Is it a sign of the apocalypse when a giant hole opens up in your yard? Or is it just a promotional gimmick for Ghostbusters III? If the latter, I wasn't advised. It turns out it's pretty hard to get anyone excited over a giant hole in the yard – the town was quick to check it out, but it wasn't by the water line and hadn't swallowed the road, so they went on their way. I knew it was near the gas line, but as it hadn't yet exploded, that detail wasn't too interesting to my gas provider. Once I confirmed that I could see bare gas pipe in the hole and called back with that information, I got a little bit more attention, but they still didn't know quite what to do. After pulling some teeth, I got them to commit to looking at it. Someday.
So, if you're walking around my yard, watch your step!
Hey, I think we need to see a picture of this hole to appreciate it. Was the version of Convoy you linked to by Canadian Paul Brandt? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQJNnkXSzws
I wasn't taking my camera out into whatever it was that it was doing yesterday -- wintry mix, the weather people call it. And I'm a little frightened to find that anyone other than C.W. McCall ever recorded "Convoy."
