I feel a little like Suzanne today. We don’t live in the country itself. We live in a small town, population about 1200 (maybe less since the 2006 tornado). Anyway, we live on the last street on the south side of town. Across from us are houses and then a field. I’m not sure what crop they grow in that field, but that isn’t what this post is about. Our street dead ends at a friend’s farm equipment sheds. Last night, one of the farmer’s fully-loaded grain-hauling trucks came down our street and ended up in the ditch at the highway a block up. Took out a power pole (which fortunately wasn’t connected to our power) and had the truck on its side. Much excitement ensued! Though I couldn’t see much from my room. And it was too darn cold to go stand outside.

I forgot to talk about it, but I watched Disney’s Cars for the first time Saturday night. I absolutely loved this movie!!! I want the DVD with all the extra goodies. I’ve always been fascinated by Route 66 and now I want to do more research on it. Not that I have a need to, you understand. Just the desire. 
We love traveling on old roads. Granted, most of Route 66 is now gone. But you can still drive stretches of it across the country. I wish gas wasn’t so bloody expensive now. I’d talk my folks into going on a Route 66 road trip! So we could get our kicks. On Route 66. 
Boy, it’s super windy here today. I hope it doesn’t blow any more tree limbs out of the trees. We had two come down just the other day.
Suzanne’s continuing her blogging workshop over on Dandelion Blog. Check it out!
Not a lot on tonight except the ubiquitous Deal or No Deal. I wish people would choose cases better and actually win the million! *g* Guess I’ll watch some recorded shows, too.
Tonight I get back to writing. Gotta catch that killer!
Reading: I’ll be starting Mrs. Jeffries Sweeps the Chimney tonight.
