This awesome B-17 bomber spent an entire afternoon flying over our house (very low over our house) a few weekends ago. It was part of an airshow at Centennial airport. Apparently, if you made a donation to the museum you got a free ride in the plane. I got awesome views of the bomber all day as I was building Anna’s sandbox in the back yard.

Well, it’s not really a tornado, but it is a funnel cloud… right behind our house. I lived in Texas for 19 years and never saw a single tornado or funnel cloud until now… in Colorado… 9 years after leaving Texas. More pictures here.

Here’s a video that Dorrie made for me of my Belgian Tripel-style ale fermenting in the brewery bathroom. This was early on in the fermentation. The bubbles came even more frequently (about 140/minute) later on.

Check out the inside of my face. Look at all the squiggly stuff. I don’t think it’s supposed to be like that.
