You have to see this!
Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth
Pammy,
ReplyDeleteThat was extraordinary. Now I will never need to visit Niagra Falls.....
....or Krakatoa, for that matter.
I wondered what ever became of Ginger Spice?
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame. I was just kicking myself for already having a wife when there are babes like that out there when .....I am saddened by this terrible loss. I shall play Spice Girls all day in memory of Ginge.
Pam, I am glad to see that you are using your web time so constructively! hehe
Marvellous stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's not wasting bandwidth if it makes you laugh.
ReplyDeleteRight?

I grew up mere blocks from the lake. My father still lives in our ancestral home there. (ha!) I loved it when they used to have the 4th of July fireworks there, and the Bite of Seattle, etc. Now those things just got so big that Greenlake couldn't handle the event crowds any longer.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful place and I love walking around the lake. When did you live there?
Darn ... that was a bit, oh my ---- is it real. No, couldn't be. But so much of that stuff happen in Iraq. Alright, I won't feel guilty this was fun to watch and I watched and watched and watched! I need a good laugh, thanks!
ReplyDeleteall over. u district, first hill, capitol hill (fave) queen anne, rat city...them was my 'flock of seagull' hair days. *buuuuuurp*
ReplyDeleteLiquidplastic, you're welcome for the laugh. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteFirst Nations, I love Queen Anne. My hubby's grandma lived there most of her adult life and from her windows we could look down on the Space Needle. We'd park our car at her house and walk to concerts at Seattle Central. I love the old houses up there, so very beautiful.
