clouds

i'm not sure what it is, but right now i'm loving joni mitchell. though i'm listening to "clouds" right now, i found this link of her playing in canada in 1965. once you've opened it and it's playing, just hold out, have faith, she'll play solo soon after chip and the rest of his gang have done their bit.

tornadoes

it's tornado weather right now in huntsville, alabama. it's early in the morning there...maybe around 5 o'clock...and many huntsvillians are probably gathered around their tvs, radios or computers - some might already be closeted away in their bathrooms and tubs lined with pillows and blankets.

just chatted with my family a bit ago...mom and dad keenly keeping track of the weather, brian complaining about having to wake up...i miss that.

tornado season was actually quite an exciting time for me growing up. i loved the weather and the look of the incoming storm. i loved peering out of the porch or walking out into the street looking for the green in the sky; and the thrill of having to jump in the car to go to the Wolfe's house to hide away in their basement in the case that things got really serious.




brian always got really scared...it was very cute...but like, really, really scared. he would often start screaming and running around the house hysterically only to jump immediately into the tub and hide under all the bed clothes.

please say a prayer for those in the storm.
