just a general whine...

1.30 am and I'm awake and I don't know why...

Awful day yesterday. Dust storm came through, turned the sky all yellow, blew down part of the fence, blew down the yucca in the front yard, about blew me off the road when I was driving... and then when the dust cleared up, just turned bitter cold. But that dust issue was very hard to deal with... not dense enough to cause major visibility probs, but it was getting a little hard to breath, And I think Lubbock Texas blew over the top of the house...

Of course, none of this is terribly uncommon, just winters last shout. Our last frost date is March 15, so everything should be warming up for good in a couple of weeks...

It was 80 degrees outside for a couple of days last week. Of course, I had caught this flu bug that was going around, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as everyone else, but it was nice...

Man, I didn't start a blog so that I could have a podium to whine!

Funny story... the cat, last Thursday, went running outside about 10 PM. Now as usual, this involves bolting out the door at top speed... Unfortunately, the spot outside was already occupied by one of the local opposums. Little cat bounced into the air three times about 5 feet skreaching at a decibal I haven't heard in a while. Possum just looked around like he was thinking... "What's the problem?" then wandered off. Seriously, I was laughing my head off.

Did hear that my friend Deb and her new husband were in a car wreck... bashed into by an illegal alien who of course doesn't have a liscense , much less insurance. Deb was in the ER all day, and when the cops showed up, they just let the illegal alien leave ... So now Deb is filing with internal affairs.

Drama... Drama... everywhere, HUH?
