TIE O’ THE DAY was impossible for me to create for a few days this week. As you may have heard, Centerville was the recipient of some bigly winds which began on Monday night. The worst winds were more or less constant for nearly 18 hours. We got at least one 100 MPH gust, but most of the gusts were in the 75 MPH range. It was no surprise when the power went out FOR DAYS, taking the internet with it. Even our cell phones were stunted and could not entertain us. Posts about neckwear and/or Mom simply could not happen. Personally, I was most put-out by not being able to watch television. In fact, I was in such tv withdrawal that I finally managed to hook up a small tv in my car to get my fix of the local news. I thought I’d be okay again when the power came back on, but I wasn’t. The power going off and on blew up my Directv box, so I’m without all the good tv channels until the replacement receiver shows up. Oh, boy! My life is difficult, eh?
These pix are just a taste of the wind-devastated foliage in our neighborhood. This tree went down just north of us. Apparently, part of the sprinkler system in the grass got pulled up with it.
