One of the local plants near by has called back it's workers after a 2 month lay-off. I just thought it would be fitting to share some good news!!

(Forgive the lackluster intro... I know, not up to par for me... but hey, it's after 3 a.m! I wanted to share it now... because not sure if I'd see the article later.)

House explosion...

NO... NOT MINE!!! (Had to say that you won't be worried!)

I was hesitant to post this article... however... I will because I do believe it's available for anyone to see. (The local newspaper here publishes the names & addresses... & I think that's wrong.)

Anyway... click on that link & then also check out the photo links right of the story.

Thankfully no one was home at the time!!

IKE still effecting many!!

Due to IKE... some areas around here have been without power since Sunday... & now they're saying it may be until this coming Sunday before it's restored!

Fortunately, my house never lost power. A few neighbors have... and so have my mother-in-law and brother-in-law... both of their places are without power. (B.I.L. has 4 kids to entertain & so they got a generator tonight!!) Neighbors have generators running as well.

My heart, thoughts & prayers go out to all who have been effected by this monster of a storm!!

NEWS FLASH: Tanker truck dangles from highway bridge

I just saw this in my news flashes.

I wonder if hubby heard it this morning while getting ready for work. Or maybe even saw some of the commotion on his way past this highway. (I just looked... it's the bridge before the one he goes under! EEKS!! And it happened about the same time he would be going under!!)

Read the story & then look at the pictures & information on the right side. & Click the photo gallery farther down on the right.

Yeah, this is the same story as I just posted in the review section (if you saw it before I deleted it.) Had to move it here so my dad can see it... (FYI... he only looks at my journal entries.)

I'll update when hubby gets home from work... (probably just down in a reply below!!)

Turning 200...

Thought you might like to hear about my little ol' town of Mansfield...
(For more articles click on the links at the right of the story entitled "Related Articles". & If you scroll down, you'll find the Photo Gallery links... not that there's much to look at right now. LOL)
NO, I am not going to any of the celebrations... I am not really from this town (but a much smaller one near by) ... & besides, as mentioned in a few prior blogs... Crowds & me just don't mix well anymore... AND it's too hot & humid for me!
