random things

First up, hail! No really, it hailed yesterday. Check it out;

That was pretty big for our neck of the woods. When I left work yesterday it was 81 degrees. When I got home an hour later, it was 68 out. Crazy I know! Also, I was wondering, what happens to all the birds when it's hailing like that? Or, if you live in the Midwest and you have a farm, what do all the cows do? Because you know it has to hurt. One of the ladies in the office said, "hail is a natural meat tenderizer". Ewwww. (I laughed though)

Next up, an old story. This summer, my honey bunch and I are going to Michigan for a week. We'll be gone for 7 days and we won't be staying in the same place longer than one night. There's a lot to do in Michigan...and we won't even do ANY of the inland things! Anyway, there is a young woman in our office who is from the upper peninsula so I emailed her and asked her what the 'must do' and/or 'must see' things are. She emailed me back a couple days later and apologized for taking so long but she had emailed her Mom to ask her and was waiting for her to reply.  I looked at her list and they were all things I already had on our agenda. But then it hit me...she had to ask her MOM? Oh, because I wouldn't possibly like anything she herself would think is fun? Because I'm OLD? Like her MOM?!  Harrumph.

This is a sad story;

If you don't want to read it, it's about 2 parents who just released the last screen on their son's phone. He died when he rolled his car after jerking his steering wheel trying to get out of oncoming traffic. He was texting a friend. He was cut off in mid sentence. I CAN happen to you.

There was something else random I wanted to say, but I've forgotten. Must be my old age.
