Weird things I've seen lately

A week or so ago I was pulling in to McDonald's (no that's not the weird part!) and noticed a Game Ranger's pickup sitting there. In the pickup was a bald eagle. Just sitting there in the seat. Waiting for the ranger to get done eating and come out to the truck. Sitting looking out the window. No cage no nothing. weird.

Day before yesterday I was driving home, turned off the highway on to the road I take home. I have about 5 miles of dirt roads to drive on after turning off the highway. Anyway in the first mile for about 1/2 a mile it looked like bananas scattered over the road. What? Why are there bananas on the road? Did someone have a grocery mishap?

Well, yesterday I figured out it wasn't bananas it was ears of corn. That makes more sense! There was a field of corn grown on that road. Someone must have been working the ground and picked up some corn on their equipment and it got scattered on the road as they left the field.



So we are all bracing for a winter storm here this weekend. Terri I think your storm is coming our way. We are going to be getting freezing rain with a 1/2 to an inch of ice possible. Not fun. At least it's coming on the weekend. We had a huge ice storm here about 5 years ago and we out of power for about 2 weeks or more. We have a generator but it was still pain. Hopefully it's not that bad this time!
