How do I love Amazon? Let me count the ways!
Here we are loafing on the bed with the dog, watching a fierce-looking storm come a-rolling in. And what have we done that’s even faintly useful?
Well: one real useful thing! We just ordered a leaf-skimming net from the beloved Amazon.
This gadget is a device much needed for maintaining the Hole in the Ground into Which to Pour Money…and with delivery to the front door, it’s only eleven bucks!
JOY!
So tomorrow we’ll be able to lift out the leaves that blow into the drink tonight. Pool Dude will be happy: our old net was plumb wore out. And the price was beyond right!
EEEK!
and Wow! What a storm! You should see the wind, the flying dirt, and the sailing plant matter! And the neighbors’ yard decorations. 😀
How glad are Ruby and the Human to be inside and watching this storm from the comfort of our bed? Let us count the ways!!
Let’s see what Wunderground sez:
Active Warning! Severe Thunderstorm Warning!
Heh!!! Ya don’t say?
Eeek, we say to that. Eeeek!
Hmmmm…Loookit there: raindrops the size of quarters! That’s a bit of a phenomenon.
But oddly, not very much of this slug-sized rain is falling. Huh…barely enough to get the pavement wet.
Weird. But then….Arizona is always weird.
Hope my son has battened down his hatches. He’s out of town for a business meeting. But…he does know enough to secure the place before fleeing.
Now it’s SERIOUSLY pouring: large, fat raindrops, in gay profusion.
Well, one thing’s for sure: we won’t have to add water to the pool tomorrow! 😀
But we will have to add a sh!tload of chemicals. Hope we have enough.
Dunno if Pool Dude really is supposed to surface tomorrow. He’ll have his hands full tomorrow, so may not be able to get to everyone’s place in one day. We shall see….
Jobs we’re glad we don’t have, #1,368…
