Heading back from dropping my sons off at 5 a.m. one blustery morning…
This is one of those perspective aphorisms; like, “If you’re an upside-down trampoline impaled on a stop sign, nothing worse can happen to either of you for the rest of the day.”

Great, now we have to check the sky for trampolines. El Paso would have winds like that…

I remember walking home from school in a sandstorm thinking, “Just keep your eyes to the front and you’ll be okay”. Then, an eight foot by six foot piece of plywood flew over a house and fell into the middle of the road. Needless to say, my pace quickened considerably…

They’re just one of those things we have to look out for these days! This past winter someone in LA ended up with their trampoline on their roof thanks to one of the storms that passed through. And I think another ended up in some power lines.

Ya know… the kids next door have a trampoline AND they are only 4 houses away from a STOP sign. (just saying)

If they didn’t have bouncers in nightclubs the trampoline wouldn’t be out on the street in the first place.

We still have a huge plastic kiddie’s pool that blew into our backyard in a big storm a few years ago. We searched for the owner up and down the street but either the owner did not want it back or it had a long journey. We are waiting patiently for the next big wind storm.
