I have to stress that I am NOT overly emotional at this time. I just ran a couple of errands and was amazed at the things I saw. More after the jump.

The wife and I went in search of a humidifier so basically the route was Target (fail on the humidifier), Sears (win) and up Marsha Sharp past the Country Club golf course and home (there's a nice little neighborhood over here on top of where the tornado hit in the 70's)
