We had an eXciting evening last night as tornados ripped through our area. The Haliburton oil field services facility in nearby Pampa was wiped out by a twister that I heard was a mile wide. I have added a snapshot of the weather radar that has the rather skinny appearing but rather long storm. It stretched from southern Texas to northern Nebraska at this point around 8 PM.
I almost forgot about the hail.
A local dog got lost and wound up in our back yard. Luckily it had a tag with an address and phone number. So its owner got it shortly after the worst part of the storm. It was a pretty & young Huskie named Kola. So now Cooper has been wanting to go outside practically once an hour or more, sniffing the ground, wondering where he went. This behavior, through the night, irritated my wife, who kept getting woke up by Cooper to go outside. How come "our" dog suddenly becomes "my" dog when he gets in trouble?

So, Donald Trump made an anouncement that he wanted to shut down mosques. I wonder if he has ever heard of the concept of separation of church and state? Maybe someone advised him about it because he softened his line to inspecting mosques. If the government never managed to shut down the horrible Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas, then they have no business shutting down anyone else. I will be glad when his cam-pain is over.

I have had a great time making, eating and giving away bierox to my friends. This batch has been much better than the previous one. I put too much garlic and not enough cabbage in the previous batch. This has been my fourth time to make bierox since late September.

The ISIS attack in France seems veRy bizarre. ISIS seems like they are total idiots, useless beings. They seem to be about as worthwhile as scorpions.

I think I may start reading Samuel Beckett.

I found out about a product and company called Martin Jetpack from New Zealand. They seem to have a very interesting device.

Well I have a dog when there is a problem. We have a dog where there is not. I love the Jetpack thingy. Have you seen the video of them flying over Dubai?
Badger: Yes, I have seen the JetMan video flying in formation with the A380. The product that I noted in my blog post is a different product that doesn't actually have jet power but has VTOL and hover capabilities. Dubai has ordered these for firefighting rescue for their extremely tall buildings.
I only live about thirty miles from Hereford and we had storm Barney pass through last night. It did a little damage in a few places but not to us. The max winds were about 70-85 but mainly near the coast.
There is still a lot of news here about France as their were more arrests this morning and a couple of them blew themselves up. The logic of ISIS is very very odd
Donald Trump seems a bit odd too, but even he is not going to blow himself up
Rob But, would it be okay for me to wish he would blow himself up, as long as he didn't take anyone else with him? I think he came close to a melt down psychologically the other day in Iowa ranting about Dr. Carson.
I see that nice Mr Trump is still doing well. He does have interesting hair. . . folk do like interesting hair on a chap
