Two song titles come to mind this morning:
“Rainy Night in Georgia”
“The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” (no one got hung)
And based on recommendations from this thread, I bought strawberry pop tarts yesterday for the first time ever. No electricity for the toaster this morning. 2020. 😡
That caused me to actually look at the lyrics for Midnight Train to Georgia. L.A. = Lower Alabama?
I come to Ocracoke, and Asheville gets a tropical storm.
Very on brand, 2020.
No, but they're both profoundly OCD. Lawnmowing over the snow guy (who also rakes all his pine needles among about 250 pine trees) is different from OCD paved driveway guy (paved driveways are rare around here) who periodically removes a few leaves from his driveway NOT with a broom, but rather by riding his riding lawnmower up and down the driveway until the leaves scatter. That guy does happen to be socialism hating guy...when the Covid began back in March and I mentioned to him that I guess some things are going to get shut down (quite amiably) he hollered that "the only things we need to shut down are the media and the stock market." I guess his 401k had taken a beating.
Third neighbor is horse in the pool guy, typically has a travel mug of Crown Royal on his way home from work, he's too toasted to do much of anything, though he does love his multi purpose tractor.
I just voted. I did not take a sticker.
No good reason I can think of. OCD neighbor(s) need all things spotless and precise...here's another symptom, this one from neighbor #2, he who rakes pine needles. Yesterday morning he was laying out his reflective markers on his driveway for Plow Man to use this winter (not a bad idea), and while most folks just plunk in a marker every so often down the driveway, he was literally measuring out precisely equal distances between markers (with a tape measure) all the way down the 100+ yard driveway. Took him about 20 minutes to do what could have been done in two minutes.
p.s. my Volvo is almost 15 years old, going unwashed hasn't bothered it one bit. Savvy tip: sometimes I leave it out during big steady rains...
