So Madison had a surprise tornado. Nobody saw THAT one coming. There was JUST enough upper level shear to spin things around.
Elwood was up on Saturday and we had planned indoor activities due to the coming rain. The rain never really materialized and about 3:00 I saw one more line coming our way. A swift storm and that was it.
We are watching WonderWoman and DJ calls down. "There is a tornado warning". WHAT? Sure enough. Then we see that there is a tornado ONE BLOCK FROM ELWOODS APARTMENT.
What is it with Saturdays with Elwood. One year he is marooned at my place from a flood (Grinders Island). Another year he is marooned because of a blizzard and now a tornado next to his apartment.
The tornado was an EF 0 causing damage but no injuries.

1000 ISIS fighters have surrendered to Kurdish authorities since they were defeated in Hawija a stronghold. Where is this in the network news??? It was in the New York Times.

After gaining a little momentum from Hurricanes, Trumps approval ratings (an average of over 100 polls) are dropping once again to near all time lows. The Ipsos poll which is rated as A- and leans right has him at 35% approval which is basically his base and will stand by him when he is impeached.
OH - this whole decertifying the Iran Deal Trump is boasting about is mostly symbolic. It's just Trump marketing and making Congress do the heavy lifting so he does not have too. In reality it will do nothing. Certifying is not even part of the terms. All it does is make Congress vote in 60 days which they will do and nothing will happen. The adults in Congress do not want to decertify. Trump COULD just pull out of the deal completely if he really wanted. He is just giving his base (older white males) another blow job to make them happy.

OH - Before I forget - make sure you remember there is a Greenbush Bakery next to the old American TV store and they are OUTSTANDING. I am so over Duncan Donuts and their horrible tasteless donuts! Seriously. I have gone there 3 times since they opened in Sun Prairie and BLAH!!
Their coffee sucks also. Drink ANY coffee after a bite of doughnut and it tastes so much better. Or just pop a teaspoon of sugar in your mouth and sip some coffee. Same thing.

7% of the running power stations in Puerto Rico failed bringing the total back to 5% running.
*****************************
The GOP paid Mike Pence to protest at a football game giving him $250,000 to do so. NOT fake news.
+++++++++++++++
Blade Runner 2049, a movie I REALLY want to see only has to make 150 million more to cover the cost of producing it. Pretty disappointing box office but GREAT reviews.
********************
I've been told to look at James Street to look at a large traffic bump and if the DOT is going to fix it. Seems to be right in front of American Family Insurance ??? More on this later.
********************
I STILL have no idea what is going on about snowmobiles as the video of the last council meeting has not been posted yet so . . . I'm clueless what is actually going on (although clueless is my comfort zone) .
