New Glasses To See Tornados With

So, do you remember this funny picture we posted in an earlier blog?

Remember, how we shared a laugh about how funny it was? A funnel cloud! How silly.  North Platte doesn't get tornados.

Ummm...well...as it turns out, the National Weather Service thinks we do.  Yup, we are on tornado watch. Tornado warning!  Ahhhhhhh! Sorry, didn't mean to freak out on you. Please read the following weather alert from the National Weather Service while we compose ourselves.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT (Sounds like the beginning of a ghost story. Boo!).
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 

ARE POSSIBLE (possible? Try inevitable) 

THROUGH 

THIS EVENING ACROSS THE

SOUTHERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE  

AND SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA. 

VERY LARGE HAIL (oooh, twenty bucks)

...DAMAGING WINDS...

AND ISOLATED (does that mean they are lonely?) TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE WITH

SUPERCELL (also known as UFO) THUNDERSTORMS. 

THE STORMS MAY GROW (how could they get any bigger?)

INTO A LARGE COMPLEX DURING THE EVENING AS THEY MOVE SOUTHEAST

...WHICH COULD RESULT IN... (death? paralysis? indigestion?)

A GREATER THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS 

AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.

Okay, we're back.  Enough about our freak weather, let's talk about a freaky situation that has developed in our lives.  In case you missed it on Facebook:

Brian, Nina, and their garage door now open and close with a converted wireless remote control! Woo! Or maybe just the garage door does, who knows!

Let us model what this looks like for you:

Uh oh, the garage door is closed.  What are we going to do? Who will save us?

Super Remote Control!

Smaller than a boat,

more electric than a rubber duck,

Super Remote Control will save the day! (Or night, as the case may be).

And just like that, the garage is open!  Thanks, Super Remote Control!

This is an amazing invention (not to toot our own horn).

Toot! Sorry, we couldn't help it.  We're trumpet players after all.

Speaking of inventions, let us take a moment, to wonder in amazement at Nina's beautiful crafts. (Yes, it is official, Nina has become a crafter.  Craftist?  Craftite?  Let's stick with crafter, yea?)

Ooooooh! Don't you feel welcome?

Aahhhhh! Now it's cool to put stuff in storage.

Wooow! Beautiful frames!

Wow! This is incredible! Look at that detail!

Okay, maybe someone else deserves credit for this last one, but still:

way to go, Nina!  Doesn't Nina deserve a gold star?

Let's give Nina a gold star.

What will Brian and Nina create next?  We're open to any suggestions from you, our wonderful blog reader (yes, that's you)!

Time to sign off,

but wait, there's more!

Do you see anything different about us?

We'll give you a hint:

we see something different about us.

Weird how see keeps getting bolded like that. 

Did you figure it out? (You, smarty pants, you).

That's right! New glasses! 

You deserve a gold star!

Oh wait, we already gave that to Nina...

Awwww...Nina says she will give you her gold star, how nice!

Now you can tell all of your friends that you earned a gold star on Brian & Nina's blog. 

Want to earn another star?

Well, for now you'll have to wait...

Until next time!
