Here's something funny. On the news last night, 911 operators reported that people were calling in about non-emergency stuff like school closings and such. The oddest call they got was someone reporting icecicles on a herd of cows and could someone send a policeman to check on the cows' wellfare.
No kidding.
Man, I really love Oklahoma.
Well, were the cows OK?
We had a loose herd of cows wander through our back yard one night when we were living in Indiana. Of course we had three acres, so they had lots of room to roam. We were worried that they'd get out on the highway though. It never occurred to me to call 911! I called our neighbor, across the road, who had dairy cows, thinking they might be his. He said they likely belonged to a man down the road who had some of his cows penned on our side of the road, and he gave me his number. I called him, woke him up (it was after midnight) and he came down and herded them a little further down the road where a friend of his had a field with a sturdy fence. It was an exciting night!
The snow looks pretty; I hope we don't get much of it this year, though. Too many things we have to do to have to fool with it!
