It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting at my computer and doing reports for work when I hear this siren......
For a second it doesn't hit me because I still haven't gotten used to how quiet it is out here in the country and when we lived in the city sirens were just a part of life.....
Finally when the siren stays consistant and it gets CLOSER and CLOSER and our driveway buzzer goes off it hits me....
They are coming HERE......
So I get up and go look for hubby (he's out back burning) and realize that Oompa has probably called the Fire Dept. on us....
Ok, "whatever"
The Dept. *inspects* our CONTAINED burning area and gives us a thumbs up..... They tell us in no uncertain terms that what we are doing is PERFECTLY LEGAL and they actually tell hubby that we've taken more precautions than most. (We have a garden hose 20 feet from the fire AND a fire extinguishar at our basement entrance)
They also tell us we are breaking NO EPA laws and that come January to check with them because the EPA *MAY* require a permit.... But as of now we're perfect.
They laugh it off, we apologize for taking up their time and they leave......
20 minutes later Oompa is out shooting.....
Well I thought it was only fitting to crank the outdoor speakers up with a beautiful Def Leppard song.....
Rock of Ages..... After all the lyrics are very fitting....
I'm burnin', burnin', I got the fever
I know for sure, there ain't no cure
So feel it, don't fight it, go with the flow
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road
Guess he didnt' appreciate that because the gunshots stopped and it's once again quiet at the O.K. Corral.
Life's just too short to be as pissy as this man is.........
