Funny Kentucky weather

Life is truly stranger than fiction. I was travelling to a job site in Lexington on Monday morning December 13th at around 9 o'clock in the morning, and as it started to really develop into a mini blizzard on US 68 (Harrodsburg Road) I thought that this is a bit overdue as we have been blessed with a very warm,but wet fall.Imagine suddenly being confronted with a character blazing out of the near white-out snow storm riding a commercial lawnmower cutting grass!! Honestly this employee of the horse farm was cutting the fence row on a speeding stand up ,commercial lawnmower. I felt I was either on the set of some bizarre Chevy Chase Christmas movie or that I was having a reaction to my Lipator or BLOODPRESSURE MEDICINE. Maybe being 55 years old has caused me to lose some of my ability to not be surprised by the out of ordinary. On a more sane note my wife wished me happy Anniversary this morning as I fell out of bed. She's a wonderful woman who gave me a fighting chance at being thoughtful by telling me first. Happy anniversary Sandy.You deserve George Bushes highest civilian honor for putting up with me for 31 years. Tommy Franks probably had a better tour in Iraq than you did for most of those 31 years. And Tommy got the award today.
