Interesting day so far...
Crackhead neighbor was on the local pen's road crew, and of all places they brought him up here to the Creek, where he grew up in the woods, to mow and weedeat. He decided he was tired of prison food, or wanted to go see his sister for a little conjugal visit (yeah they are known to have done that) and he took off. So we have had law enforcement parked every half mile on the highway for 5 hours now, wandering all over the woods, parked by the dozens in a few places. Dogs are out, news crews are here, 40 car loads of law enforcement at least, not having any luck finding him so far. Suspect he hit the creek, went to river. They figure he's heading home, 6 miles away. I'm guessing he probably crossed river and went South if they haven't caught him by now.
Local crazy stopped wanting help moving 2 pallets of corn at the country store. He's WAAAAY out there at times. This morning his other personality was jumping in and out of things about every other minute. One minute calm as could be, next minute throwing things, cussing swearing, raising hell, next minute back to calm, polite, laughing, joking. Oh Boy!!!
And, hurricane forecast has gone from tropical depression headed our way maybe, to category 3 hurricane, and shifted track more northward, our way. So at this point it's batten down the hatches, fill the gas cans, buy propane, ice, get the generators running, etc, etc.
On a positive note they're in the process of cleaning power lines, and the crews were in my yard most of the morning trimming trees too.
Needless to say bee work ain't gettin done!
