Just like Dad always said......

My Dad used to say "If anything is laying on the street in our neighborhood it will eventually end up in my yard."  I feel the same way.  I looked out the front door to see if it was snowing yet, and I saw something lying in the yard out by the fire hydrant.  I couldn't tell what it was so I went out to investigate.

It was a complete exhaust pipe off a truck or car.  It was in the yard, so I dragged it out to the street and called metro call to come pick it up.  I guess it fell off a vehicle and somebody put it in the yard to get it out of the street.  I hope they come by and get it before the snow covers it up.

Anyway, back to my Dad's saying.  Once, when he was driving home, he saw a dead chicken in the road just about a block from the house.  He said to himself, "I don't know how, but some way that thing will end up in my yard."  Well, a couple of hours later my brother Joe, who was about 5 years old at the time, came strolling up in the yard carrying that chicken saying "I've got something we can have for supper tonight!"
