Looks like we are well and truly into tornado season, what with the deadly twisters last week at Granbury, Texas and more touching down last night near Oklahoma City and near Wichita, Kansas.
The only good thing to come from this devastation is that it has reminded me of an old friend, one I haven’t seen or spoken to in almost forty years. His name is Rick Temple, and we worked together at 3M in the early 70s.
The twisters reminded me of Rick because he announced one day that he had figured out that Tornadoes are attracted by Aluminum.
I asked him what made him come up with that theory, and he said “Have you ever seen a news report on a tornado that didn’t hit a trailer park or a small private airport?”
