then the clouds opened up and God said, "I hate you, Alfalfa!"

i guess God is the best prankster...

i hate being up early in the morning... if i've stayed up late and know that i can sleep all day, it's one thing... but when i have to get up and go to work at 5:00 a.m., i pretty much hate life... i don't sleep well, if at all, the night before most of the time... and last night was no different...

i slept less than an hour at one point and woke up about 1 a.m. or so... it's all kind of a blur... and i slept from about 3:00 until 4:45, i think... at 4:45, i got up, dressed for work and walked out the door at 4:55, which is plenty of time for me to get to work...

the weather was bad last night... a lot of lightning and thunder and really heavy rains and evidently pretty strong winds... 

i walked downstairs and through sleepy eyes, this is what i see...

i thought i might be able to get out, but to no avail...

Never fear, someone came to pick me up for work, so i made it... but it was one of those things that i thought, "really, did this happen to me?" another great story...

btw... the dumpster traveled about 50-60 feet... luckily it didn't hit my car...
