a tornado ate my home town

[campylobacter]

Even a pathogen such as I came from somewhere, or what's left of it.

I'm 2000 miles away from my home town, and I had to weed through noise about Britney's rehab or Anna Nicole's probate to find out the day after it happened. The local newspapers with the most immediate news don't have RSS feeds, which is my preferred choice for receiving current event news.

My folks are fine. My high school alma mater and many old stomping grounds, however, are not. Although I don't know any of the 9 people who died, I'm connected through their friends and kin.

Thank you. I always took my home town for granted. This disaster made me realize how much a part of me Enterprise is. My home town helped build who I am today. (The good parts. Don't blame it for my own eeevil!)
