flea is indeed correct. I work in the Kenwood area, which is north and somewhat east of downtown. Areas near it include Blue Ash, Madeira, Montgomery, Silverton, Pleasant Ridge, and Norwood.
Why do you ask? (Please say possible visit. Please say possible visit.)
Possible in the sense of I am here right now? Then yes. I was hoping you might be able to break away sometime Thurs lunch or afternoon. Weds night also a possibility.
OMG, was so distracted thinking about convo in B'cracy I put dirty clothes in DRYER and reached for the detergent.
I'mma think I'll eat and grade paper now...
msbelle, wait. She left a new hire without adequate instructions and then was cranky you weren't princess sparklefairydust? Yeesh.
Swim swam. Theory that a cooler pool yields faster laps borne out. After a week of mediocre times, was at a normal pace tonight. Pool was significantly cooler.
Terrifying video of Joplin MO on CNN right now. The place looks like a giant stepped on it. Those poor people. I don't think it's my imagination that tornadoes are getting fiercer if not more frequent. F4 tornadoes used to be rather rare. (News lady just said she'd been covering weather and tornadoes for a long time, and she'd never seen a tornado leave this much destruction in such a wide area. 6 miles long and a mile wide.)
The Times has an interesting historical map about tornadoes and deaths from them. 1953 was a very bad year, including in, of all places, Worcester MA, which is not exactly Tornado Alley. [link]

Yup. It pretty much went right through my street. And when they rebuilt they only replanted one type of tree, which happens to be the type of tree the the Asian longhorn beetle likes, which is why nearly all of the trees in my neighborhood had to be chopped down to deal with the beetle problem a couple years back.
t /more information than anyone wanted to know
I am a librarian - there is no such thing as too much information! Here's a slideshow of photos from Worcester in 1953. Looks like there weer bad fires, too. [link]

Interesting. I have never seen that link before. I do recognize all the street names, though. My landlord lives on one of the streets shown.

Oh, you bet I can! Thursday probably best, but Wednesday night is workable. My profile addy is good if you want to e-mail me.
Woo!
