I had the right eye a few days ago. My eye is still dilated. Colors are outstanding due to my eye remaining dilated. This does explain the intense colors of acid in my mid teens.

In the Beginning of the Tornado Aftermath

During the first weeks after the tornado hundreds showed up to help including church groups from rural areas in the Midwest. People organized themselves into groups to provide donations and food. Many people like Chad Jackson and Jake Wheeler started tarping roofs. For free. Others delivered meals.

Some took photos and left. A friend asked me WTF was I doing 'up in north city at night.'
