Howdy Y’all! Bad storms this afternoon. A tornado touched down in an area of south Albany called Radium Springs and caused massive damage. There are reports of some deaths but I haven’t seen any reports to confirm any deaths. Several people I know are affected with damaged homes, downed trees and power lines and so forth but none injured or worse. The storm system has finally passed through. Hope we don’t see anything like this for a long, long, long, time! In other news, the Etlanner Falcons are goin’ to the Stooper Bowl. Rah for that, I guess. ---

**swampy** , please stay safe. I hope the tornados don’t come your way. When I was elever a huge tornado went right through the middle of Topeka, It’s the only time I can remember my mother acting scared. Back then I thought it was just nerves, as she got us sisters under the bed downstairs, then slid under herself. But she told me years later she’d been terrified, and was trying not to show it. we will be thinking about you. ---

> [@Bumbazine](#): > > **Swampy** , perhaps you should build a tornado/bomb shelter? That would be fun. Especially when we get to testing it time; right, **Ruble**. 🆒 ---

Glad you’re OK **swampy**! The heathens and I brunched and did our good deed. In two weeks, we’ll haul everything into an area where the homeless frequent for distribution. Right now, I’m waiting for supper to finish up (chicken piccata over zoodles…I love cooking with wine. Sometimes, I even put it in the food! [credit to Julia Child] 😛 ). ---

Okay, back again because I just stumbled on the website, that I may, if it still exists when I die, order my coffin from. You heard me, I found a website that has personalized coffins, made out of biodegradable cardboard. Want to be buried in a coffin printed like a TARDIS? Or a box of chocolates? Maybe a checkered flag that says “Finish Line”? I’m from Kansas, maybe the box printed with giant sunflowers. > **[Home](https://www.creativecoffins.co.uk/)** > > Creative Coffins is one of the largest UK suppliers of personalised cardboard coffins. Choose from a huge range of beautiful designs, or let us help you create a completely custom cardboard coffin. ---

GO PACKERS!!! And make plans on where you are going to watch the Super Bowl from. 😃 I feel bad because they are the second-most Lutheran team in the NFL but if th4e Steelers can blow i9t as well I’ll be perfect in my football pool for this weekend. ---
