Actually, we have had an F 1 on occasion. I may have a picture somewhere. We do have Chinook winds, that can get as high as an F 1...builder's are aware, and build for those conditions. I can't say we don't feel the house swaying. The swaying keeps things together!

Your last sentence reminded me of when I worked in a 60-story business tower in the city (that job was up to 2001). Anyway, the towers are actually meant to sway (a smidge--you probably wouldn't even notice it) in the higher winds, as a safety feature. I'm not an architect, but it's interesting to note that up on (I think it was up on the 58th or 60th floor) they had they gigantic magnets that would move in the higher winds. Don't ask me how, but those magnets moving were a very important safety feature of that office tower, as I was told at the time. That's all I know about it.

When you're doing that, I'll be home with an extreme case of jetlag...:rolleyes:

Have fun. Where are you going?

We're staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for 4 nights, Kidani Village for 7 nights, and then final 4 nights a BLT. Plus I'll have 5 more days to "recover" afterward as I'm taking 3 weeks off from work - woohoo! :D

I'll be sure to post pics to help you get through your jet lag. :p

Awesome! BLT is one of our home resorts; love it! I've stayed at Jambo, but never Kidani. Let us know how you like it. :)

These Chuck Norris facts are HILARIOUS!!! :hilarious: The funny thing is that I find that series even more hysterical years after it went off the air. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to find a rerun on some channel. :joyfull:

Funny story, when George W. was stumping to become President he did a train tour through Ohio. He made a stop in my town but I knew I couldn't get to it on time due to work. Luck had it the train was running behind and I got home a few minutes before the it passed my house. Me and my family hoofed it to the edge of the tracks to wave as it passed by.

Surprisingly the train was moving rather slow but we kept waving. The end was coming and we didn't see anybody until....standing outside at the very back of the caboose was George and Laura Bush and **** and Lynne Cheney. We were in shock! :eek: They waved back and George W. said "Hello, how are you?" I just kept waving like a dork and said "How are you?" :facepalm: He said "Good." then they were gone. That was awesome. I still am amazed the four were back by themselves but I'm sure they were surprised to see the three of us waving from a field. Nowadays security probably would have arrested us for being so close to the tracks.

That's a really pleasant experience you had. Yah, I'll bet those whistle stop tours will be a thing of the past with the craziness going on in the world now. Thanks for sharing that story.
