Donna, yes, I am fine.   I was in Ames at the Perennial Saturday event as was 
Rich.   We were held up in the auditorium as the storms hit just as the event 
was over.   Just across the lawn was the ISU football game which kick off was 
scheduled for 6pm.   Many fans moved to an adjacent coliseum to wait until 
the storm passed and the game was delayed until 6:45pm.   Fortunately the storm 
did not touch down in this area. Thousands of people were tail gating, in the 
stands and just about the area.   Could have been disastrous. Skies were 
really nasty looking most of the way home and the winds are still excessive this 
morning.
     I do hope Rich did not drive home in the storm or the driving winds.
     There was one death in the village of Stratford and the community had to 
be evacuated due to gas leaks.
     I am still not getting all my mail.   Rich had sent a message via 
gardenchat which I never rcd.   I did email Chris sometime ago but never rcd a 
reply.
     BTW, Dan Heims was fabulous!!
     Ceres
