Food for thought. A small tornado can total your car, demolish your house and kill you if not in a shelter. The small one in 89 shoved plate glass though car tires and tore roofs from houses. This tornado went over a High School, some of my friend that were they said they saw AC units flying in the air above them as they were heading for shelter.
And that is the biggest reason I do not want to even think about living in tornado country..you can loose everything, including your family, forever.
In an earth quake, stuff just falls down, occasionally, but at least it is all still there.
I have said the same thing.

He has yet to respond, so I gotta log off & will let you know what he says later.
BUT
WHAT should I do?
leave them home, if he says no to a table by the breed clubs, OR enter them & thereby cause a commotion (but it would be devilishly fun!!!
)
So what should I do???????????
You all want to see them, right???????
I will enter 4 or 5 if need be, no problem, I will not work too hard on bathing them, they are pretty clean...

Score!
It's been in the antique mall in Fife for three years. We finally decided to make an offer. Got it for just over half the asking price.
Beautiful clock - great bargaining! There is a clock repair shop here in town that I use from time to time for some of my special older clocks that I love. Maier's House of Clocks? I think they're out by Lincoln High School now. They've been around for generations.

Lovely job of bargaining, then. It really is nice, and not a typical Black Forest piece like most of the carved wooden clocks I see- much more fluid and worked (sanded and shaped as opposed to just chiseled) lines and the paint is wonderful.
I love unusual clocks. There are days I wish we'd taken the weird Masonic/Eqyptian Pharoah's head ebonized wood mantle clock at Franklin's grandmother's house, but it had set in an over-heated Texas hallway for too long and the wood broke when touched. So dry it had checked all the way through, as was true of an oak wardrobe in the back bedroom There was a lot of stuff in that house that had just been neglected to the point of being unsalvageable.
Anyway: feeling pretty sick today, and with nowhere to look for help. I've got to clean and feed the chicks, feed everything outside, and try to finish the "keep chickens in" part of the Wyandotte run. It's not raining right now, but I also just now got to the point I could breathe without... I said elsewhere that this cold should be accompanied by the sound of "Aqualung" playing. Disgusting, painful, nasty horrible cold. Where's my Mucinex?

I love Maiers! They used to have a booth at the Puyallup Fair- when I was a little 4H-er I'd go and stare at their clocks when I needed to get away from the barn for a while.

No, it's a 49 IHC dump truck, and is part of My Cousin The Biker's rusting collection (although it was Dad's before that, and Archie Ferguson's originally).
(I learned to drive on that monster, and that may be part of the reason I've never had a driver's license).
I'm going to edit in a better photo, wait a sec.

Very cool looking truck
My cousin's wife uses it as a background for her portrait photography business; there's a bit of a war going on over what gets thrown on the bed, since the people up there do not get the necessity of NOT leaving broken barbed wire where the cattle can reach it.
My BIL has a Diamond T somewhere that he restored as his Senior Project when he sort-of graduated from high school; I expect that it and his 1969 Camaro will be my nephew's senior project in four years.

DD called late last night from Pullman. She'd been visiting a couple of her guy friends, then walked out the door to drive back to her apartment and it had snowed 3 inches. She tried to drive her car out of their parking lot which is on a steep hill, but was afraid of how much it was slipping, so her room mate drove home in her car which is heavier than Lily's. Filled with anxiety, she was just going to get a good night's sleep then head back to the guy's apartment this morning to see if she could get her car back to her place since by now they should have roads cleared somewhat. She just called a few minutes ago - "Now I have a flat tire." Silence. Sniffling. Then "I just want to come home!" And I hear her choking back trying not to break into full out sobbing.
Yes, I know - here's one more thing we should have taught her to do. But, not knowing how to do it myself I did the next best thing. I provided her with a AAA card. So now she's waiting for AAA to come help her with her tire and she'll ask about the best roads to get back to her apartment.
Still waiting to hear if her Chef manager will let her have tomorrow off so she can try to get home. At this point, it may be best if she waited until Sunday when there's the least chance of any snow in Pullman, the Palouse, or Snoqualmie Pass.
Yes, we are the folks you always hear about who don't know how to handle snow or drive in it. We stay home whenever we can. In the past though, most of my cars have always handled snow quite well and it was never an issue for me. My 19 year old is still very inexperienced, so now we grow together...
Just breaks my heart to hear my grown up girl cry though.

Having gone through the Nisqually Quake (five air miles from the epicenter of a 6.8) I think you did the right thing to begin with. Remember that the marriage line of a double wide has two steel beams under and two steel plates above, supported by steel girders on both ends: it's made to be road worthy. The neighbors across the field and down-hill had their 2X4 and 4X4 deck shaken into a pile of sticks. When we traded in our other mobile, we found out that they don't care about stuff like water damage or roken plumbing, because 65% of the value of a *new* mobile home is in the steel framing, and recycling old frames is the cheapest ways to build new houseoids.
