Went to the 36th Annual Shrine Football Game last night. Although there had been tornado watches all day, being a typical Wyomingite, I almost totally ignored them (this isn't Kansas or Iowa, Pilgrim). The weather beating a football game is like the Washington Generals beating the Harlem Globetrotters. To make a long story short they had to cancel the football game at end of the first quarter with the game tied 3-3. The alert siren had gone off twice but it was pretty much put out of mind. When the local police showed up and told them to empty the stands because of severe lightning, possible hail storms and tornadoes in the area, some of us became believers. As I was driving home, I noticed the typical Wyoming tornado response, people weren't in their basements, they were in their yards with their cameras looking straight up for tornadoes. We did get a downpour for less than an hour but our rain gauge showed slightly more than half an inch which will be more than we usually get in either July or August.
The wife reminded me of something that took place at the play Friday night. They had passed out bingo cards as we walked in the door. Just before intermission, they played a for real bingo game. At the end of the show, the winner was presented a frozen turkey. You don't see that on Broadway.
Yesterday both the Rockies and Twins won. I may have to get my purple wardrobe out.
Saw a cute rabbit in the yard this morning. If he/she can find a proper mate, consideration will be given for passage on the ark.
Sump pump intervals yesterday-45-50 minutes; will continue to monitor the situation and pray the power doesn't go out.

We have a bunny rabbit living in our backyard. May have to set them up if the ark is a go.
