I think I am like a cat with nine lives and think I've experienced maybe 7 of the 9. I err on the side of caution now.
Are you a Stephen King fan???? I noticed your quote at the bottom. kiki

Hi Kiki,

On the day of the ride from hell I heard an enormous explosion sound a couple of minutes after my alarm went off it literally shook the house (and no my husband didn’t hear a thing) that morning so I staggered to the computer with my coffee to see what was up on the weather and it was flashing tornado warning…yes I did go back and forth thinking should I go to work or not…?actually when I reached the detour I didn’t know that a tornado had hit I just saw a couple of big trucks turned over on the road I assumed it was a car accident. On my way home when it was light and I could drive my normal route is when I saw the damage. I kept thinking to myself what if I had drove through that area just a little bit earlier....

I’m not a big fan of snow packed roads either… I once had an old Oldsmobile Toronado that I drove.. that car was built like a tank it could also seat about 15 people..lol.. it would go through the snow with no problem I was laughing one time because everyone else in there nice NEW cars were sliding and thrown over into the side of the road and me and my old tank were going up Farmington hill outside of Durango with no problems…listening to the music on the radio.... LOL

….yup I’m a Stephen King fan I like a good horror story …I used to read a lot of him when I was a kid…course now I have real life to cope with and nothing could be scarier then that...

Hi sue,

We’ve been staying in the 50’s hi 40’s at night…our over night low for tonight is supposed to be 59… I can see new growth on the chids but because its still to cool I know not to expect blooms for awhile…but then starts the next ordeal of shading the plants not just the orchids from the burning sun… ..sometimes I really envy the indoor growers since they are able to control there growing environment..

Of course, don't leave your Phals outside.
