree wrecking and power line knock down on the south side of Des Moines. And Liz Trotta yesterday morning on Fox News made a dumb comment about how Obama and Osama should both be assasinated. I always have liked Liz as a talking head. She has been a pundit for years, I think going back to when there was network radio news, but she did a tongue slip of fatal proportions yesterday. And I am having car engine problems that appeared yesterday--so May 25 O8 was not a good day for many many people. I will not try to review what the gruesome threesome did on the campaign trail yesterday. With the car problems I did not get to any Memorial Day services, but kept my own vigils for some fallen friends. The last surviving WWI veteran, Jack Buckle, was interviewed on Fox and CNN today. He is about 103 and seems to be alert and in good health. This is going to be all for right now. The tornadoes of yesterday are the main news in this part of the country, and I need to get the car looked at tomorrow. You all take care. Di di mau!
