Good Morning All - Although one would not know it now, it's supposed to warm up next week - 50 degree plus. Yessss. Nuther couple of inches of snow yesterday but the wind was kicking it around, 50.4 MPH NW. Business across the street has his new flag up. The old had a rough winter, torn and tattered but a brand new Old Glory is waving proudly this morning.
Kinda hard to catagorize this story but it might be filed under - sometimes one should call the professionals for assistance or you don't have to do everything yourself. You know we still have a lot of ice here, it is spotty, some areas being clear while others are like a skating ring. A woman who lives a couple of blocks from us slipped on the ice in her driveway and took a bad fall. Her husband saw it and wanted to help, it turns out she had broke her femur in three places. He proceeded to load her up in his SUV to take her to ER. I can't imagine how it was accomplished without a great deal of 'discomfort' for her. He then pulls directly out into traffic on a four lane street and is immediately hit broadside. At this point, 911 was called and they were there in a couple of minutes and proceeded to unload the woman and now the husband and transport them both to the ER. She's in a leg cast and he was bruised up and both are home. Folks, the firestation is only 4 blocks away. Moral of the story, sometimes it's best to call 911 before a bad situation goes fubar.
I use a Swiffer too. Afterward, I wash the wet pad and lay it on the counter to dry. Then I fold it back up and put it on the bottom of the stack in the box of other wet pads.
I'm so chinchy!
Also, you know how the pole (on the basic Swiffer) has three connections, not including the handle and the pad attaching base? I only put two connections together and it makes it just the right size for Joshua!
