Ok, so I will admit, I am totally, uncontrollably obsessed with full timing. I work at Falls Park in Sioux Falls, Sd. There are a lot of RV's going in and out of the park and while I am at work I have to hop in my truck and go drive by them all! So if you're ever traveling through Falls Park and see this crazy lady...

I drove through both Moore and El Reno, OK this week. The visible damage is enormous. As we sit back in the relative comfort of our rigs, think about the hundreds whose homes were literally blown away, and are depending on relief agencies for everything. Gang, an extra 10 bucks on your phone bill ain't...

Finally, after all the painting, cleaning, purging (still some more of that to do), repairs, etc, etc. our house will finally be on the market tomorrow.
