[Mgs] OT - tornado

[Glenn Schnittke]

Dave,

Glad you and your family are okay. I've been through three and a half of 
them and they aren't fun. The ones I've been through have made me think 
about where to buy a house. I don't know where you are, Dave, but buying 
a house on the windward side of a hill from the climatic prevailing 
winds is a good idea. I've had two of them jump over my house and land 
on the other side and move on. Sheer luck I was living where I was. If 
you're living in tornado country it's something to think about.

Now I live in flood country. Nashville. Thankful again, we happened to 
buy a house 200 ft. over the level of Percy Priest Lake. If the water 
gets as high as us, well, hell, there ain't no Nashville left to worry 
about! We're all on our own and in boats. Of course, if a tornado comes 
through, we'll be sitting targets because we're on the top of the ridge ...

You pick your battles. Now I'm trying to sell a Series I XJ6 that lives 
in flood country. Nashville. Waddya think my chances are? And it's 
really a nice car. MG content: the XJ6 kept me getting to work while the 
B was under the knife for resto a few years ago. And last week I fried 
the electrical system in the B while changing out the brake light 
pressure switch. Guess what got me to work. I know it's not very 
flattering MG content, but it's MG content and it wasn't the MG's fault. 
It was mine.
