Owwww-ie

I know everyone has storm damage, so I hope I don't totally bore you. I'll spare you the minor details though.

Definitely the most tedious, most time consuming, and most painful damage was from our deck table. I never particularily cared for our deck table but a) it was free and b) it was, after all, a deck table. Unfortunately for us, it is made of glass. And even more unfortunate was the fact that the fierce windstorm decided to toss it through the air like a...well, I don't know what like, but it smashed it and smashed it up good. IF it had broken into pieces, say, of several inches, that would have been better. But instead, it smashed into tiny fragments of glass. Thousands if not millions of tiny shards of glass. We are cut, bloody, and bandaged. We spent hours yesterday picking up glass. The neighbors helped, family helped, friends helped. The boys spent an hour and I spent several today picking up glass.

And it appears that we have not even begun.

Did you know?
-if a glass table falls good and hard and then is beaten repeatedly against the side of a deck by the wind, it breaks...
-when it breaks, the glass sprays in all directions upon impact...
-if you are in the middle of a class I hurricane, believe it or not, said hurricane will blow glass...
-the tinier the pieces of glass are, the farther they blow...
-glass does not know boundaries. It goes into neighbors yards without asking permission.
-glass gets lodged in shoes, in fingers, in knees...and in bottoms (don't ask how I know this one so well...)

Jon said his guitar callouses never came in so handy.

Wish I could get me some...
