We were in West Liberty once, visiting a gracious old lady in a double-wide. I recognized downtown on CNN, remembered a left turn into the countryside. When you live somewhere for a few years, it is always part of you, an alternate universe. My wife was driving along the Ohio one day, with our three children in the car. She had lived in Texas as a kid, and recognized a funnel cloud when she saw one. Get into the lowest ditch, the radio said, so she did, but the twister veered away. It’s coming to get us, she said after that. It’s coming right up Brownsboro Road. I covered a tornado in Green County that spring. A little boy, sleeping in his farmhouse, had been impaled in a splintered tree. By the time I got there, the sun was out, a beautiful spring day in Kentucky. Eighteen months after we moved back home, the same system that crushed Xenia, Ohio, blew straight up Brownsboro Road, demolishing the town houses on the corner, ripping the roof off our kids’ old school. This Friday night we held our breath for Henryville and West Liberty and all the rest from where we used to live. * * * Below: The view from the Courier-Journal Building. 3/28/2013 10:18:56 pm
Wow, that was strong! I've never saw one in real life but I don't think I want to... I am so afraid of them, I think I would faint for real if I am near a tornado. 5/21/2013 05:18:10 pm
A standard penetration test is a way for scientists to get an idea of how resistant the soil in a certain area is to the invasion of water. The tests conducted on the sample are usually unaffected by the disturbance of the soil. 6/12/2013 10:29:26 pm
Keep your focus and great things will definitely be at your side. 3/28/2013 10:22:21 pm
I saw a tornado once and it was pretty awesome. I was a little bit afraid of it, but it was really amazing. I had a very interesting feeling. 4/17/2013 12:39:15 am
Boxes and packing materials for online selling can be obtained at virtually low to no cost by reusing clean food boxes, or by using the local post office's priority mail boxes. Packing materials can be obtained by using newspaper or recyclable materials and asking for packing peanuts or bubble wrap on local recycling sites such as Freecycle in your area. 4/17/2013 12:39:57 am
I agree, frankness is different to unfiltered honesty! Frankly I am offended by the comment that "everyone spins the truth". There are, of course, times when tact is needed, but tact and spin are. 4/17/2013 12:40:55 am
If you need to be agile you need to practice it holistically and not selectively. Getting rid of standards for the sake of being agile because you are yourself not agile enough to start with to make changes does not sound right. 4/17/2013 12:42:00 am

Whenever a baby boy comes into the world, may mother and father and family members wonder exactly how tall the actual boy is going to be as a grownup. 6/4/2013 08:22:01 pm
It's a scary experience. It's an advantage if you can recognize a tornado forming clouds. You've got to be alert to take safe shelters.. 8/1/2013 01:12:52 am
Tornadoes often disrupt the life of many people. Most times, it met with large causalities and it is a sad to see the people around us in that situations. In that case, the only thing that you can do is to pray for them. These videos were great and let us unite against these natural disasters. 10/9/2013 08:07:10 pm

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. 10/29/2013 01:35:27 am

“I don’t think people understand how Covid affects older Americans,” Mr. Caretti said with frustration. “In 2020, there was this all-in-this-together vibe, and it’s been annihilated. People just need to care about other people, man. That’s my soapbox.” ---Vic Caretti, 47, whose father recently died of Covid at 85. ---From an article by Paula Span, who covers old age for the NYT, which currently has 2646 comments, the majority criticizing the American public – and public officials – for acting as if the pandemic is “over.” Classic wishful thinking, at a lethal level.
