whiski_sourYeah, we're having some late October severe weather coming through, mostly in the form of straightline winds. It's being called #ChiClone on Twitter because a)Chicago looks to be getting the worst of it at this point and b)Chicago is center of the universe when it comes to IL, so even if it wasn't even windy up there, it'd still be called that.
While Chicago panics, those of us downstate, particularly of the redneck ilk, aren't too concerned as we're looking forward to the new stuff that will blow into our yards. It's like a Mother Nature controlled swapmeet. We got a Pepsi sign and a giant baseball once. It's good times.
We didn't put away our outside chairs or tables. Or really put away anything, really. I did tell Dad to put away his ladder because it was leaning up against the house and should it blow over, it'd blow over right on my car.
So, what does he do? Take it down and lay it across our outside chairs and table.
Consider our hateches battened, I suppose.
Just never mind the other ladder, stepladder, and paint still out in the backyard. Clearly, Dad is hoping to get rid of those things. I hope the people in the next county appreciate them.
