Tornados in Milwaukee!

I was in the lab grinding salvia divinorum leaves, when I heard on the radio the warning alert system, I used to hear it in Mexico as a test, but never for a real situation.

This time was different and they were broadcasting a tornado alert, very close to our place to not to worry.

Fortunately my boss was here and I asked him about the possibility of a tornado in this area. He just answered:

"Umm... between summer and winter we have a lot of tornadoes in Wisconsin"

and I was like:

"What?!!"

Then he said:

"I didn't want to tell you this before because you probably wouldn't come to Wisconsin, but don't worry, tornadoes usually kill around 50 people a year"

Am I supposed to be relieved by that?

I barely squeezed through the H1N1 flu to be here and be killed by a tornado?

Come on!!

Any comments would be appreciated, specially on how to make a tornado-proof shelter.

More about Salvia

This last Thursday was a rough day. It seemed as if all the world was against me. But I think this wasn't just my personal view, some of the people that I know had a bad Thursday also.

I have a theory about this, I think that the universe has it's negative lapses, and that day was one of those breaks on our imperfect existence. It even took part of Friday's time to things begin returning to it's "regular" status.

I'm not sure if this is true, since I can't have contact with everybody all over the world to hold this as a fact.

If you agree with me, let me know on the messages box. Even if you don't agree, let me know, don't be shy.

I'm here to learn.

As an example for this, that day we got a huge order of salvia extracts from Belgium, paid through Paypal. We didn't even have time to smile when Paypal reversed the payment, arguing that it was for our safety. We really hope that all this is a misunderstanding and get this customer back to re-order.

I feel as if the guy above is playing with us, just like we play with dogs hanging a piece of meat at a height a little higher than it can reach, just to have fun watching it jump.

What do you think?
