The good doobie takes the rubbish bins out to the sidewalk so, ok, get on with that. I left the gate open because the dog was inside and I had left him there deliberately to prevent excursions.
As I walked back to the gate, I saw Toby the Dog skulking off the other way with his tail between his legs. I told him, man, that's one bad-looking sky and this is a really bad idea. Of course, he didn't listen. I walked back to the house thinking, dumb ass, you know you're going to get wet.
It wasn't me. Yevette had been sleeping and didn't know I was outside. It was just a mix-up so Toby the Dog makes a break.
So then there's the update: it won't just be thunderstorms but big ones with seventy mph winds.
Yevette came back to say, 'no good deed goes unpunished' ... and of course not but the payback wasn't finished yet.
Just before the storm started big-time, Toby the Dog showed back up again so he must have been using those keen dog senses because he timed it perfectly and didn't get wet.
Then I decided would be a good time to feed him because there was still enough left to get him started. That's when I discovered the garbage can with a sealed top which is used for storing his food had been knocked over again.
Some feline or felines figured out if it / they knock over the can, it will pop the top off it and that gives them access to the dog food. Maybe it was a 'coon but I haven't seen one. Most likely it was a felonious feline determined to commit dog food theft.
They're clever li'l bastards but it still bites my butt. Don't be stealin' food from my dawg! That ain't rart!
Refrain from Yevette: no, no, that ain't rart. (That sounds like 'right' in the North but y'all talk like you sit on the wrong end of a pogo stick)
Then to fetch the dog food from the car to feed that rascal inside.
No, that ain't happening because the storm was roaring by then ... and my well-placed rubbish bins were now on their sides and there was rubbish from here to Timbuktu.
Another refrain from Yevette: no good deed goes unpunished.
Any storm that intense blows by quickly and right about that time some helpful weathercaster announced, heya, better watch out for the wind. Those cans are going over.
Well, thank for that head's up ... y'all (larfs).
Everything I could see has been restored to its rightful place in the rubbish bin and they are now back where they were. Toby the Dog is warm and dry and laughing his ass off.
All together now in a gesture of sincere sympathy: oh, my achin' ass!
For the remainder of the morning, I will not be available for any further misery and will cheerfully amuse myself in whatever way I will.
One consideration is whether to put some of the recent techno songs on the "Ride the Dragon" CD. They're frivolous and strictly for fun but "My Girlfriend's Cat Ate Me Bacon" is a personal favorite and it uses a real police emergency call.
That kind of material is something I do for giggles and I don't take techno all that seriously. There were contests on MacJams sometimes to discover who could put together the coolest techno song in five minutes and there were some surprisingly good ones. A guitar takes forty years and techno takes five minutes so, nope, I don't take it seriously.
It's still mixed because the song is kind of cool. There is also "There Will Come a Time" but that one is a dredging of the past although less than ten years. The reason for adding it is the overall flow of the CD and this pushes a more album-oriented vibe.
That's the live project and it isn't really just to see if it gets banned although it would amuse me. The content is serious and shame on 'em if they ban it (larfs). I doubt any of you thought it was obscene in any way and the only objective in that aspect is to show how puerile the environment in Facebook. The banning almost certainly had nothing to do with the image and it was just used as a tool because that's how they play. It's not a big deal but it's unusual that such an incredibly large system can be so banal.
iTunes may want the CD classified as adult because of the image and fair enough. There's nothing "X" about the music. It's not an envelope I particularly need to push. The image isn't for children even though I don't believe it would do them the faintest harm. That's only for the parent to say and also fair enough; it's not my right to insist. It's when Facebook acts like a parent and not even a good one, that's when I get pissed.
As in any crowd, there will be some variable number of shitscreams but there are good people in Facebook as well so it's a balance.
Onward to indolence and please don't blow over those damn bins again. Could have been worse as there was a solid tornado hit not so far from here and it wasted half a dozen trailer homes. Fortunately, no-one was killed and only a few people were injured.
So, rather than looking for a break, I shall commence a new new plan of stay low and wait for it to get quiet. Tallyho!

70mph winds. Thats kite flying weather. Unless you see a cow fly by no worries
I wasn't too bugged but Yevette was headed for the bathtub. There was some talk later with another guy and he concurred on the bathtub ... said he heard of someone taking that approach and the house collapsed around her ... but she made it.
I don't know if two could fit in that tub and I sure would hate to get blowed away because you know what the gentleman has to do (larfs). I think we will find a way!
The missing provision is something to pull over the top of you in there. It's a sensible provision to make but who wants that kind of junk in a bathroom!
I prefer a shower stall. It fits more and the walls are probably the most substantial in the house.
But if it is a 3 4 or 5 tornado all the bathtub is going to do is be your launch vehicle.
Xenia is so famous because it was,a 5 and over a mile wide.
It flatten everything. A basement only helps if the house above is still there in some form to prevent the air pressures from pushing you out.
And you would only need that junk in tbe bathroom as tornadoes only last a few minutes. I watch them hide and then watch them leave.
And as luck works the land atound us steers them away from our hill
Must take another look at that shower stall. It's not tall enough for showers and I'm hardly a tall guy. Maybe that would be an answer.
I like it about the tub as a launch vehicle but, in the absence of any other cover, got to go with it. One place I know you definitely never want to be is in a car as the twister will damn sure make those fly.
For class 5, devastation is unimaginable so only dumb luck or divine intervention is going to keep you alive in that. Take your pick and I hope your bet works! (larfs)
Euros don't get this too much and the randomness is the scariest part of them. For any storm anywhere else, it's all over the place but these twisters will just pick one spot and then blow it all to hell. Whew, gets my attention!
