Anyone going to watch 60 Minutes tonight? I will. A relative is going to be topic of a segment. Jon Krakauer, author of "Into the Wild", is trying to shine a bad light on Greg Mortenson (my relative), author and subject of books "Three Cups of Tea" and "Stones Into Schools".

Looking forward to relaxing with the show tonight. I'm very fortunate to have a tv and a homw to watch it, the tornadoes yesterday hit this area really hard. Some of my family lost homes, and a lot of my neighbors did, too. Our county's middle school was destroyed, and the high school was damaged badly. I'm hoping my Globetrotters don't get booted tonight, because that just may set me crying again lol!

Nerovh, that looked like a terrible time with all the tornadoes.. I've been thinking about those involved. Glad you personally are okay. Jon Krakauer irritates me when he gets into his finger-pointing mode (as he did in Into Thin Air.. I read a rebuttal book by one of those he was so critical of that helped to put things into perspective). Not saying he's right or wrong in this case, but I'll watch 60 min. Here's to safe Trotters!!

We were very lucky, several people were injured, but we didn't have any fatalities in our county. It's a true miracle with all the homes and businesses that were completely destroyed here that everyone will recover physically. It was terrifying to see multiple tornadoes touching down. The damage seems so random and capricious, some houses (mine included) completely untouched, while others close by were destroyed. It'll be a long road, but I think we'll all be ok ). Anyway, I'm looking forward to the show. I think it would really be a little pick-me up to see Viksen smack Kent upside the head and then for Phil to eliminate them. If they would just go, I'd be fine with whoever wins, although I'd prefer the GT's and then the Cowboys. Mallory's head might actually explode if she won, so maybe we should all hope they DON'T win!

Jet/Cord first say they want to be on the same flight as the others but they don't like that those flights have 2 connections so they take the slightly later flight with just 1 connection. Kent/Vyxsin in the travel agency but they are bickering. Vyxsin doesn't want to do that in front of the others so he tells her to just book the flight.

Kent/Vyxsin get to their cars first. They have a video on the MyTouch system to get next clue. Phil tells them the winners of this race will also win a Ford Focus As they back up, they see letters on the screen. Vyxsin writing the letters now. Schloss S... SCHALLABURG. They are heading to Schloss Schallaburg. (Castle Schallaburg) Kent gives the perfect soundbite for Ford, "I love this Ford Focus." The other teams getting it but Gary is confused about what he needs to do, he's looking at the GPS. Jet/Cord land and running for their car while Gary/Mallory are confused about what to do.

Gary/Mallory have their couch now and going. Kent/Vyxsin delivering their couch with Kent whining the whole way. They head off. Kisha/Jen pass them as they deliver their couch.

Back with Vyxsin telling Kent to get back on the highway and listen to her. FT/BE arrive and get clue. ROADBLOCK. One team member has to dress as a Chimney Sweep and climb to the roof. Use specialized weighted tool to brush out their chimney. Then they head downstairs to what was brushed out to get their clue. BIg Easy is doing the task for FT/BE. Kent/Vyxsin bickering a bit. Big Easy is working on his chimney now. He says he has never done anything like this in his life. All the other teams on their way. Gary/Mallory hoping the Roadblock is tough to do so that they can catch up. Big Easy finishes with the brushing of his chimney and now heads downstairs to get his clue. Drive themselves to Villa Trapp, the next pit stop for this leg of the race. FT/BE head out quickly. Zev is the Chimney Sweep and gets to work on his brushing. Kisha/Jen arrive and Kisha is going to do it. Kent/Vyxsin also arrive and Vyxsin is going to do it. Zev is on his last time through with the brush as the others arrive. Zev heads downstairs and gets his clue. Kisha and Vyxsin working. Kisha notes that it's very heavy. Zev/Justin head out and asking for directions for the Villa Trapp. Zev, "Let's not get lost." FT/BE get directions from a taxi driver. Both Kisha and Vyxsin getting their clues and heading out. Jet/Cord arriving now and Cord is going to do it. He jokes about looking good and chicks digging the look, "I think I may have found a new calling." FT/BG not sure where they are headed as are Zev/Justin. Zev/Justin are Team #1. They can't believe it and hug. They high five Phil. They have won their won 2011 Ford Focus each. They head out to check out their new cars. They say they are thrilled to have won those cars. Flight Time/Big Easy are Team #2. Phil says Big Easy looks like he wants to give up the whole race and Big Easy says, "No, I just wanted to be first." Jet/Cord are done now and headed to the pit stop. Gary/Mallory pass the Cowboys as they come inside. The Cowboys say they haven't seen anyone when Gary/Mallory ask if they've seen any other teams. Gary is doing the task for Gary/Mallory. Kisha/Jen go down a street they aren't supposed to go down... Kent/Vyxsin are Team #3. Gary gets done with his brushing and gets his clue. They head off to the pit stop. Jet/Cord are behind Kisha/Jen as they arrive at the Villa. Kisha/Jen and Jet/Cord are Teams #4 & #5. Jet/Cord say they need to step it up or go home. Gary/Mallory are the last team to arrive. They have NOT been eliminated though because this is a non-elimination leg. They will have a Speed Bump in the next leg. Mallory says they can't even say how happy they are to have another chance.

***sigh*** Forty-one years ago I took a ride on that ferris wheel. (No food involved.) And I saw the Von Trapp house from across the lake. We did go into the church where Maria was married. (In the film; don't remember if it was the actual RL church.) The church looked huge and the isle long in the film -- NOT.

I am serving notice on my Cowboys to get a clue about flights! While I have been happy to see them pull up from behind TWICE, I would be happier to see them pull up from un-behind in the future!
