Chasing An Empty Trash Can In 50 MPH Wind Gusts

OK  - Mother Nature! Yesterday we had 2" of torrential rain and I had to drive two and a half hours in THAT!  This morning my empty trash can was nowhere to be seen.  I had to walk three blocks and back in 25 mph steady and 50 mph wind gusts to retrieve it.  THEN I had to find the lid which was in the back of a neighbor's yard and had to traverse an entire yard of mud to retrieve THAT!

But I'm not smoking over it!  And very thankful for THAT!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
