How GenCon saved my life. Probably.

Last week, I left on Wednesday to head down to GenCon instead of my normal Thursday. When I leave to head south I typically depart the Madison are at about 4-5pm.

Last Thursday, while I was safe in Nerdville running for Mayor, -40- tornadoes touched down in southern central Wisconsin. This happened at exactly the time I'd be driving through that area. It'd be a pretty long gauntlet; it take about 45-50 minutes to get from Madison to the great state of Illinois, where they've apparently been keeping up with their No Tornadoes bill.

It would have been uncool, to drive through these storms. I have a few pictures of damage, but I probably won't post them. Imagine houses made of matchsticks, and someone grinding them up.

Apparently, that's another way I wasn't meant to "merge with the infinite"; a tornado accident, or a car crash. When I have a bit of time, I'll write something about the car crash thing.
