Wednesday Mind Hump

Hi everyone! Another hump day is upon us. Today is Big Wind Day, so grab a coat and play along.

1. "And the answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind." So says Bob Dylan. What IS the answer?

I was going to make some smart remark like the answer is the garbage company must be on strike again, then decided my smart ass self should take a break and get serious here for a minute...

So the answer is... that our government blew it and is passing wind instead of taking care of us and our country. it's time the winds of change blew good again and we ousted the current group and put in people who really care about us, our country, our freedoms and not just about themselves and their ultra-rich friends.

2. Ever seen/been near a tornado? Was it cool or scary? Both? Get out of it ok?

The answer is yes! And yes it was both cool and scary. When working in Florida for Verizon mobile we closed down a couple times due to tornado warnings and always they passed without even coming near us. So, when we had yet another one, the powers that be decided to remain open and of course this time it passed right behind us! It was a powerful deafening roar and we lost all power. Thank goodness the building was mostly brick and heavy construction and suffered little damage. No one was hurt, but a lot of the computers were burned out in the power surge when ALL power was knocked out.

The funny part is the next day customers were calling to complain their cell phones hadn't worked after the tornado hit. I asked if their landlines were working and they said no and they still weren't. I tried to explain that the same storm that took out the landline power also took down cell phone towers but they yelled and screamed and swore at me and called every dirty name in the book because the cell phone was supposed to be able to call 911 even when they didn't have service.

Okay...let me explain this here to anyone who might be agreeing with those idiots. Yes, even if you don't pay your bill! and lose service due to non payment, you can still dial out to 911 if needed....BUT!! if there is a storm and ALL power is out including downed cell towers...think about it! if your telephone pole is down for your landline can you us it? NO!!! The same theory applies to the cell phone.

3. Pick a random country. If there's a message you could whisper in the wind to someone in that country, what would you say?

My favorite country has always been Lichtenstein and what I would whisper is size really doesn't matter. You may be small but you are a country with a big heart.

4. What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about wind?

I don't think I have a least favorite thing about the wind. I love a good wind storm and if rain is involved it's all the more exciting. I'm one of those weirdos who enjoys inclement weather and finds it thrilling more than an inconvenience.

Ok, that's enough. There are only so many questions one can ask about wind without getting vulgar. I'll see you all on Monday with a new Mambo!

The rules are, there are no rules!!! All you need to do is copy and paste the above questions into your blog and add your responses. After you've finished, return here and leave us a comment so we'll know you've humped. Be sure your hump is linked back to http://bdinsanity.blogdrive.com so others can hump too.

Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. If one of the questions doesn't inspire you then simply "pass" it. Just use your imagination!

If you don't have a blog or you're an exhibitionist *woo hoo* feel free to hump right here in our comments section. There's absolutely no pressure ... although it's called the Wednesday Mind Hump you can hump on any day.

Until next time, this is your music-loving mememeister wishing you a happy hump day!
