Oven Shmoven

Bummer. He fixed our oven. I know that sounds awful - I should just be grateful that I have a working oven now, and I am, but still it would have been nice to get a new (white?) one.

So, how is everyone doing in the Katrina aftermath? Gas prices suck, don't they? They are probably still cheap down here in TN compared to some of you. It's at $2.78 for us right now. You?

We had some bad rain storms for a few days with a lot of wind. During one of these windy nights we had a close call when a tree in the neighbor's yard (no, not the leaf-dropping one) came crashing down to the ground. It is big enough that it could have easily fallen on our house and caused serious damage. Check it out.

Uprooted - actually I don't see any roots!?Neighbor's tree

If Huz weren't so bold, I could have called into work that day because we live on the end of a dead end street and the tree was completely blocking the road.

Road Blockage

But, do you see that tiny space between the tree and the cars? Well, Huz decided to squeeze the car through it. I think the car got a small scratch out of it, but nothing serious.
