Ironically, I watched the original Twister last night.

It bad the smoke in Tulsa you can smell it

It sprinkled mud here.

MUD.

Ahcktualay... That was a combine.

And I know the guy that dropped it from the crane for the movie.

(shameless plug)

Had about half an hour of hail about an hour ago. Marble size and a few a little larger. This after spending the last ****ing 8 months getting repairs done from the last hail/tornado in July. Probably going to be glad I paid an upcharge for impact shingles.

Sorry dude

More irony - back in May of '96 my uncle's house and several others in his neighborhood (Raintree Lake in Lee's Summit) were destroyed by a microburst. The couple who lived across the street were at the movies when it hit - watching Twister.

Did he work at Daves in Union, IA?

Might have. Don't know where he worked. Lived in Marshalltown,. Don't have my contacts in, but they seem close together. Crane wouldn't be located at the place of work anyway.

Had a nickname that stemmed from his last name.

Could have then. Dave's crane did a lot for the movie. I taught in Union. Pulled me out of the ditch for free and had the owners son in class. Also gave money for a mini solar car project I did.

**** today.

Nothing like chiseling up long term no till to get it to stop blowing. It was so goddamn dirty today.

****.

****!

Someone told me it hit 100 MOH in liberal.

Overnight lows in the 60's

I'm here for it, thank you God

He was the nicest guy. Would do anything for any body.

But, had glasses that I swear you could see the surface of Mars with they were so thick. Made his eyes huge in them.

On the set, he saw Helen hunt. Went up to her and introduced himself. She turned and yelled "Security!", or so legend had it.

Every time he walked into the bar people yelled it.

I am sure of that. She was not nice. Shame, because she is great in Mad about you. A student met all of the cast. Everything parked on their farm. Said everyone was nice but her.
I had just moved there when filming was ending, otherwise being the local science teacher, I would have found a way to get in the film. I have a big red truck and a small 3-D Dorothy. There was a real one for sale 10 years ago and it went for a lot more than I could afford.

One of the best movies!!!
