Tribulations.

Last week, I overheard the following within twenty seconds of each other:

1. College Kid A tells College Kid B: "Man, nah, I hope it's gonna be nice out this weekend, 'cause I got these girls comin' up."

2. Just past these two is College Guy C talking into his cell phone: "I can't swear to it, but I swear to God, there was a sign in the yard that said, "Branski Landscaping . . ."

It hailed here hard enough last week to pock my car to hell and break my windsheild in multiple ways. It was very large hail.
