Kansas Weather

I really do miss Kansas. Even scenes like this. Storms have incredible power, along with an island of peace and tranquility that you can see, even though it might be afar off.

I came across this site today, which chronicles one episode in the life of a Nebraska storm chaser. On this day, his chasing took him from Kearney NE to Holdredge, then south to Kansas, through Norton, and east on Highway 36. The article is liberally illustrated with photos such as these, and deserves a look. Check it out.

On another note, this photo is © 2006 by Ryan McGinnis. I also informed SWMBO tonight that I want one of these pictures framed and matted for my birthday a few months hence. We’ve got a good framing/matting place just down the road, and Ryan has these for sale on the site already referenced. I’ll email him tonight to get the details on the picture, so hopefully he’ll overlook my posting a drastically resized version of it here.

Simple Philosophy from Burningbird

Shelley Powers1 has composed lengthy, well-written posts, more often than not illustrated with incredible photos she’s taken. Then there’s the short, simple, and sweet:

I live by a simple philosophy when I write about other people:

I never say anything of a person in life, I wouldn’t be willing to repeat after they’re dead.

And I would never say anything of a person after their death that I wouldn’t be willing to say of them while they’re alive.

Right on both counts.
