and the windstorm follows...and then an Alberta clipper

Well, after the weather mess this weekend (which killed at least three people locally on the bad roads), we got a big windstorm as a followup. A tree got knocked down in our backyard and got tangled up in the electrical lines. By some miracle from God, we kept our power. Sadly, the neighbors all lost theirs. So that was a mess on Monday. Took Detroit Edison hours to fix it and get the live wires off of the ground and back up into the air.

Tonight it is snowing again. It is a fast moving little storm of the sort called an Alberta Clipper. We should only get an inch or so of snow, and all should be well.

Dan finally went to the doctor today about his bad knee. I have been telling him to go for weeks. They think he has some sort of ligament damage, and he will start physical therapy next week. I told him that even though my knee aches every day, that the physical therapy I had helped a lot, and kept it from hurting a lot more. Hopefully it will do the same for him.

The Tigers are in the middle of another blockbuster trade. They have picked up some great players in this off season, but they are giving up some great young pitching prospects to get them. And that worries me a lot. Jerrjens and Miller are going to be fantastic Major League pitchers someday, and it will be ulcer inducing to see them in Atlanta and Florida uniforms rather than proudly wearing old English D's.
