Hey guess what? I met a famous person today…Leon Spinks the X-heavy weight champion of the world! How many people (besides Steve) knew that he lives in Columbus Nebraska? He works at McDonalds and at the YMCA. He was in Menards with another guy and they were buying electrical stuff to get “Leon lit up”. I got to shake his hand and tell him it was nice to meet a famous person. He seems like a really nice guy. Didn’t talk much, but smiled a lot. Yup, that article that Steve had in his blog a while back is true. Bill didn’t believe that he really lives in Columbus, but he does now! How’s that for an update Buck???

I got an e-mail from Buck that said he missed the update. Well, here it is…UPDATE!!! Yeah……the update is “read the blog to see what’s been happening here”. Anyway, thanks Buck for reading the update LOL!

Yesterday was May Day. I remember my grandma talking about when she was little they used to make up baskets with flowers and treats in and give them to their elders and neighbors. That’s nice. Too bad the schools don’t do that anymore. Anyway, I had the day off yesterday and I put the sealer on the patio. I have to do that once a year in the spring to keep it looking nice. The fish in our pond are getting along well, and we have a few flowers planted around the edges now also. Adam’s graduation is coming up fast, he doesn’t have the invitations mailed yet, but they are made out. All he has to do is get stamps on them and drop them in the box (hopefully he’ll do that today). Pat is living with us again for a while. He got a different job too, working for Office Net delivering packages. So the empty nest syndrome is put at bay for a while (LOL). OK, that’s all for today. see ya

Some lady came in today and was mad at me basically because her husband is an idiot…people are stupid. Most days I like my job, but when something like that happens, it just makes the day seem a lot longer. Another thing I don’t understand is how 5 big 1000′ rolls of wire can just disappear? That’s about $1000 retail value. I mean, how can somebody just get out the doors with something like that? I don’t get it…

Yeah, on the way home from work I checked out the “scene of the accident”. (Heh). OK, if anyone reading this has been through Monroe on the way to Genoa, you can picture this…from the last turn to the south, going west from that corner to where they ended up (I’d say 40-50 yards before the first driveway to the north) is less than a quarter of a mile…that guy had to have been really flying! By the looks of the tracks in the grass, his back wheels slid off sideways, and his front wheels ended up right on the edge of the road. They almost took out the little brown road sign there (it shows ummm recreational info, or a state trail marker, or something), looks like they missed it by inches. Anyway…having just taken a ride on the “Wet and Wild Tilt-a-Whirl” Ride, they probably had to sit for a while! Hopefully the driver learned a lesson about drinking and driving. Get a DD!

Lots and lots of rain today, I’d say we got at least 2″. April showers bring May flowers. Rhyme time…yeah…OK. Anyway. Had a little thrill on the way home from work tonight. The car in front of me was weaving all over the road coming into Monroe. Got through Monroe and he was going really slow. I decided to pass him, but he sped up and kept going. I just slowed down and watched him. He got about 2 blocks ahead of me in a very short time and then he was REALLY all over the road. He started hydroplaning and went into the other lane fishtailing…I was slowing down all this time, and I watched him spin around and his headlights were shining at me and then he spun sideways and went backwards into the ditch. He didn’t roll or anything, just got stuck in the ditch ass backwards. I guess that’s what you get when you drink and drive when it’s dark and raining…stuck ass backwards in the ditch in the mud and the pouring rain…ha-ha-ha. (Did that sound mean? LOL)
