Mom asked today if I were nervous. I told her no. I have more mundane things to worry about. Namely whether my house will be left standing after this windstorm. It flipped our picnic table (not a little plastic one either), the neighbor's basketball hoop, and the newest casualty, our satellite dish. Between the curtains moving and the house creaking I heard this metal tearing sound. Didn't even get the opportunity to say, "What the hell was that?" when the TV started searching for a signal. The wind took the dish and wrenched it 180 degrees from where it was, so it's now pointing upside down. So much for hockey. So much for anything really. Hopefully when the spouse gets home we'll risk our lives and try to point it in the right direction again. Mom warned me to put rocks in my pockets if I go outside. I can see why. Thank goodness for underground utilities, otherwise we'd have all sorts of other problems. Yes, I do like my easements, I do indeed!
