NOTICE: Sometimes Teabaggers are just plain idiots. There is a teabagger that lives behind me here in Costa Rica. This guy KNOWS EVERYTHING, he'll gladly tell you that, and anyone who will listen to him. Welllllll, he has been chopping down beautiful giant trees all over his property the past week and TODAY one fell on the power lines and shut down the power for 2 hours until the crews could get out here and fix it. At least 100 homes and the water pumping station were without electricity. Right after he chopped down the tree, he got into his SUV and left. I hope the power company charges him for all the damage he did.
That is the reason for my late post today! Idiot.
