I guess I just have to laugh? I think, “Oh, I really should write something today.” And then tree trimming trucks from the electric company roll up into the neighborhood. Yay for reliable power. Boo for waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, boop, boop, boop, brrrrrrrrrrrrr, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, kapow, wham, kerchoo. What was I doing […]
