Alright now we have a storm worth a thing or two!
Yesterday at 6:20am the lights went out at our house right before i left. It finally turned on today at 10:30am or so. 30 hrs of no power! We went to a play production that my neighbors kid was in and that theater was running on generators and car powered inverters, there were a few blackouts but handheld flashlights kept the show going.
Thanks to the multitude of candles and a manually lit gas stove and running water, it wasn't that bad at home. A little chilly but thats about it. The In-laws purchased 3 cases of costco firewood that worked out for us, woo! Now its time for some smores!
Anyhow going back to yesterday, i drove delilah to work and the parking spot i noticed one thing. Delilah is sitting under a tree. While it wasn't a youngin it wasn't a monsterous old growth either. As i walked off i wonder if the tree was gonna tumble. Lo n behold it did.
Instead of landing down the winds moved it forward right between delilah and a BMW, with the branches resting on the bmw's trunk. Woo nellie! It's neat to see rain heading uphill, also the amount of downed lines, trees, accidents, it got pretty thick.
Now to my dream, i had 2 but only remembered one. I was driving on surface streets with Roz and the lane merges instantly. Well this lady just decides to fly up on in at us. I avoid slightly and our front corner panels and mirror touch. She looks at us and had that scared-and-sorry expression on her face. Like you don't notice a bright yellow car right next to you? As we're merging, i hear this honking and screaming from behind. So we pull over and the lady tells us shes sorry and she didn't see. The car behind with the honking and swearing had this HUGE 350+ pound lady swearing and cussing at her, saying 'can't you see!.., what kind of driver are you!.. what the $@#!...' I remember turning to Roz and saying, Dang shes HUGE!
hahhaa
