MM :>Hmmm, Better you than me this time.  My grass is turning
MM :>green.  ;-)
Didn't you get any of this?  Thought you did.  But, GLAD you didn't!  I've 
never seen a storm do so much damage.  Richard's new truck with plow lost 
it's power steering while he was plowing..he wasn't tooooo pi**ed!  Also, he 
got it stuck trying to plow back to the barn...had to have some guys from 
work come over and pull him out with my truck.  Lost a bunch of tree 
tops...huge pines that have been around for years.  It's really sad.  Some we 
can let stand and grow new tops, but some have to come down totally.  One of 
the landscapers that does a lot of work for my brother came over with his 
chain saw and at least got the trees out of the road going back to the barn.
Otherwise, God only knows when we'd have gotten it cleared out.  The yard is 
a MESS!!  Heard on the radio today that tree surgeons are at a premium, and 
that they'll probably get at least a year's worth of work out of this.
However, have to be thankful that what came down didn't hit the house, 
trucks, barn, etc.  One tree top missed our house by inches.  Florida is 
looking better and better!  Or Phoenix, or right now, I'd even settle for 
SoCal (g)!
And, as is always the case in the spring, the stuff is melting fast.  So 
we'll only have alot of mud to contend with in a day or two.
