Here a couple of pictures of some storm damage. The broken and downed tree is typical of what we saw all over; the 2 days following the storm we heard a lot of chain saws running! The tipped-over power pole was the one responsible for our lack of power! It was amazing that even though it was smoking for 2 days, it took 3 before the crews came to work on it! I know they prioritize, but it seems like a pole laying on the ground smoking and close to a business and residences ought to be a priority! We were just glad to see it stop smoking after the second afternoon. Our power came back on last night, which was a great 4th of July day-ender - better than fireworks!!
And last but not least, this rose of Harrison's survived the entire storm, just a little worse for the wear! It was still beautiful, even though it was a bit weathered. I'm still scoring assessments - 4 more and I'll hit the half-way mark. That actually feels good, even though it took so much time (and I hate thinking of that much more time). We saw "Hancock" today at the movie theater. I liked it. I would suppose it's not a movie for everyone (and it sure has been panned by the critics) but I thought it was unique, gave a realistic view of how humans cope with life events, and had a (big) twist of fantasy! It also doesn't hurt that Will Smith is great to look at!
