Hark, Ark.

High water also approaching roadside between my house and Village sign...

Earth-Shaking

   Maybe not the entire world, but most certainly the house. At 9:30 this evening, the house shuddered under a terrific booming sound. It seemed as if someone might have driven into my car or maybe the side of my house. I looked out, and the best I can determine  is that a massive ice jam has slid off the roof. The roaring noise must have been the actual sliding and the booming noise when a portion hit the aluminum deck. I thought the rain gutters might have been pulled off, but from where I stand they seem intact. I'll check further tomorrow when it's daylight. I'm thankful no one was underneath when the ice fell, as it 's really thick.

Enough for this year.

Not my sentiments...really, they're not...

Is that the best you can do in my defense?

Community Page & Vigilante Mentality

   Easy access to social media  is feeding the need for revenge and retribution. A person posts that someone has broken into her house more than once and stolen a dog. Others post they have heard worse, including a tale of someone stealing a dog, being chased by the owner, and said thief opens the car door and throws the dog out. The vehicle had Massachusetts plates, an uncommon sight around these here parts, so be on the lookout. I would think this would be a case of selective prosecution or harassment.
 (Car with Mass. plates was in my driveway for several days, but I can guarantee they didn't steal a dog.)
   Another posts a delivery person entered her home through the dog yard, and left the gate ajar. Imagine what could have happened...
 Others give veiled threats if a suspected dog-thief approached their domain, and a not so veiled warning of a shotgun blast to the suspect's face.
     Takeaway:  Do not knock on any doors.
 
 

Ice, Ice...

Some melting???
