This is going to be fun....

 

This is the type of thing that wipes our power out.  :( :( :(   

At least it's not very cold out, and my phone just finished charging.  :)

    Sure enough.  My cat was watching me while I was taking the pictures. 

     

    Sorry for a few of them not being very clear.  The wind is awful and it was hard to hold the camera still.  And yeah, that's my finger.  :p  

     

    This is my phone line, and the branch that took it down, literally ripping the line off from the roof down to the box.  Amazingly, my phone still works, though if enough cars run over the line it will probably break.  Luckily, we get very little traffic on my dead end road.  Verizon should be here within a few hours to fix it.

      Oh, wonderful, now it's cold and snowing.  So, cold, snowing, and the wind is still blowing like crazy.  

       

      I feel so sorry for the Verizon guy who's going to have to deal with this.  I don't know if he's even going to be able to fix it today, as the wind might be too much for the boom truck.  SMH. 

       

      Hey, mother nauture, it's APRIL!!!

        You've had some pretty rough weather lately! (Edit: well, this winter/spring)  I hope Verizon will not send someone out in the wind and snow, though I'm sure you'd like to have your phone service back....

         

        That's a nice looking cat!  He's smart; he's not venturing outside.  I believe he may be shaking his head at you.

        Yeah, he's a tad bit chubby.  He's a fairly good size cat already, but he's around 17 pounds, which is way too heavy.  He's going to the vet next month for a checkup on his gums (he has issues with stomatitis), and I'm going to ask the vet how to properly put him on a diet so he can go down by at least five or six pounds.
