Who’s telling the truth?
Election 2012, Part IV
Election 2012, Part III
Now that both the Donkeys and Elephants have convened and each has told us why they deserve to rule for the next four years, I’ve reached one conclusion:
The Democrats have better speechwriters!
The Republicans let their empty chair run amok!
Election 2012, Part II
There was an abundance of a RED gaseous substance emanating from New Orleans, LA these past few days. Word is that there will be an equal amount of a BLUE gaseous substance emanating from Charlotte, NC this coming week.
Where Have All the Ponies Gone?
They were last seen in May 2006 at Stoney’s Brewery in Smithton, PA being loaded onto an 18-wheeler bound for Newark, NJ. Truck driver said he had more to pick up in Latrobe, PA before heading back to NJ. 🙁
Election 2012
Left or Right? We’ll find out on the first Tuesday of November 2012 or shortly thereafter.
   
The Derecho
Nor’Easters, and Snowmageddons (and various tropical storms, hurricanes and the occasional tornado) have all paid us visits over the years, but this was our first Derecho. It left a massive amount of downed trees and power lines in its wake, causing wide-spread, prolonged power outages. Unfortunately, it also caused intermittent failures in a number of local 911 Emergency Telephone Call Centers. And some of the local Water Utilities issued warnings for residents and businesses to boil tap water before drinking it or using it for cooking.
We were without power for about 12 hours and had to boil tap water for two days. Our daughter and son-in-law were among the fortunate few who did not lose power, so we packed up the dogs and fled to their place, which in addition to having power and a working air conditioner, has a pool.
The pictures show what the Derecho did to some of the trees in our backyard…and an “Inspector Dog.”
