not from here or there


We're back from North Carolina.

Just in time to experience an abnormally violent Chicago storm. Last night I thought a tornado was going to touch down. It was hailing, lightning, thunder, rain and wind like you wouldn't believe. Today, a woman told me that she grabbed her family photos off the wall and hid in the basement. I just closed my eyes and hoped it would go away. It was like the end of the world. But it wasn't.

North Carolina seemed tame compared to last night. We didn't encounter any southern thunder storms. But, it's a spooky land. We spent most of our time in Asheville. A beautiful town up there in the mountains. More about that later.
