The week has begun

I am back. I did not get you an end of the week report. I apologize but we had some technical difficulties on this end late in the afternoon on Friday. I was looking to get some stuff cleaned up when we lost power. My computer shut down and I could see nothing. I do not have a window in my office.

It was funny as they were calling for a thunderstorms. I just did not think it would hit at five and wipe out the area. I am thinking it was a pretty violent storm because of all the downed tree branches I saw on the way to the Outlaws. There were plenty near our home, too. In fact, I kept trying to access a main street from a side street near our home only to find a large branch of a very mature Maple tree had fallen and was blocking the whole street. I saw it on Saturday, forgot about it and tried to access the street, with no success, on Sunday.

The funniest part is that it was the same part of the street where during another storm about 12 years ealier, we saw a branch had fallen and crushed the roof of a parked car. Mother Nature can be a real bitch. That is the only conclusion I can draw.

I was not able to send out my birthday greetings to Willie on Friday. Oddly enough, it was his birthday. Better late than never.

The Outlaws were in fine form Friday. There is a new entrant in my Outlaw rant. It is my brother in law (the Wife's brother). He is older than I but makes me look absolutely mature. I always thought that was impossible. I was wrong. He has this annoying habit of telling me things he likes or dislikes on television. As if I really give a shit!

No offense, but I do not care what you watch or what you like to watch or what you do not like. I tell you, that family, seems to have an inflated sense of their own opinions. Like there is some deep meaning to things they like or claim to like. Given that thought stops with "I like...." or "I don't like...", those likes/dislikes are pretty meaningless to me. Then again, I am an asshole, but at least I do not mooch rides off of me.

That is all I have to say for now. I have to go to baseball, so Ciao!
