I Saw Dorothy's House, I Swear
We had one helluva storm go through our neighborhood last night. Driving down our road, the neighbors were all out sweeping leaves and branches off cars, cutting fallen over trees, generally cleaning up. It literally looked like a tornado went through the place.
We had a neighbor who had a tree not only go down and clip the corner of his house, but took out his car as well. Another neighbor had a tree go into a bedroom of his house.
Here's what's annoying: We have an old, dead oak in our front yard. It needs to come down. Do you think it fell over? Noooo...damn thing is solid. Didn't even lose any branches. Just some leaves blew off and that was it, so it's still going to cost me $400 to have someone take it down. Why couldn't have Mother Nature taken care of it for me??
In other news, I'm on VACATION starting tomorrow!!! Yeah baby! Going to the Big Apple to visit my brother for a nice long weekend, then I'll be kicking back around the house for a few days when I get back. Woohoo! First real vacation I've had in almost 2 years. The last two "vacations" were spent sitting by my dad's hospital bed. So those don't count.
