We're still digging out from 'the worst ice storm in recorded history' (according to Kansas City MO). I've posted a couple pics on pg. 4 of Holidays/Sights at Stealthy's if anyone cares to get a *glimpse* of the damage. Trust me, this ain't the half of the damage!!! The second picture is taken next to our house...the town owns a horse arena where the annual fair and other equestrian events are held and this is the west side (to the direct south adjacent to our side yard). The other shows a lone tree and is indicative of the damage that has nearly decimated the town's trees. As I write, the limbs which miraculously haven't snapped are showering over an inch of ice over the ground.
The old advertisement is right--it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
