They are definitely not a good thing (understatement).

Didn't come close this time, and garden and all are fine, though thye
gouged quite chunk out of north Kansas City.  Another bad thing about

Dodged this one, hope to keep up the same all summer.  THis year is
shaping up to possibly be some kinda record here in the US.

Care
Charlie, spending the weekend with all three ankle-biters!
