to see a Triangle in the sky.

On May 31, 2013 an EF 3 Tornado passed near El Reno, East of Oklahoma City.  It cut across farm fields and headed Southeast toward Moore.  Three Storm Chasers died when the Tornado changed direction.

A Travel Story....

This is a pic of my Left Hearing Aid.

The white "DOT" is the Hearing

Aid Filter.

The Clear Dome covers the end

the Hearing Aid & comfortably

fits into outer Ear Canal.

After months of daily wear, one of my Hearing Aids will not work.  It's time to replace the Hearing Aid Filter and the Dome.  I realized my Left Hearing Aid wasn't functioning.  After mailing a letter at the Post Office in Rolla, Missouri, I sat in the car, with the door open, and went into my Travel Bag to find the Hearing Aid Filters and Domes I had packed.  Lots of items came out of my Travel Bag - Hairbrush, Medications, Hand Lotion, Moisturizer....

While unpacking in the Hotel in Terre Haute, Indiana, I realized that my Toothbrush was missing.  It's in a cool Blue Case and is hard to miss.  I couldn't have left it at the Hotel in Rolla, Missouri.  Where did it go?  I carefully looked through my Travel Bag again.  My Toothbrush vanished!

I asked for a Toothbrush at the Front Desk

& returned to the Room with a new

Toothbrush.

Where the #^*! did my Toothbrush go?  Eric and I always walk through each Hotel Room separately to look for anything that could be left behind.

At 3:43 am I woke up with the answer....  My Toothbrush, in it's cool Blue Case was left on the side of the road in front of the Post Office in Rolla, Missouri.
