Because of an extremely wet spring and summer, a cottonwood tree in the neighborhood was delayed in releasing it's cotton. But when the cotton started to fly it was horrible. This stuff lays quietly on the ground in the morning but after it drys and the breezes pick up, the afternoon is just white -- like it is snowing. We have a moron, for a neighbor, have I mentioned that before?
On Wednesday, the day I shot this photo, he waited until afternoon to go out into his front drive and grind on this car (up on blocks) he has 'worked' upon for several years. Then out comes the spray can of primer. Can you picture this? He is painting away on this car and the cotton is flying. Of course the cotton sticks to the wet paint. He is cussing and stamping around waving his arms like an ape while CarGuy and I watch this whole thing from our front porch.
Obviously the gene pool was closed for repairs when he tried to swim in it.......... this is why some parts of the species eventual die off..... good thing too I have to say.
ReplyDeleteLOL - some people!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good thing that his car is on blocks instead of out on the highway with him at the wheel. People who don't understand the concept of wind probably shouldn't drive.
ReplyDeleteToo funny - the poor guy needs help! Like he is trying to FORce MOTHER Nature to adapt to HIS wants.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonder these kinds still exist. 8-)
OMG, I would have called all of my friend to come over and watch with me!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to watch! Was it my husband? Hahahahaha!!
ReplyDeletewhat excellent entertainment! I'd have been rolling on the floor! except for the part where I seem to be totally allergic to the cottonwoods and my eyes glue themselves shut when it comes rolling down the streets here.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, now he's gonna start grinding on that poor car all over again...glad he isn't my neighbor. Poor guy seems to have little common sense.
ReplyDeleteI would have certainly laughed too! That would be a funny site. As my DH says "There is no law against stupidity!"
ReplyDeleteSometimes free entertainment is funny. He is a moron.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giggle, I can so pickure this event unravelling in front of you.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Cherry blossoms drop their petals it looks like pink snow. :o)
Well there's always the chance he was hoping for a 'texurized' finish *s*
ReplyDeleteHe must be related to the cottage neighbour on this lake....
ReplyDeletethey are everywhere! Keep a watch!
Survival of the fittest? well it makes me wonder. But good entertainment, and a great photo.
