The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Reader D. V. sent me the link to this video of a hailstorm over Woodson, Texas back in 2006. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, as you can see from some of them filmed close-up after the storm (and from the damage they did to vehicles and homes).
I’m glad I didn’t have to drive through that!
