"It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks" as the saying goes, and that's me! I see it and feel it going to my adult hockey camps and I see it in my day to day work and personal life.
 
I love the internet and I love email. (Truth be told, I hate writing long hand, so I love typing and love the immediacy of email). So the internet, no problem. Been using it for quite some time.  Then came "blogs and web stories" on our CNYcentral.com web site. Okay, I get it, that's where we're all headed so I'll start writing a few, and I have, like this one!
 
Then it was MySpace, now Facebook and Linkedin... sorry, I'm not quite there yet on those. The point is, there are so many ways to communicate a variety of messages now-a-days, which brings me to YouTube!  I'm not a huge YouTube person, but some of the video you find on YouTube of anything and everything can be fascinating, which brings me to this one video I got wind of (no pun intended) and just had to show you.
 
This is truly an amazing two minutes of weather video. This is apparently a video camera mounted on a train locomotive as the train heads into a tornado (at least that's what the YouTube description lists it as).  Tornado or microburst. Either way, this is something you have to see! Click the YouTube link below. Amazing!!
