Storm damage



As you can see, it's difficult to tell how much damage is done until that tree is removed. Doesn't look good though.

Checking in

No post for a long time. Was sick for almost a month, a case of walking pneumonia I think, but somewhat better now. Took a round of Cipro which seemed to clear up the deeper congestion. Now, just normal old breathing problems, which are severe enough.

And, bad weather to spare. Storms, rain out the ass. Big wild cherry tree down across the back of my house and on my travel trailer. Don't think it did a lot of structural damage (can see one broken rafter on the outside roof of the bathroom), but can't tell until it's cleaned up. Insurance man supposed to come in the morning to look at it, and my brother Jerry will come with his chain saw and remove it when he gets time.

Also, a number of other tree tops down in the back yard, blown off the fence line to the west. Wind in the 70-80 mph range, those trees can't bear up to that. Weather better now, anyway, though I think we had a little shower blow through early this morning.

Apparently, the gov picked off bin Laden a few days ago. I say apparently because they've offered no real proof of it. Obama decided not to show pictures of him with his brain hanging out; either because we're too immature to see such things, or because it might inflame the Islamic world and make them wish to hurt us. Like they don't anyway.

If the government is so afraid of retaliation, maybe they shouldn't kill any more terrorists. Maybe we should all hide in a hole. But isn't that the goal of terrorism, to terrify us to the point where we can't lead normal lives?

Seems to me they win if that's the case.
