Glad no one was hurt Clint. I to remember your memorial day post.  She sure has been lucky.
Maybe you should play the lottery!

Glad they are OK. You really have to watch out for the other guy these days.
I'm beginning to think that all this distracted driving is getting worse than drunk driving.

I hear ya, and I have a small driveway.  My back seized up, I'm walking around like a 90 year old man.  Did not warm up my back nor stretch before going outside.......... :'( :'( :'(

Although one big ,big thing on my Bucket list is..!  Stay in a cabin for a short period of time,  somewhere in the back forty and live like a mountain man. Snowshoeing, hunting, splitting firewood, cooking on open fire etc.... This is a  must do before I punch my ticket...!    8)

If they would simply toss ALL people who are charged with texting and driving a 1 year jail term, it would be a good start. ZERO TOLERANCE is what we call it nowadays.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

My daughter will be getting her license in a few months.  I'm glad she was in the car when it got hit so she could see how fast an accident can happen when you aren't paying attention.  We have stressed the no texting issue to her.

I have nerve decompression on L3-L4-L5 and lateral fusion of L5-S1. I feel like a freight train ran over me couple times right now, at least the loss of feeling in my legs that prompted the surgery has come back.

My wife and I spent the morning hours watching a very large herd of elk wade thru the really deep snow on the divide across from us.  We see them all the time, but this morning they were headed back up country in the drifted snow which only adds to the crazy year we have had so far. The large herds of elk were down early and then went back to the high country.  They came down again when we started having the heavy snows in the mountains.  We have a picture taken early last week of 300 or so in the lower hay field.  We think that is the same herd as we watched this morning.  Cow season is still on so the 1000 yard gunners are still driving the mountain roads.  Deep snow like they were in this morning makes them easy prey for the wolves as the wolves can often run on top of the drifts and the elk must bust thru.  I don't remember seeing a herd of elk on the divide in the deep snow before.  Joe

It warmed up to about 40 degrees today so I decided to stretch my legs a little bit.  I dropped down the hill behind my house and started hiking through the woods.  I got to the back edge of our property and then I saw it.  The clouds parted.  A ray of sun shined down on a tall and straight osage tree.  Not a single limb for 35'.  I just stood there in awe for a moment.  Then I started scouting a landing area and trying to find a route to get it hauled up the hill and into the field.  But then I paused and looked at it some more.  I decided to leave it alone.  Let it keep growing until a windstorm blows it over like usually happens to large osage trees in our soft soil.  It might happen during the next storm or it might last another 10 years.  Whenever it does happen I'll be ready.
