Buffalo, Day 7: Of Holy Rollers, Hospitals, and High Winds

Attended an organized religious service ths morning with my mom, for the first time in about oh... three years?  (Aside from my grandfather's funeral service, but that's a whole different kettle of kippers.)  Needless to say it reinforced my feelings about most oranized religion , thouh I'll be back yet again tomorrow for the candelight service with the family.

After that we got a surprise phone call that my grandmother had been taken to the emergency room with chest pains, although after many hours there and a few tests they decided it was some issue with her sternum and not her heart, and a few doses of vicodin were in order.

Tonight the temperature has plunged from a high in the mid 50s at about 1 pm down to the mid 20s, and the winds are in the 40 mph range with gusts over 60, and changed from a steady downpour that melted all the snow into new lake-effect snow blowing every direction except straight down.  Nasty weather, and a ood niht to stay in and avoid the sure-to-be slick roads.  I guess it just wouldn't be a December for me without a wind storm or two!
