City Trashing Party

Rocky: Mother Nature has been having a city trashing party here in Indiana, but fortunately I've moved all my staff to high ground on mom's bed (The name of our city, Terre Haute, is French for "high ground") ....But I say, enough is enough, Mother Nature! Thursday you blew down all our trees ... and then last night you blew down more trees and dumped so much rain on us that a state of emergency has been declared in our county and all the highways in and out of our city are under water and closed, just like many of our city streets. Our beans have been told to stay home and not drive.

This is unacceptable!! What if I run out of nip or Temptations???

You can read more about mean old Mother Nature's city trashing party at these links. In the meantime, I'm hoarding an emergency stash of nip and Temptations ...

  4. So sorry about the terrible storms and knocking down all the trees and limbs. I am glad you are inside safely though. I snuck outside once in a winter storm, and it was terrible. I stay inside now. It is better to stay inside with nice water and food.

  7. Rocky, You are very smart to move your staff to higher ground. We hope your mom has planned for emergencies so you will not run out of your medicinal (stick to that) nip and treats.

    We could use some of that rain here! But we have no use for all of it. So be sure to keep some for yourselves and pass on leftovers to those in drought. Okay?
