So long St Louis

So after a full dress rehearsal Thanksgiving dinner we bid the DeJean's we made it to Tuscaloosa today.

Many thanks to Rog, Claire, Harvey, Troy, Sano and Roger (Julie too but she didn't make the photo session).  Was a great dinner (you can never practice too much for Thanksgiving) and visit.

We went to see "Tornado Alley" at the OmniMax on our last day.  I liked it but it helps to be a weather geek to like that one.  We saw better tornado footage 29 years ago at the FAA academy weather class.

There is yet another crucial sporting event here today.  Bama Vs LSU.  Should have the result before I finish this.  No photos from here yet, see what I can do tomorrow.  Just saw Bama lose in overtime, sad faces around here.  Oh well, it's just squiggley ball.

Stay well
