Anyway on other news, I have been so preoccupied by work this past week I have not had time or daylight to deal with the inconvenient results of this week’s windy weather. I arrived home late Wednesday night to find a tree had fallen across the road and into my front yard, knocking out the power lines as it fell. I spent a cold night without power or lights and still had to make it to work the next morning. Needless to say Wednesday was by far not a good day for me. But I did find some humor that evening, even if it was of my own stupidity. After driving into my driveway that night rolling over downed power lines just to get to my house I decided to check out the damage with my flashlight. Mind you I was extremely tired, had an awful day at work, and was not running on all eight cylinders upstairs. I walked into the yard viewed the fallen tree and in the process stumbled over something in the dark. I reached down and picked it up without thinking. Yup, I picked up the end of the severed power line. I held it in my hand looking at it for a second before it registered that I should not have done that. Luckily the wire was not hot. Sometimes I wonder how I have lived this long and I often ponder as to the exact numbers in the army of angles that must be looking over me. I sometimes selfishly wonder what great future roll God has for me since He has spared my life these many times.
Q: If a tree falls in the road does it make a sound if no one is home?
A: Yes, as long as someone heard it.
Dangling power lines.
I think I picked this one up.
