Damn, I want to be a tornado/storm chaser! I'm watching a show about them on TLC right now and I love it! lol As long as I was assured of not dying or getting hurt, it would be so cool! lol Of course, I live in the perfect area for it, don't I, Nano? You & I probably know better than anyone else on here what they are like. :( Stupid May a couple of years ago. Kat's dad's house went kapoot, my parents lived right there, could have gotten killed. :shudder:

Really?

My friend Teri and I have talked for years about doing that when she and I get out of the military :) Take a couple weeks and drive around OK and Kansas.

IL isn't too shabby on them either. I remember a few growing up (and one when I was back home visiting) that were fun to watch.

my brother and his friend were part of the Civil Defense team here in stillwater... Basically Storm chasers, although they did little storm chasing.

Was fun with the 2meter Ham radios though. :)

That would be awesome to do storm chasing type stuff. I watched that show on TLC about it and wanted to do it as well.

I'm in. Something about the thrill and the raw power of nature. I think that you can book a storm chase through some travel agents.

:D

Does someone actually pay you for storm chasing?

Yeah, but you get paid on commission, so you have to catch them to make any money. :P

If you're gonna be a photographer for a magazine, why not PlayBoy?

Hey sho.gun, have you ever thought of buying a barge, taking it down to the Amazon river, and just living off of the river in isolation for the rest of your life?

sigh... that would be sooo cool... but then again why am i going to school now? I think I just want to live a nice a peaceful life, where I don't have to worry about a lot of things. Kinda like moving to one of the Roatan islands in Honduras and be a simple fisherman. All I gotta worry about is getting food to my table, no bills, no new technological stuff that makes me want to spend money on, no air pollution, stuff like that. The amazon is a bit more dangerous, but it'd still be cool.

:) but :(
