Yesterday a friend popped in and wanted to hear the speakers. I was dealing with a freezing rain soaked dog at the time so I just hit play on the Squeezebox I had paused when the doorbell rang. Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here, was starting up.

He was just starting to say that these big speakers suck because he was listening to the staticy, retro intro to the song when the intro finished and the louder, super crisp guitar part started in. He never finished his sentence. All he said was "Oh!" and then sat silent. Kind of humorous.

Speaking of freezing rain. Another good storm. 10,000 in my general area without power. Every young tree in my yard is bent over like it's drinking out of a puddle and I had to winch my neighbor out of the ditch because his normal car was not working and he tried to take his old beater with worn out all season tires onto the ice rink that was our road. Backed out the driveway and didn't stop till he was in the ditch on the other side.

Kind of a funny moment


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
