Ash It Be...

I happened to be home this morning around 10AM when the "City" crew arrived to saw away at the 10 foot limb that broke off the ash tree on Friday and was left dangling. 7 men came out of a crew cab pickup truck, all with their mandatory hard hats and bright yellow jackets. They all studied and discussed the limb for awhile then 2 men cut it down while 5 watched in utter amazement, 2 others deposited the limb in the street by the curb as the other 5 men watched in approval, there it sits for another crew to take it away. One guy's only job was to drive the truck, one guy swept up the mess...that left 1 guy whose gig is apparently to do nothing. I really want his job...I am so good ar doing nothing.
Weather became stormy about 6 PM, it knocked one local tv station off the air, it is still off.
I felt not lonely but total aloneness today even an unexpected online chat with DQ didn't make me feel any better, maybe it has something to do with the weather? I can hope for better days ahead. Finished my letter to DL and got it snail mailed...guess that is all for now. (The tree pictured is a Ash, not my Ash, but my Ash looks identical to it..lol)
