Local excitement with helicopters and big rigs!

Yesterday morning helicopters continuously kept flying over my house really really early yesterday. My investigation was quickly halted when this showed up on the news...a big rig lost its brakes and plowed in a local restaurant parking lot. I can't believe that it did not hit the restaurant and squeaked by in the narrow passage adjacent to it. See here for further coverage: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26562274/

Other than that, this town is pretty quiet. My 90 year old neighbor forgot to hang up his phone, his son called so I went over and reminded him that he had to hang up the phone when he was done with it. That is about as exciting as it gets. I'm actually looking forward to getting out of her in 3 years, into a house that I can call my own again. Going 3 miles, getting into a school district zone that is not as coveted as this one is going to save me major bucks.

Hopefully this will be a great weekend - anything has to be better than last weekend.
