Home on the range

May 25th, 2009

Only five months ago I replaced the bulbs in the microwave oven that light the stovetop. And now one of them has already burned out again. Rather than wait for the other one to go out I replaced them both.

Yesterday we were about to leave to go out to dinner, when an intense hail storm hit. They were the size and shape of Mentos candy. In this video you can hear them hitting the skylights on the porch which, fortunately, weren’t damaged.

After the hail there was heavy rain. Ten seconds into this video you can see that the downspout next to the garage couldn’t keep up.

Later, at Legal Seafood in Framingham, MA, Eric’s salad was delivered with hair in it. That’s a first for us at any Legal Seafood restaurant, and it took way too long for a replacement salad to be delivered. It should have been complimentary, but it wasn’t. Boo, Legal Seafood!

    That was a FANTASTIC restaurant back in my twenties. I won’t even tell you what my stepson Johnnie got in his mashed potatoes at a local diner once. It would permanently kill your appetite!

    As per the weather, last night the 28th, we experienced a rumba line of rippers that lasted from noon till well past midnight. Scary thunder and lightning, really Steven Spielberg effects! or should I say Douglas Trumbull? ;)
