Appreciate Tunnels

My knee hurts. I would say a storm is coming, 'cept...well...a storm ain't coming. I think exhaustion has gotten the better of it.

~~~

I appreciate you too, oh thou wonder woman incarnate! And even though it was a laugh, what it meant was thanks.

~~~

Tunnels and dark close spaces have never freaked me out, but rather the opposite, just as spiders and snakes fascinate me, so too the fact that there is a very pronounced lack of caves and such in my part of Oklahoma has caused them to be a novelty.

So yes, I did enjoy the tornado drill. Although, the thought did occur that Ohio never really has tornadoes and wouldn't know what to do if they did.

But I didn't say it.

I am a nice person.

Me: Hey, Zeke...Will you come put my air conditioner in my window?

Later,... this was the result! Sure, sure, the air conditioner got put in the window...but at what cost!? Blue Bunny is still in therapy for the emotional damage done on that black day. And the physical therapy needed due to all those knots he was tied in are going to break the bank! Further more, he has since developed a fear of heights, air conditioners and desk lamps. But he does have a cool scar from the pen...

The picture was sent to me from the culprits phone, so there is no way he can deny culpability! (And it doesn't take very good photos, so there! Ha Ha!)
