The Doppler

I was recognising Shabbat the other night with my attendance at a friend's Jewish thingy, as I sometimes do. Just after the service and before digging in to my Matzah Balls, we hear these very, very loud sirens ringing. So everyone was looking out the windows as the winds picked up. Not having heard these sirens before, I was informed that they were tornado warnings. (You hear these sirens all over the city). This is when I proclaimed, without thinking, "Man, I thought the Nazis were coming". Then I relaised where I was. I quitely ate my Matzah Balls. Despite what the news will tell you, nothing much came of these warnings.

Butler University and the city of Indianapolis have been hosting the NCAA Final Four this weekend. This is the end of the road for the the four teams with the best winning record in the National Collegiate Basketball Association; three games with last nights final producing the national champions.

As you can see below, the city put on a lot of celebrations including a free concert of local boy, John Cougar Mellancamp. He actually lives in the county below us. It was good to hear the classics. Just as the concert was ending the sirens signalled again. I made it home to the basement, but you will notice from the picture above that others didn't fare quite so well.
