Never A Dull Moment - They're Back!

So, almost a year ago today I did this post about this truck driving around with this experimental windmill strapped to the back. Well guess who's back and parked in front of my house right this very moment? See for yourself:
I was just returning to my part of the neighborhood and BAM! This was coming right at me. I fumbled around with my cell phone, trying to turn the camera on so I could take a picture before they passed me, but I just couldn't get it out in time. I was too busy trying to drive Steve's ridiculously large truck, maneuver between this truck and it's strange cargo, and all the construction from a new house that is always blocking the road on the way to my house. I thought it was more important not to crash Steve's truck than to take the picture, since on his way out the door he had to make some kind of smartalec remark about not knocking the mirrors off when backing out of the garage. Look, if your mirrors are gonna stick that far out from your vehicle, build a bigger garage. You know what I'm sayin'. FYI: those huge truck mirrors with their electronically movable parts are really expensive to replace....so I've heard....


Anyway, I was so distraught that I didn't get a picture, because things have been really boring here in my neighborhood, aside from the all out battle we are waging with the Utah Department of Transportation, but that's another story for another day. Just two days ago my neighbor April and I were talking about how boring this spring is gonna be now that we have a house built at the end of our long cul-de-sac, and so all the high school kids won't use that as a place to go get high. It's been so long since I've had to pull out my binoculars, text back and forth with the Momma Posse and call the police. It's been so long since I have had a big ol bull tromping through my yard or a little yellow plane buzzing my house. So I was so glad when the white truck with its strange cargo circled back around and parked in front of my house! YAY! I live in the strangest place ever!
