Enjoying the quiet ...

... but missing our deer. ;-(  We haven't seen any since the last report.  We still try to keep our eyes searching and hoping for more sightings.  Without the deer to report on there hasn't been much else of noteworthy news.  We are enjoying the quiet and no-hassle time with some good temperatures.  It has mostly been in the mid to upper 60s at night and upper 80s in the afternoon.  It has been a bit breezy with winds 15-25 mph and gusts to 30.

Watching tonight's evening news we are reminded that one year ago today we were in a campground in the southeast corner of Oklahoma City when the big tornado destroyed Moore, OK.  The local newscasters that afternoon were showing the projected path and we were directly ahead of that prediction.  We jumped into the truck and drove to a point that we felt was out of that path, which was true.  We listened to the radio discussion of the storms path of destruction and when the word came that the twister had lifted it was just a few miles from our campsite.  From today's news broadcast we see that the town of Moore is rebuilding but it will be a long time before they can get back to something normal.
