Rante Macabre

[cdneh 3,112]

At the risk of sounding a bit twee, lucky ducks!

 

So far there are four tornadoes on the map, the one closest to me was an EF2. We were in the same warned storm, and were in the shelter for that one. It may have cured the husband of a bit of his " oh it's not that bad, no need to go out there in the rain' thing. I'm sorry, but if the weather radio and all of the apps are saying take cover NOW, we are going. 

 

I have no idea what's for tea here, not even hungry but I suppose I'd better put something on the table.

The answer is obvious, P man:  Call the rubias*.

 

*blondes, specifically our fake harem of Many (2+2+2) of them**, for frolicking, cavorting, no nagging, and general mayhem

 

**hands off of our rubias; recruit your own, si P man

crashing and very bad lightning until I gave up and went to bed at 0200.

Was bad here for an hour-plus (wind, heavy rain) but without local damage, escape we man.

Areas farther north had trees through homes, gas station canopies uprooted, etc., massive man.

@TBoneTX  you can only hope !! 

Tree at the r-casa was undamaged, oh well man.

Cutdown crew showed up early, unprepared we man.

Several Mexicans set to it as though they'd done it before, poetry in motion man.

Finished early, work ethic man.

Clean-up such that if no one knew that work had occurred, no one would be the wiser, amazing man.

This was $Many well-spent, anathema though it normally be for us to admit, cheap we man.

You'll need one of them for a nursery, if you finally birth those twins, Manylets, Manyruplets, or Manytuplets that you've been incubating for (it seems like) at least a year now, pffft D ma'am.

Excellent!  It seems like lots of areas around us got snow, but we did not. We settled for a day of cold rain. Just like AKL in the winter. Just bitterly cold today...and meant to be warming up the start of the week.

[TBoneTX 45,598]

We intentionally broke our preferred stay-in-casa-on-Sundays protocol, radical we man.

We took Mrs. T-B. & Mini-B. to the cat show, see mius man.

Tickets to get in cost $Many, expected man.

 

One of the first mius that Mini-B. saw had a business-card-like thing, famous miu man.

Mini-B. then wanted to collect other "Pokemon" miu cards, had to explain man.

Fortunately, found a couple of other business cards with miu fotos on them, save the day man.

 

Mini-B. liked any miu that was out and touchable, interactive wee with mius man.

Mrs. T-B. in love with smashed-face Persians, fluffy mius man.

Mrs. T-B. grossed out by hairless Cornish Rexes ("cat rats") or whatever, bald mius man.

We liked magnificent Norwegian Forest Mius, What Hath God Wrought man.

 

Bought Cat T-B. a fishing-pole with shiny danglies on it, play with miu man.

Bought Cat T-B. a "marshmallow bed," softest thing ever man.

Pole cost $Many, pay we man.

Bed cost $Many, pay we man.

At least found free parking, some redemption man.

[TBoneTX 45,598]

After return to casa, we went to r-casa, clean up post-tree debris man.

Very little detritus from former tree, good cleanup by tree-removers man.

Glad to be rid of that fungally-diseased hazard, bye with no regrets man.

 

Also nuked a huge mound of hormigas del fuego, fire ants man.

Shot ny bow for 2+ hrs yesterday.

If you hit someone with an arrow but not your bow, are they "bloody but unbowed," huh Niki-B. ma'am?
