And my aunt cancelled the Fayetteville (of Fort Bragg fame) VA appointment, or should I say, they cancelled on us because she was running a tad late. So I'm home today. Yippee!!! I really don't like the City of Fayetteville or the VA because they are both such incompetent twits, collectively. I don't know if you know much about our Veteran's Administration, but it used to be halfway decent under Clinton. It is not now. Bush has managed to make that run like he does; incompetent. It's pitiful how the veterans are treated, really.

That tree is still hanging there broke in half with two wysteria vines holding the top half, upside down, against the bottom half. I don't know where the tree behind it went either. The trunk of that one is split into a "vee" shape. It looks so weird and the top is just...gone. I hope it didn't land on anyone or their homes either. These storms are worse than some hurricanes I have lived through. They say there may be some storms this afternoon and way worse tomorrow, but this weatherman... You just have to hear some of his word choices. He calls them "robust showers," "rowdy thunderstorms," and "rumbles of thunder." I think he has a fixation on words that start with "r" for some reason. Gee, wonder how I got that idea? :P Anyhow, they are calling for large hail and damaging winds again tomorrow. This is the last time I listen to my mother. Sorry, mothers, you are not always right. Living in a trailer is cheaper in the short run but downright deadly, scary and unsafe in the long run. :scared:
