ok, so mean mamma has just had 45 minutes of unprotected......sun......yessserie......i had such a bad day at work that unprotected sun was the only answer, that and 2 glasses of wine on the back deck........for starts, the first burst of rain flooded our side dining room...........which was cleaned up by mr. mudge and the bill sent to our landlord by the time we opened......around 1:15 i decided that business had calmed enough to allow me to get my hair cut....and a heinous cut it is, by the way......on the way back from the bypass the tornado warning was announced........and i made it into trc before the hail started and the siren began wailing.......we have little liability experience with tornado sirens and customers, so i asked each table if they would prefer to move away from the plate glass windows into the cement block portion of the restaurant.........no one would move...they all wanted a window view of the hail and wind and rain..........some even ordered drinks.........back at home, one of my bgiger roses is completely knocked over, and will take quite an effort to lift it up and stabilize it with ropes.....but not today, after 2 glasses of wine........
