No, we weren't the ones who ran over the fire hydrant, but it did provide us some afternoon entertainment, when we observed a gentleman who did just that. In fact, he didn't just ''back over'' the fire hydrant, he was rounding a corner, I'm guessing not knowing that he was under the influence, when he hit the thing, going about 30mph. Once he hit the hydrant, he over corrected and went across the lane and slammed into a bridge. When we could see that no one was injured, the entire scene provided some lunch-time entertainment, as we enjoyed our food and waited about a half hour before someone arrived and turned the water show off. The entire center of town was flooded by that time. That's why I can add this to something I learned over the weekend. :)<br />Don't drink and drive.David and Dixie Fenskenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-42191529241709011762010-03-09T09:39:41.506-08:002010-03-09T09:39:41.506-08:00LR, it's not such a secret thing.

Dog isn't so happy about it.<br /><br />Dixie & David, er, you may want to clarify that YOU were not the ones who backed over a fire hydrant while drinking and driving. (I swear, everyone, my parents aren't irresponsible drunks. That's just me).<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-7731398551086300112010-03-09T09:01:14.678-08:002010-03-09T09:01:14.678-08:00It's nice to know that some things stay the sa...It's nice to know that some things stay the same, (Matt's thievery). After all, he has a reputation to keep. His antics were made famous when he was the subject of a news article, a year or so ago.<br /><br />As far as what I've learned; if you run over a fire hydrant, water sprays up in the air about 30-40 feet. I'd guess that's also a lesson on not drinking and driving, but that was only my observation.David and Dixie Fenskenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-81707983209411592972010-03-09T00:13:07.916-08:002010-03-09T00:13:07.916-08:00Looks like your cat has a secret thing for dogs.

The house smells like a bonfire.<br /><br />If you take your daughter to the park when the snow's melting and it's muddy, don't take her in her whitest shoes. Yo knew where you were going.<br /><br />If you're sitting at the computer and typing a comment to a blog post and you hear strange noises in the kitchen, maybe you should check on said daughter instead of continue typing this.

You CAN apparently eat too many Skittles when deeply involved in a difficult scene.<br /><br />2. The chocolate Midgees in the blue wrappers (for Easter) are not as good as the ones in the brown wrappers. (Though I admit this may be psychological.)<br /><br />3. My son's new gf is adorable, even if she can't stand pickles. (I'm trying not to hold this discovery against her.)Linda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576828490765434497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-46447400500709072312010-03-08T11:20:45.370-08:002010-03-08T11:20:45.370-08:00Things I learned this weekend:

Probably triple it if I don't want to feel like a failure.<br /><br />- I love not wearing a coat to go outside.<br /><br />Great post.<br />-LizLiz Czukashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656897969180818333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-1868964913507202612010-03-08T11:09:35.392-08:002010-03-08T11:09:35.392-08:00My weekend lesson: No one appreciates profanity co...My weekend lesson: No one appreciates profanity coming from a female mouth, especially not men, no matter how much they swear.
