Timber!

This call came in on the morning of Labor Day: An old and very tall pine tree toppled onto this single story home, crashing right through the master bedroom, where the sole occupant was sleeping.

See if you can find the bed in this picture...Hint: It's right there under the ceiling fan!

Miraculously, she self-extricated, with only a few minor lacerations and abrasions.
An hour later, when I made a quick search of her room to recover her laptop and cell phone, the huge tree was still creaking and groaning.
But I noticed that her house now had a wonderful pine-fresh scent to it.

Get Serious!

That idiot over at Switch 2 Plan B has pledged to post nothing but "happy thoughts" for the next 30 days! Can you believe that?

He'll never make it...

Until he comes back down to reality, his readers are going to need some comic relief, so we here at EMG (Everything Must Go) are going to serve it up!
Enjoy!
