Happy anniversary to Mr. Roughhouse’s large cabbage! As some of you might remember, I was summoned to Sharon this past spring to capture in photograph a 25 pound cabbage grown by the one and only Mr. Roughhouse. However, I was very disheartened to hear that this year, due to several cold spells we’ve had, the cabbages won’t be nearly as big as before. So, I scoured the county to find some equally winning news worthy of putting us on the map (or into Weekly World News) and I think I’ve found something.

So, without further ado, I’ll introduce you to my new friend, Mr. G from Gleason, and tell you a little bit about what he created in his backyard.

Last night, I had the privilege of getting a peek at Mr. G’s top secret project to escape any nasty tornadoes in the area and was completely blown away (ha) by what I think might quite possibly be the most amazing and creative storm shelter I’ve ever seen.

It’s a little dark, but do you realize what you’re looking at? Mr. G managed to take a school bus and bury it in the ground, gut it, put in comfortable seats and backup lighting AND cable television to weather all those nasty tornadoes and take every other boring storm shelter, well, to school! Amazing!!!!!
