Today's excitement

We were about to head out to Max's guitar lesson, when this happened:
It took out our lamppost and some flowers, and tore the electric line and meter from the wall, but otherwise it was a very polite dying tree: it missed the car by inches, and astoundingly, we didn't even lose power.... Wow!
UPDATE: It turns out there was, in fact, one family that lost their home in the fall:
LobsterFest and Pig Roast
Posted by: Jeff Kupperman Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:35:26 GMT
Our backyard was the site for "Lobstock" this Saturday, featuring 94 live lobsters and a 95-pound pig.
The day began at 6:00am with the lighting of charcoal and preparing the pig.
By our calculations, the pig rotated about 7,000 times before it was done.
Doug spent most of the day piggy-sitting. Chris and John put in quality time, too.
The lobsters arrived via FedEx at around 11:30am, in three boxes. The larger boxes weighed 80lbs each. We put them under the tent to keep cool.
The grand opening of the lobsters, a bit before 1:00:
We had four propane-driven caldrons going for the lobsters.
Max made a series of signs....
Lobsters make good pets, for a minute, anyway:
The pig came off the spit at around 4:00.
Things really got hopping around 6:00....
Sanna made her dad some "Pig Bling," which he wore proudly.
A real treat was music from a band called The Bearded Ladies. Billy (right) lives across the street.
One very long, happy day.... Thanks to everyone -- it was a true village effort!
