Man moments…
Weather… standing out watching for storms… watching for tornados…the sirens… a man thing to go outside and look…

the siren doesn’t send a man to the basement stairs….it is a call… a call of the wild…a man invented that siren…

when the siren calls out loud and shrill, it is a call to the man to go to the front door…stand out on the porch…march to the center of the front yard… marvel at the trees bent in furious concert with the wind…. To see that greenish sky on the horizon and say….

Yup! Over there alright… dark greenish hanging clouds… we don’t know why it’s greenish… just know …cuz we are men…that it’s why the siren blew… called us out there to see it… man moments…

Dad never ever came down to the basement to huddle with mom and us kids. A tornado is big…Dad would use his Dad eyes and go see it for us.

He used his man ears to hear the siren and go obediently to the center of the front yard. The men of the neighborhood in a straight line formed by all of them standing out in the middle of their front yards….

We love the harsh threatening weather…. A hot boring day is for all to complain about.

Sincerely, JUDGE WYLD
