Bomb socks ? ugh not another manic week end

all i can do is laugh if i don't i will soon find myself totally insanely crying my eyes out.
what will happen around here next.
lets see before i relate this one to you.
so far this winter we have had
1. the dive bombing eagle carrying a deer head that took out an electric pole and took out our elec for a while.
2. the 200 inches of snow or more that did in my patio in places as well as a ton of fences and other things in town
3. the moose that took down a helicopter in a city not to far from ours like 50 miles
4 the fire up the road that took out and apartment building
5. oh yea and the cops and beaters chase through the neighbor hood when two i cant call them ladies tried to beat another lady who ran into a bank for shelter but they just kept grabbing her trying to beat and rob her so she ran up the street cops got one guy on the ground right outside my house with rifles pointed at him. wrong person wrong person wasn't a guy that was the perp was two idiot women on some thing i bet but not men or boys

awe and now the latest one
a bomb scare
some idiot left a back pack under a 6,000 gallon drum of oil (heating fuel tank ) right outside and behind the court house here. just two blocks from me they shut the whole neighborhood down for 7 hours .
we were taking Timmy's found birthday gift to him when we went past all the cops and barricades thinking oh there getting ready for a rally outside the court house and the state legs building. no way . and then when we got to the govs mansion and more road blocks the radio was screaming the news to us and we were amazed found ourselves on a one way trip for along while because we could get out but getting home was a whole different story. our grandson mike tried desperately to get home he was pretty worried about us and was refused entry to the area. even when he said i live there. it was sorry no go they told him he could walk the long long way around and he thought no way so he stayed where he was.
what really got me was we left the dogs and one cat at home. and were not in the least prepared to evacuate for nothing. i had one sock project in my knitting bag and that was it the new 160 gig external hard disk drive i had was hooked up the PC downloading all the information i wanted off the pc to it. and wouldn't be done for a few hours. ughhhhhhhhh.
if anything had blown up for real our kids would have told us we couldn't continue to live in the down town area we would more then likely be told to move to the valley LOL
you know its times like this my knitting comes in handy keeps me sane totally. as it is i finished one sock and am working now on the very first row of its match.
i did spend the better part of today working on locating all redundant pics and taking them off the storage unit i have. so i will have more room for more pictures .
i am thinking i should come up with two sock patterns one should be called fire socks and the other one bomb socks LOL maybe wild animals of alaska dedicated to the moose and eagle LOL oh yea and i hear tell there is a wolf out the road taking small dogs like i said what next ...........
yea i am like so cross eyed from looking at pictures for days now and so being driven slowly mad from the insane life around me LOL
i will take a photo of the one lone sock later and post it tomorrow . going to my daughters here again soon for a couple of hours all this insanity may as well leave the neighborhood for a bit gesh some people sure do get bad cases of cabin fever LOL

i'm guessing that all this stuff isn't typical of where you live--@ least I hope not! Well, at least everything is back to normal (for now) and you've always got your knitting. ;)
