Last night we were hit with ice on top of the heavy, wet snow that already bombarded us Sunday night. The result? Lots of downed wires, downed trees and loss of power. Fortunately, our power is still on (albeit with occasional brown outs). J has not been as lucky. His apartment complex is completely without power, his office is completely without power and...
See the big, round, beautiful dent in the middle of his hood? You can just about see the fallen tree branch where it slid off of his hood. Okay, Murphy...once and for all....ENOUGH ALREADY! J is going to talk to the management company of his complex and see if they will do anything about it, but more than likely it is going to have to go through his insurance. A $500 deductible he wasn't planning on....
You are really getting hit with winter storms this year. So sorry about J's car. Hopefully the management company of his complex does something (at least pay half of his deductible).

This ice is causing more problems...an extremely upsetting one for me. Twenty-four years ago we planted a cut-leaf Japanese maple in front of our door. It is one of the most beautifully shaped trees I have ever seen. Last year a landscaper offered me $8000 for it. I refused. It is my favorite thing of all of our landscaping. I've often said I wouldn't care if every other tree and shrub died, just not that tree. Today it succumbed to the weight of the ice and one quarter of the tree has broken off. Even if we can save the tree, it will never be the same. I'm heartbroken. We called it "Cousin It" (from the Addams Family) because the umbrella of beautiful leaves reminded us of Cousin It's umbrella of hair. Yup...I'm totally heartbroken... Don't know how much more of Murphy I can take...
ReplyDeleteOh no. I am going to come down and kick Murphy's with you.
