“Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience.” ~ Bruce Lee (Thanks Fran’s Daily Quotes)
There are times when things are BOTH a Catastrophe AND an Inconvenience? After all, why limit bullshit to just ONE?
Yesterday and to a lesser degree today, the wind has taken a toll on many of the older trees in this community. Very specifically, an old tree (think at least 80 years old) took out at least 3 other trees in front of my home last night. In the dark, rainy and windy night.
It is quite disconcerting to hear that CRACK that foretells the falling of a tree. It is quite distinct. Once you’ve heard it, you never forget it. Kinda like a tornado.
I love my trees and will miss this one. So will the birds in my yard. In fact, I saw a woodpecker, walking up and down the trunk as if to figure out what exactly happened.
My other catastrophe/inconvenience? My basement flooded. Standing water that comes in just long enough to fuck things up,but doesn;t stick around long enough to be pumped out.
Just More Bullshit. Happy Wednesday!
Thanks for reading!
