Missing McKinney Man Found

I heard this story last night on NBC5i but all last night and today I couldn’t find any relevant story published on any of the local news media. They interviewed his wife last night and she has been praying for him since they have not heard from him since April 13th.

The last contact he told his family he was taking a 400 mile overnight trip (Northbound) to Sacramento to pick up his nursing license.

So what I find pretty strange is why was his body found in Arizona (East) over 500 miles from where he was staying??

I would suspect fowl play now as his car was no where around the body. You just feel bad to read these stories as probably some punk ass kid wanted $5 for some drugs..

Here is a blurb from the story last night:
Edwards said she is clinging to faith that if her husband is injured at the bottom of a ravine, his being a nurse may help him survive long enough to be found alive and returned to his family.

Looking for some help

Going back to the later high school years and early twenties I can’t imagine how I just didn’t really care about my body and most likely drink most weekends. Looking back it’s unbelievable. Parties left and right, and I didn’t seem to care. Maybe I needed some drug treatment or rehab or something.

Eventually one day I had enough and didn’t touch the stuff again. I think now I only have 2 drinks per year. Yeah I know crazy! I never had to detox or hit rehab, but I’m surprised my liver made it through ok.. lol

Where do you roll?

Back in the day I used to roll with some mini-truck and lowrider clubs. It was a lot of fun. We would travel every weekend to different cities to show off our rides and sometimes we actually set up a huge elaborate display with mirrors and ropes. We would clean our vehicles in and out. Those were some fun days.

Now that I’m older there are other clubs and hobbies that could be fun to check out. They have dog clubs, scale model clubs, weather and chess clubs, there are so many. Wait here is one my dad would love, a wine club. :)

Are you involved in any type of club? I would like to hear about it….

I love collectibles

And straight to the point, I have so many different kinds of collectibles is just crazy. They pretty much take up a few shelving units and about one third of a small bedroom.

You can really get addicted to this stuff. I have such a variety of collectibles. My collection includes, Jeff Gordon, The Tasmanian Devil (Warner Bros.), Scooby-doo and a pretty big collection of pez items. Oh and if you feel so inclined to do so, you can send my pez collectibles at any time, just ask for an address, LOL.. !!!

Maybe I need an addiction treatment before I find something else to be addicted about.

New Layout, well maybe

Later today I will be messing around with some new layouts, etc.  I have one in mind that I want to go with but we will see how it looks live..  Not that I have many readers at this point anyways, but wanted to give a heads up as things might look different sooner than later…

I’m trying to get away from having a dark theme.  I liked it at first but really doesn’t fit me, so hence the change.

I was trying to do some follow up searching on a post I did earlier when I was in Seattle. I ran across this blog.

Looks like they found a second suspect.

Big Storms Heading this way

Earlier around 6ish they posted a tornado watch #224 for our area. They are talking about Golf Ball size hail, damaging winds and possible tornado or two.

2 counties out there is a tornado warning right now for rotation and there are some reports that there is damage as well. Local media came on and showed the projected path and it’s coming right at us. Might have more hail like we did last Thursday night.

I will keep the blog updated as much as possible…

If your in this area, watch the sky!

UPDATE:
Wow I don’ think I have seen this much Lightning in a really long time.  It was insane.  I hope my video I took worked out.  I have never edited video but I will try and see if I can get something posted..  It was nuts.  We escaped the hail at least so far and the really high winds.

Looks like we are just outside the moderate risk area tonight but still in the slight risk. Last thursday we were in a slight risk and had marble sized hail for at least 5 minutes straight.
