Well, Shucky Darn II


Our neighborhood was hit by a microburst last night around 2130. It sounded like a bomb. All of the furniture on the decks was blown about.

Directly by the entrance a building under construction was damaged. The port-a-potty ended up on a neighbor’s lawn.

This type of construction is new to me.

The first level had been filled with concrete and didn’t get damaged.


Our building maintenance manager had this observation.

“I saw the contractor pull up, walk around for a few minutes, then drive away to the liquor store”.

Winds of Change





Came back from the road trip to find the apartment complex was hit by high winds. A tree and the gas bbq were casualties.

Perhaps someone who is a tree expert can explain why the root ball is so small. The tree has been there 40+ years. My  guess is the species isn’t suited for this climate.




The property manager told me the owners plan to replace the gas bbq and add two charcoal ones. She is less than thrilled.

The good news is no roofs were damaged and the carports survived where my truck was parked.

My apologies for the bad pun post title.
