Mondays

Being off on Mondays isn't too bad, I get to skip the most dreaded day of the week.
Of course Tuesdays are my Mondays but still doesn't seem to have the awesome negative power of Mondays. The weather men are predicting rain changing to freezing rain Saturday. Freezing rain are still bad words around here, we got hit hard in 2001 (I think that was the year) by an ice storm. I wish I would have recorded the sounds. There was no electricity for about 5 days, and no traffic so it was very quiet until you would hear a creaking in the trees. The sound would slowly increase to a cracking and then the sound of a huge limb falling toward the ground, taking out other limbs and branches on the way down, the ice sounded a little like glass breaking. I don't think it would be near as bad now because the storm took out most of the weak trees and limbs. But it would still suck to be without electricity. I'm a bit of a survivalist (which seems to also be a bad word these days) I don't know why. "What's his problem, he wants he and his family to survive, what a dope!"
We have gas heat, not the kind that needs electricity. We have a fireplace and fire wood, guns and ammo, we're ready for just about anything. I guess that might sound a little paranoid. "OH MY GOD! SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!"
