Whoa!!! A tornado a mile away?! Holy cow!!! Now THAT doesn't sound like much fun AT ALL, John! But what's that old saying..."A miss is as good as a mile."?! These weather patterns this spring have been pretty weird to say the least. There was a tornado in Virginia just a few weeks ago ya know, and that's pretty unusual too I hear.
Anyway...nice hearing from ya, and I hope to hear that you're out there on your bike soon.(weather allowing, of course)
