Anyone ever heard of a Calimocho? It's a Spanish drink that combines equal parts red wine and cola in a high ball glass with ice. I think I remeber hearing of this before, tasting it, and thinking it reminded me of steak sauce.
I'll have to give it another try... this one intrigues me...

Dr. Insecta
I vaguely remember holding a tarantula during a pre-school field trip. Somewhere there's a picture as proof. But I got a chance to re-create that moment yesterday here at the station when Dr. Insecta stopped by for a noon show visit. He brought with him some friends!
To be honest, I wasn't as scared as I thought I'd be. I'd rather hold a spider than a snake i think.
Mom, send me that picture from pre-school!

Storm Pictures.
Kyle and I love getting all the storm reports, pictures and video from our viewers during severe weather events. Yesterday we got so many, that it was hard to keep up with them all. So today I took time to look at each and every picture and try to decipher what was going on at the time.
In most of the pictures, because they don't show the movement, it's really hard to see much of anything besides some scary, dark clouds. A few manage to capture a funnel cloud or wall cloud, which is very helpful to us!
This one was sent in by Carmen Pinks in Harrod. Carmen pointed out the figure taking shape in the clouds and it's not hard to recognize this one! An ape face! Very interesting... maybe we can blame this guy for the storms!

Current Reads.
There's a new club in Limaland.. and it's for the girls of WLIO and the WLIO wives. We started a book club! A once a month get together for food, wine and literary chatter.
First up? The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. This book was previously featured in Oprah's book club. Although I'm only on page 24 of 972, I think I'll like it. (We might be a little overambitious with this thick read, but we'll give it a shot!) It's set in 13th century England and follows a mason family through the 40 years it takes to build a cathedral. For a girl like me who loves this Old English historical fiction, this seems like a good read.
We've given ourselves a two month deadline for this one... read along with us!
