Oddly enough, my state of Ohio is now under a state of emergency so we can receive federal aid. I wish I was not busy surviving my crazy overnight job the past few days or I would’ve thought to walk around with my camera to share with you how my neighborhood looks.
I did get a kick out of driving to work on Sunday afternoon and seeing what I first thought were odd giant brown leaves that I later figured out were corn stalks/husks…whatever…blowing all around interstate I-70. How country is that? lol 
Not exactly what I would’ve seen traversing over along I-95 along the northeast corridor. HI to the LARIOUS!!!

Wow affrodite! i had no idea what was going on in OH. i can’t believe you have to survive. wassup there?

Take care of yourselves out there because obviously the gov’t isn’t too concerned. Thoughts and prayers.
