This handout photo provided by the Census for Marine Life shows a dragonfish that even has teeth on its tongue. They would be terrifying animals if they werent the size of a banana.
We got some rain yesterday and even a little bit of small hail but none of the bad weather that had been in the dire predictions. This is a good thing.
I did a little more mowing and have finally mowed everything at least once since we returned home now I have to start all over again. It wont be so bad now though if I just keep up with it.

I wonder if your Motel 6 in Joplin is still there?

Im just now reading the news about the tornado that tore through Joplin, MO, last night. I was just there a week ago! If the wedding had been a week later I would have been in the middle of a tornado which has killed almost a hundred people and destroyed almost a 3rd of the city of Joplin.

Hi DD! Our comments must have crossed each other! I was actually reading on the Internet about this when you evidently asked your question! I have been trying to figure out which part of town it went through. I have the very same question!

I saw the pictures and report on the Weather Channel this morning about Joplin........YIKES! I told Dave that you were just there spending the night! Unreal! So glad you were a week ahead of that!

Why do they call it the Weather Channel if they are going to run Health Week Why we love to run instead of real time footage of a major weather event? Ridiculous.
