I just now finally got the picture to load of the guy with the ladders up in the tree.. WTF... That belongs on a fail blog somewhere. So much wrong with that.
I was told that my paternal grandfather-- who was a very large man back in those days-- was on a ladder that was on the roof of the porch so he could reach up higher. I think he was painting. The ladder apparently slid off and fell to the ground while standing upright and started to tip back. My grandmother reached out the window and grabbed the ladder to pull it back toward the house so it wouldn't fall over and land on my grandfather. It was a wooden ladder and, according to the story, he ended up falling straight down through the ladder while breaking every single rung on the way down. I don't know if there was any truth to that story, but I always found it amusing. I'm thinking it is actually BS but it has some amusing mental imagery.
Rusty, thanks for the link. I'll go sign up.
The weather here has been pretty crappy. It was really pouring rain hard yesterday. I was just leaving the store with a few groceries. There were people standing inside waiting for the rain to let up and I knew it would be awhile so I shouted "Once more into the breach!" and dashed out. I got totally drenched. The bottoms of my pantlegs are still wet from yesterday. My dryer decided to stop working so I couldn't throw them in. But we are no longer out of soy sauce so it was worth it. Right now there is loud thunder and its been raining. It doesn't play nicely with my satellite internet. And its hot so I've been sweating like crazy. Hot humid weather sucks.
My sister lives in New Mexico where it is nice and dry but she goes to Florida once per year to go to Disneyworld. She has some sort of timeshare thing or something. She took my mother a couple of years ago.
Last night I got free breadsticks because we are temporarily housing a friend who works at Pizza Hut. He's the one who is going to help me with the snap ring when it arrives.
Ooh, pretty clouds and sky.
