I am launching LaneBailey.info. I have been playing around with some of the features for a couple of weeks… off and on, mostly off… and finally decided what I was going to do with it a few days ago.

Tree down near Lilburn
Luckily, in this case it wasn’t onto a house. Our neighbors lost a 125+ year old tree in the side yard. It fell out into the street and covered the driveway. It had been a magnificent tree.
WSB-tv came by and saw the tree and used it as a backdrop for their live remote during the 5:00 and 6:00 news.
Garrett and I lent a bit of a hand. Several of the other neighbors were out there before we found out about the damage. I also had to run and get a fresh chain for my chainsaw… burning through the branches was a bit too slow.
WSB shoots our tree
There were lots of tree down in Gwinnett County and even in Lilburn. Another neighbor suffered damage to her house when a tree came down on top of it. There were several homes damaged by trees falling in the wind.
Keep in mind that tornados aren’t the only thing that takes down trees and does damage. Straight line winds can also be quite dangerous.

Kari Lehtonen in Goal for the Thrashers
Tonight was the last game of the 2008-2009 Atlanta Thrashers season. It was plenty of fun to watch the Thrashers beat the Lightning 6-2… And it most likely also marked our last game as Season Ticket holders.
Gail and I bought Season Tickets back in 2001, with the help of some of our friends, as a wedding present to each other. But, with the softness of the real estate market… it really doesn’t look like we’ll be renewing.
What the Hail!?!

The crew was out in Sugar Hill this evening visiting with some out of town family when the skies became angry…
Lightning flashed. Thunder rolled. Rain fell. Hail pelted. 
Severe thunderstorms rolled through much of the Atlanta area this evening. Luckily, we all escaped damage, but it was quite a show as the clouds roiled in the sky and winds blew in different directions.
Dump Internet Explorer…

Ok, you don’t have to dump it completely, there might be a few sites that you may need it for, but…
The VAST majority of websites will display and function better with FireFox.
I have to keep Internet Explorer because of the two Multiple Listing Services I belong to. And there is one other site I use that doesn’t seem to be compliant with IE… but every other site I use is better, faster and stronger on FireFox.
