Boy, did I get in trouble today. I mean big do-do. I'm on my annual super burn of leaves and brush on the ridge line. Every spare minute just about on weekends the past 4-6 weeks I've been burning. Lots of burning. Came home yesterday and was trying to get an hour or so of burning in around the yard area closer to the house. Mrs. RR came in behind me and got out walking around to check things out. Finished and went inside. Then we couldn't find her cell phone. Her pride and joy. Loves it. We tore this house up. She couldn't recall when she had it last. She'd come in from the hospital visiting someone and thought she'd left it there. Called, nope, didn't have it. She called her friends. She called everybody looking for that phone. Nothing. I don't know how many times we tore this house up, even stripping the bed. Got up early the next morn. Called the hospital. Talked to everyone. No phone. She drove into the city and retraced her steps, everywhere, even the hospital again. Nothing. I told her to go buy a new one. No, she said! She had to find "hers." She was on a mission now. I said please go buy another one. No, she said and gave me one of those looks. Oh, was she in a bad mood. The house was getting turned upside down. Nothing. We called the cell phone company and stopped the service. Checked the time of calls, etc. Then today at noon, number two son showed up with a bunch of kids from school, like locust, to eat anything they could find, and one of the boys reminded her that he had called her on her way home yesterday to tell her some good news about something at school. That meant she had it in the car when she got home last night. Oh geez, she tore the house up again. I even came home early to help her look. We were looking everywhere, inside, outside, you name it. It was hell around here. Even the animals went into hiding. Long story short..... I burned it up. Found the carcass in one of my pile of leaves that I'd burned. Oh, man, did I catch you know what. RR
