It's a twister! or just tuesday...

I've always wondered what the chances were of there being a tornado, where I live, on the first Tuesday of the month at 10 am. I figure not very good. That's pretty specific. And if Mother Nature is hell bent on unleashing that kind of wrath, I assume she wouldn't take the time to appreciate the irony of a tornado during the tornado siren testing.

But to be completely serious for a moment, the tornado sirens is a good system that's in place. It could possibly help save lives and prevent serious injuries if there really was a tornado. So it is a good thing they test it the first Tuesday of every month at 10 am to make sure it still works. Because if you don't make it into the cellar, you'll bump your head and end up dancing with a scarecrow, talking to a lion, getting bossed around by a big floating head, and taking advice from a lady whose idea of transportation is a bubble. And if that's what you want, it's a lot easier just to see your local drug dealer.

Plus, the siren made a really good alarm clock this morning.
