    Crazy Wind Currents

    Anybody watching the news knows the Dallas/Fort Worth area got ransacked by tornadoes yesterday.

    These were taken this morning, about a mile West of DFW airport along Hwy 360. A wall cloud passed over this area and there were reports of 'tendrils' dipping out of it. Even though they never officially touched down they still left their mark on the ground. These are all East-facing slopes. The West-facing slopes and flat ground were virtually untouched.




















































    it's all young and fun and skiing and then one day you login and it's relationship advice, gomer glacier tours and geezers.

    I was on a plane overtop of that whole mess when it was going down. I thought it was a fun ride. The wife, however, made use of the ol' air sickness sack.

    Turbulence is generally entertaining.

    However, there was a United 737 over Lafayette, LA yesterday reporting "extreme turbulence." You don't see that report often and certainly not from anything that big: they experienced a 6500ft loss of altitude flying overtop of some storms. THAT would have been unpleasant.

    If they could only transfer some of their better steak and barbecue cooks up here.... It's a nice place to eat on the company dime.

    You need to get Argentinian cooks. Not Texans.

    For about 8 years I worked on the road quite a bit and also had to wine and dine clients every now and then. Working on the road is not as glamorous as a lot of people might think. Hotels get old.

    That's not wind currents.

    Obviously that's aliens.

    Wind currents are just a myth propagated by leftybloodsucker-liberodouche-enviroMENTAList's for taking all your moneys...

    There's no proof it was wind currents, I mean you can't even see wind currents; that's the proof that is was actually aliens.

    Funny, I thought of you when I took that picture.


    Don't know why.

    I thought so too. But I didn't see anyone else out taking pictures. They just drove by like it was no big deal. What's wrong with people?

    But those are some cool photos.

    I'm flattered you're thinking of my but-hole. But would rather you didn't.
