WNCW

So WNCW is our public radio station back home. Where we listen to NPR and the World Cafe and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and and and and etc.

It very much reminds me of home. Recently (today) I realized that I could listen to it through the internet (duh)! So I've been listening to it off and on all day, and this is a conversation I had with Andrew about it:

me: im listening to WNCW online [smile]
it's like I'm home
sitting in my living room on the couch
looking out the window, trying to take a nap
and then dad walks by and tweaks my nose
when he's on his way outside to chop a tree down or something..haha

Roots

So, a huge oak tree fell down yesterday at home, due to some serious wind. All I could think when I looked at this picture was, 'wow, those roots are bigger than............' And I then spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out some funny celebrity reference I could make, comparing the size of their roots to these roots. However, I was unable to. :( Maybe you could help me out and unfreeze my brain. I know that somewhere in my brain there is the knowledge of some celebrity with horribly huge roots. Damn. Not a good sign for the rest of the day. Yeah....

Note: That's my Dad up there, for scale.
