Saturday 18th May

This isn't going to be very long, I just went to the monthly meeting of the AARP this morning but didn't stay for lunch.   I can't be doing with lunch at 11 o'clock, the meal times here are all so early.   Phyllis, as President, was busy looking after some visitors so I caught up with her this evening in a long phone chat.

Someone there asked me if we had big roads like the interstate, I said we did, they're called car parks.

In the news there are three major scandals which are totally dominating the news, and all the talk shows, but I think one needs to be more American than I am to be able to get one's head round them.   They are all so political.

My attention has been mainly focused on the Weather Channel, as Oklahoma is facing a severe tornado warning.   

And it has been very hot, I think the hottest day this year, I turned the air conditioning on.

As you can see it was 101 down in the south western part of the state.

I also took a picture of someone holding some hail, but can't find it. The hail stones were so big people were warned to stay indoors as one could be killed if hit by one.   They were absolutely huge.

From the holiday snaps............
After 7 attempts I am going to have to give this up, I'm having problems uploading photos, I think the computer might need tuning up.
