niknotes:  I only have a minute before I have to leave for Special Olympics, but I wanted to briefly tell you about our good fortune this weekend.  Yesterday, on our way to Grandmama's house, we pulled up to a stoplight behind a purple mini-van with flashing lights (not flashing at the time, but potential flashing lights, a light bar like police cars have) with a SKYWARN emblem.  My first hope was to take a picture of it through my windshield for Jack to view over and over.  Well, the light changed, and the van was too far ahead for a good picture so I followed it.  Yep.  Stalking the SKYWARN van for my tornado fan.  Luckily, it pulled into Lenora Park, right on our way.  And I jumped out and met A.J. Harrison, the coordinator of Gwinnett Skywarn.  Jack told him some safety rules and how much he loves tornadoes.  Luckily, I had the Twisters and Other Deadly Storms book that MaryRose sent Jack for his birthday, to further prove I wasn't some run of the mill stalker.  Mr. Harrison was quite pleased to talk about what he does, but his 12-year old son abandoned us all for the batting cage right away, despite being a certified storm spotter.  So we got the website: http://home.attbi.com/~skywarn.gwinnett.ga.  Also, I mentioned Career Day at Jack's school, and Mr. Harrison seemed quite interested.  He said, "That's what we do!  We love to educate people about tornadoes."  Oddly, or maybe not, Mr. Harrison is also a train fanatic.  I wonder if we've stumbled upon the first stone of Jack's career path here.  Even if not, the meeting was certainly fortuitous considering Jack's current obsession. 
 
P.S. Spiderman was written by a man who studies spiders.  Now we know lots of stuff about spiders.
