Some damage - roof is a bit messed up- but thankfully nothing serious!!! Power was out for about 2 days. I spent most of the day today clearing out all the downed trees and tree branches in the yard. The neightborhood looks like a war zone, but just about everything is getting back to normal. Fortunately, no one was hurt (kids were in the house when the storm blew over). My son was across the street at the Park District working as a camp counselor. He was outside and literally right underneath the storm cell when it hit. He calmly herded the kids to safety - I'm very proud of him!!!

Glad to hear all is well George. And a big

to your son for keeping his cool under pressure. I guess it's in the blood when your dad's an LEO.

Always cool when your offspring does the right thing.

Last night was an unusually pleasant evening to be outside in H-Town: read relatively low humidity and the temperature in the high 80s/low 90s.

I settled down outside the Red Lion for a glass or two of Black Sheep Ale and a Flor Dominicana Ligera. I only got about a third of the way into it. Unpleasantly metallic flavour and rather more nicotine than I like even after a meal. That's the second one of those I haven't finished. I think I'm giving up on that brand.

This afternoon was an RyJ Petit Corona. Oddly, it tasted almost the same as the FDL.

was a Torano Exodus Gold Torp followed this afternoon by a Torano Exodus Silver Torp (should have been reversed) and tonight it was a CAO Italia.

Oh man, you go to the Red Lion to smoke? I hook up with some of my coworkers on Friday PM once in a while to have cigars, food and beer at the Red Lion bar. Next time we get together let me know and I'll send you an invite so we can hook up? Just lemme know ok?

Was raining pretty hard in my part of H-town today so went to my smoke shop to enjoy a Avo Maduro torpedo. Still raining when I finished so I had an Avo LE '05.
