A PRETTY GOOD STORM LAST NIGHT



We had a pretty good storm come thru CH last night, the temp dropped about 20 degrees in about 20 minutes and we got about 30 minute rain that was much needed. The wasn't a whole lot of lightning with the storm but there were a few pretty good claps of thunder, this morning it is 68 which is as cool as it has been at this hour in CH in about three weeks. The UVA football team lost it's best wide receiver yesterday Deyon Williams with a stress fracture in his foot and is out indefinitely, he will have surgery on it today. I have posted a photo taken at Andrew's swim meet back in July of me and Scott, I didn't realize we were so fashion oriented. As you can tell I can post photos again with my blog entry, I don't know what the problem was yesterday. MICKEY
