May, 1996 Tornado Damage

• The tornado went around a big field next to an elementary school. Some houses that bordered the field didn't fare so well.
• Several houses bore the brunt of the storm while across the street there were a few broken windows.

Trip to Chicago

• Jason in front of his parents' palacial estate in the fabulous Beverly district of Chicago.
• On the way to the airport, we found the Irish butcher shop where Declan's father had worked when they lived in Chicago. You'll see that they have Declan's favorite meat item on sale (guess which one listed on the sign is his favorite).
• The butcher shop had something interesting living on the roof.
• We had heard that Jason's parents had recently bought a Lexus, but we were surprised to find it parked at Midway!
• Here's another shot of the most funky-fresh and fly Lexus in the Chicagoland area.

Misc

• Right before Christmas, we had our first big ice/snow storm. My car did OK except for one wheel not turning almost all the way to work one morning, and some significant amounts of ice on the windshield. However, when it gets cold, I tend to become goofy looking.
• I recently upgraded my RS/6000 model 230 to a 250, which is Power-PC based. This required a motherboard swap as well as a new video card. After several months on order, the motherboard arrived. Here you can see our Price-Is-Right-Girl-In-Training Mike Hollyman sitting on the crate that contained the upgrade. Several people had theories as to what was in the crate (note the pallette below it):
  1. Two little people holding the motherboard to protect it from jarring in transit (boy, would they be pissed that I waited for the IBM field engineer to open it!)
  2. Several new C10's accidentally shipped to me
  3. An entirely new Model 250 and 20" monitor
  4. A whole lot of air
  Well, it turned out to be an entirely new RS/6000 Model 250, each part individually wrapped in its own box. So the last one was the closest.
• I just bought a (new to me)car. It's a '93 Mazda 626 and I think it's pretty neat.
• Here are my friends and I
  demonstrating just how crazy we are. Click on the image to see who they are.
