I stared my weekend driving thru a mother effing tornado. Yes, I drove thru the storm system against my better judgement but I did make it from Lexington, Kentucky to Chicago in about 5 hours. These were taken driving on I-65 north in Endinburgh right around the time Hillary Clinton wrapped up her speech. Edinburgh is about 35 miles south of Indianapolis.
An hour later, all of the major highways around Indy from Terre Haute there were closed due to either flooding or twisters touching down. At that point, I was 2 hours away, driving in sunlight towards Chicago.

I got home to have a quiet and dry weekend. I had a few friends and family that got hit by tornado systems but no on was hurt and property damage was minimal. My other half, my Celtics shirt and I wandered out to the park downtown Sunday night and joined over 100,000 other folks in enjoying a legendary set with B.B. King who closed out the 25th annual Chicago Blues Festival. It was so important for me to spend this time with my wife witnessing a legend under the stars. It'll make you drive thru a storm... Or get the blues.
History, y'all.

I always wanted to see him live but couldn't afford tickets the last couple of times.
You know, I come through here and leave long thoughtful comments and Blogger chomps them up! sigh.
So, I'm getting through now. If not, I'll just keep reading and slowly walk away...
