Barack and Michelle Obama came to Evansville last night, after waiting for the polls to close in Pennsylvania. They came to Roberts Stadium, a large venue that holds up to 12,000 people. Due to my son’s rescheduled baseball game and my daughter’s unknown arrival from an out-of-town track meet, I was unable to attend the rally. [...]

Aftershocks continue…

We were rumbled out of our beds again last night. An aftershock woke us up, although I thought it was part of a dream I was having, so I didn’t realize what it was until it was almost over. My husband, daughter and I conferred in the hallway, then went back to sleep. My son slept through it [...]

The 5.2 magnitude earthquake we felt Friday morning in the Midwest was relatively rare, but not unheard of for this part of the country. While it was only the second earthquake I’ve ever felt, my family and co-workers can remember other quakes they’ve felt in this region. Friday’s quake was definitely the largest one felt here [...]

I went in to work late this morning so I could see Michelle Obama speak at Harrison High School. I got there early enough to be towards the front of the line, so I waited (and froze) for about an hour before they let us in. While we were waiting outside, a young man was [...]

Hillary Clinton visits Evansville, Indiana

My daughter and I went to the Hillary Clinton rally at Harrison High School tonight. We waited in line for 2 hours and 15 minutes before we got in. It was just in time, too. It was getting pretty cold outside. Inside the gym, it had to be 80+ degrees, so we warmed up quickly, then [...]

Snow!

Posted in Weather, tagged , , , on January 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

It snowed a heavy, wet snow last night, which brought us a 2-hour delay for school this morning (just enough time to write a quick post). The kids were hoping for a day off school, but the weather didn’t fully cooperate. I love snow, possibly because I’m originally from northern Indiana, where snow in winter [...]
