He Should Thank Me.

If you have been keeping up, you will remember last week when I returned from ICI that a tree crashed down - almost taking out a car. There had been a truck parking illegally, No Parking Anytime, in front of the telephone pole. I had asked him repeatedly not to park there as it blocks the view of an elderly widow lady when she is backing out of her driveway (I'm a good guy, I look out for my neighbors). So, the other night I'd gotten tired of him parking there - so I had him ticketed and towed. I don't think he was too happy as it was about $200+ to get his truck back.

Well, could have been a lot more money he would have to have spent repairing his truck . He should be thanking me.

Today, a lame telephone pole, that hadn't been removed yet - came crashing down. It's a telephone poll that had been "bent out of shape" during last years hurricane IKE. I imagine it would have done a lot more than $200 worth of damage to his truck. We've had a lot of rain in Texas lately, like a monsoon, so trees are getting uprooted from the ground being saturated, etc. In the last 24 hours alone, we have gotten almost 3" of rain.

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry, it was hosing.



Here is a pic of me and my little buddy Doc Holiday. The Min Pin who can. I got him a new toy recently that he really enjoys - although he is trying to bite the eyes off of it.
