Well, it got a little hairy last night. The winds were high, and it rained so hard you couldn’t see five feet in front of you. However, when the hail started, we went to the basement. I was following everything on my radio (amateur radio, call sign N0DBH) and tornadoes were being spotted in numerous locations. Fairview had some damage but it could have just been wind shear. We’re all okay and there’s no apparent damage here at home.

Fairview made the news. Here’s News Channel 5′s report.

I took a few pictures of the hail, but we headed to the basement pretty quickly. Here they are on flickr.

Well, Fairview had it’s world famous Christmas parade Saturday. We had marching bands, JROTC, cheerleaders, clowns, muscle cars (boys and their toys), firetrucks, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, politicians, businesses, and horses. Who could ask for more? Timothy, my son, was in the Fairview Marching Band. The picture to the left is him as he marched by. I’ve included all the pictures on my flickr account. You can see the pictures here.

That’s my youngest, Timothy – playing the horn on the Fairview High School Marching Band and he’s not even in high school yet. They just had a competition in Pulaski this weekend and came in third. They did a great job. He’s loving every minute of it. To see more pictures of the band, go to their website and there are plenty of pictures. Great job, Sound O’ Gold !!!
