We were skipped over by the brief but intense storms that passed over our area last night. Funnel clouds were reported in many towns, and a tornado or two passed through Chicagoland. I believe that there were no serious injuries as a result of the weather.

We received a little rain here last night as well but I was unaware of the Illinois tornadoes because I forgot to watch the weather yesterday. I hope everyone is okay up there in the Land of Lincoln.

Off we go!

Today's Question(s):
Whether or not you spend time around children, are there kids television shows that you watch and enjoy?
If so, would you name three that you particularly like?
1.) On these very hot days, I know more about Spongebob and Patrick than who's running for President.
2.)
3.)


Bonus Question(s):
If you are eating potato chips, or crisps, do you prefer the flatter ones, or the folded ones? Or does it not matter to you? It matters not. I like 'em all but my health doesn't.


Just for Fun:
What was a song that was popular when you were in school?
The year I graduated from high school, I recall this song being popular:

Wishing everyone here good health and safety on this wet humpday on the South Plains.

We could desperately use some rain here in central Maryland. We got a little yesterday, but a half hour later everything was dry as a desert again. It's been a rather dry summer here, with a few scattered but severe thunderstorms.
Off we go!

I haven't watched any cartoons in years.

I prefer ridges but it doesn't matter that much.

When I was in high school Justin Bieber was insanely popular among the girls. Other than that, it seemed like just about every rap song could be heard. To have a dislike for it like I did was heresy.

I watch a show about kids, "South Park," but not one for kids.

Not much of a potato chip eater, never buy them, but if I have any outside I like the ones with the ridges.

Chips, nothing beats the good ol' greasy Lays chips. I don't like baked. Actually home made chips are the best, I love making my own.
Happy Wednesday everyone~~~

I'm in school,12nd grade. The "mainstream" song in my classroom is a song I don't know its name, on 8th grade, Bruno's "Doo-wops and hooligans" album was mainstream in my class, 11th grade, Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud", Meghan's "All about that bass", Magic's "Rude", Sam's "I'm Not The Only One", and RAN's (indonesian band) "Dekat Di Hati" ("close to the heart") were the top playlists in the classroom music chart. No offense, I prefer oldies than most of nowadays songs despite the fact I'm only 17!
