Tornado
A little over a year ago a category F1 tornado went about a block and a half North of my house.
We heard the tornado sirens and got in our basement.
The rain and wind was getting stronger, then (as if someone flipped a switch) it just stopped. After a minute or so I went up stairs and everything seemed OK.
My wife went and sat in the living room looking out the window and asked, "where are all those people going?" I went out and saw some trees down a little over a block to the North, that's when we knew something had really happened.
Not the only incident
A few years before that a Micro Burst (which is almost a tornado, but the wind goes in a straight line) came right through our block. The worst of it hit about 150 feet north of us. It came out of nowhere, the weather was very nice otherwise. The tornado sirens sounded less than a minute or two before it hit.
Both of those left a very visible trail of destruction, neither of them sounded like a train.

It's about time to give Koko (our Bichon Frise) a bath.
They say that the Bichons do not smell, like other dogs. They also say not to give them baths more than once a month.
I'm here to tell you that those two statements are wrong. They do smell like other dogs, and you need to give them more regular baths to prevent it. It does take longer for them to get that dog smell, but it comes.
Since Koko likes to be outside, he smells like a dog sooner than most other Bichons. I think we need to get on a weekly bathing schedule for Koko.

Our silly dog (Koko, a male Bichon Frise) loves to stay outside, we sometimes have to trick him to get him to come back inside.
He also loves to dig, our back yard looks like a mine field with several craters.
Today he found a way out of the back yard I think he dug under the fence.
When I get home today I have to look around the yard to see where he gets out, then I have to fix it so he can't get out that way anymore.
I already have the perimeter of the fence lined with landscaping timbers, bricks and other items. That seemed to do the job for several months.
Ah, the joys of pet ownership! :-/
