Life in the flyover

Slices of life in the flyover

without comments

Out and about.

Today I went to the doctor’s. The receptionist is like an exaggerated version of the ‘Church Lady’ from Saturday night live. She has the same church lady hair cut, general appearance and accent. Instead of saying ‘isn’t that special?’ she says ‘please sign in, please sign in, please sign…..’ It really freaks me out.

A tale I heard.

So the mechanic has an emu farm and six emus. He gets a call from a neighbor while he is at the garage. The neighbor has one of the mechanic’s emus in his back yard. Now emus are about 6′ tall, 100 pounds and have claws that can easily gut a grown man. Neighbor is not happy. Mechanic takes truck to neighbor’s; tackles; ties up; and tosses emu in back of truck. Mechanic takes emu home. Mechanic now has 7 emus. Who knew there were wild emus in Texas?

Rain rain and more rain.

Even the cats smell moldy. It has down poured and thundered and lighteninged daily for weeks now. The sun will be out and then in 10 minutes the sky turns black and it is like someone turned on hundreds of garden hoses just above the clouds. So not many pictures right now, I can’t wander too far with out getting drenched.
