dynamitec.gifI’m not kidding you, the mess of stuff on my dresser just shook. I think it was my giant lava lamp - whatever it was, it shook. Geez, louise!

The explosions have been happening for several months now, as they are exploding right through our lovely mountains (foothills, I know, they’re foothills) to build a friggin’ road. “Easier travel, blah, blah, blah….” So it’s been shaking the house for a good while now, but, these mini-earthquakes today - man, they’re much stronger!

It’s strange, because, they are annihilating precious Mother Earth building the road about ten miles from here, so the effects that we feel and hear are not that strong. So I wonder what the heck is going on today since they are so strong.

The first year we got out here, there were some really strong booms that went on throughout the day - always during the week, always during the school day - so Puppy and I were home alone and scared to pieces! Then my monstermother-in-law finally told us what the horrible disruptions to our sanity were! You see, back in 1986, Ronald Reagan (Ronald Reagan? Isn’t he in Heaven? Why yes, yes, he is….) signed into the law the destruction of some freaky weapons, chemical or some shit like that. Did you say 1986?! Yes, I did. Long time ago - that president just happens to no longer even be living anymore…yeah… So the Army Depot near us was in the process of destroying those weapons! In 2006?! Isn’t that TWENTY years later?! Why yes, yes it is.

So anyhoo - yeah, there were countless interruptions to the sanity of myself and my beast. We were quite disturbed by them. The windows would shake and everything. And then, not long after they friggin’ finally finished that up - did they decide to demolish our precious earth and build a friggin’ road, thereby once again, toying with our mental and emotional comfort. I’m serious - the dog and I may just need therapy.

And I sure would like to know why the BOOMS! are so much louder, stronger, and more powerful today if the damn road is TEN MILES AWAY!

I’m ornery - my neck is killing me, that damn ear infection is dripping its way down my friggin’ eustachian tubes, so if I write some bitchin’ and naggin’ posts, like this one - you’ll know why.
