A "Walker:Texas Ranger" Experience

My sister Rachel and her husband just had an experience like Walker Texas Ranger! Their car blew up yesterday. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but I still feel really bad for them about their car.

Grant and I at a Mexican Restaurant.

" I always order Enchilada's." He said.

Saturday my friend Grant took me out to lunch at a local Mexican place. We had a good time. Here are a few photos from it. ( BTW, sorry there are none of me, I was the one taking the pictures.)

" For my High School Graduation gift, I traded the Pocket PC my parents got me for a set of patio furniture." He said. I thought that was funny.

After the Storm

Intricacy Admist Chaos

Sunday morning we experienced a dangerous storm. Everyone's electricy went out, and people retreated to their basements to stay safe. It was truly a day of ups and downs. The storm we had is called a "microburst" and whatever microbursts do, this one shredded through the area at rapid speed... splintering trees, knocking down fences, and awakening fears for those with no house insurance. Car windows were smashed, roofs collapsed, and streets were blocked by large, fallen branches.

After the first tornado rolled through, it calmed down for a while. I walked outside to survey the damage. People were walking about solemn and stunned. A man stood across the street talking wildly on his cell phone about how his property was hurt. Two hippies from the street, smoking what looked like handmade cigarettes, joined me for a couple minutes taking photographs of this one tree that had been ripped in two. " Dude, I love that tree." One of them told me.

Here are some of my photographs.

My New Video Camera

I just got my first video camera! It looks just like this one. ( I am happy.) =)
