Today my dad comes to visit. He is bringing his wife. I have to admit the closer it gets the more nervous I am getting lol. I am sure everything will be all right but...I am still nervous.
I have found myself walking around the house and yard making sure everything is as perfect as I can make it. I don't know why I feel that need. I don't judge people on what things look like. But I guess I feel people will judge me that way. Strange.
Sooooooo... SYTYCD review.
I love the fact that I know absolutely nothing about dance except what feels good to me and I am judging these peoples dances lol
AND yes I am a big nerd and took notes!!
First off Kat.. oh Kat (the announcer) what is up with that bun on top of your head. It looks kind of like the bride of Frankenstein. And pair that with a toga style dress.. It just didn't work sorry.
Billy - (one of the two perfect boys)- Jazz - Well first off I liked his hair a thousand times better then normal. He danced to footloose but it came off more as a teeny bopper Grease performance. Totally cutesy. I feel bad for him because he is one hell of a dancer but this totally didn't show him off at all.
Cristina (Salsa Girl) - contemporary by Sonya - They called this a snake dance. The movements were kind of cool and the song was pretty interesting too. I think she did really well. I liked it.
Jose (B boy) - Hip hop - Well he was pretty lucky to almost get exactly his own style. It was a Twilight/werewolf production lol. I enjoyed it. The woman he was dancing with jumped up and wrapped herself around his head. It was pretty amazing.
Adechike (don't have a nickname) - This was suppose to be a fantasy. A man sitting in his office when a beautiful woman comes in and he goes off into la la land. Well his partner sizzled with sex. Him... not so much. I got the feeling that she scared him lol. It didn't do it for me.
Melinda (tap girl) - Jive - I felt sorry for her. She is tall and gawky. This will be harsh but she reminds me of Alice the Goon. That was only half her problem. She was paired with a man who had the most perfect ass I have ever seen in my life!! I couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from him. With all that... they had no chemistry.
Alex (second half of the perfect boys) - Contemporary - This totally didn't do it for me. I found it to slow. Yes it showed off how great a dancer this guy actually is but the whole thing was just flat for me. Then the judges started gushing about how wonderful it was and I began to wonder if I just watched the same thing.
Alexie (tiny girl) - Hip Hop - This dance had a "boyfriend" crawl through a window. It was super slow for me. It was fun to watch but very very slow and not a normal hip hop.
Lauren (Happy Girl) - The props crack me up. This time it was a couple sitting on a couch and the guy makes a move. They jumped all over that couch. The woman has some LEGS let me tell you lol. It was kind of fun to watch.
Kent (Farm boy) - Cha Cha - OH NO the farm boy has to do a cha cha!!! This dance was so dang fun to watch. His lips were pursed like a carp. He swivelled his hips like a pro. It was like watching your younger brother pretend to be a man. When the dance was over and he started talking he actually made me laugh out loud. I love this kid. He is my favorite personality.
Ashley - contemporary - This dance was suppose to be about love. However I felt none of that. I found it rather boring.
Robert (Dark haired dude with the loud mouth) - African Jazz - Ok first off.. Wtf is African Jazz... Never mind I freaking LOVE African Jazz lol. It was super exciting. Fun. High energy. I totally 100% enjoyed that. Please keep your mouth shut at the end guy because that is what turned me off last time... oh he cried.
So who should go home... Either Adechike or Melinda
Ok I got to go finish getting ready for my dad. Wish me luck.

And here comes my Dad....and Deadliest Catch
So my father and his wife are coming to visit me tomorrow. They just called to say they will be staying two days instead of one. I have no idea what the hell we are going to do!
Now don't get my wrong I love my dad but I don't spend a lot of time with him. In fact this will be the most time I have spent with him....ever I think. My mother and father divorced when I was around 3 and I ended up with my mother. I generally saw dad on holidays. In fact that is pretty much the only time I see him to this day. I have lived in this house for going on twenty years. This is the first visit he has made.
So what the hell are we going to talk about? What are we going to do? Are we going to be bored to death or will everything be fine? I just don't know.
I feel like an ass thinking like this. I should be all excited but instead I am a bit Leary.
I am spending today cleaning the rest of the house and washing the bedding in the spare room. It feels like all I have done for the past few days is clean. I am tired of cleaning.
Last night I watched Deadliest Catch. As I posted before I have no freaking clue how I started watching a reality tv show about Alaskan crab fishermen but I did. And I have been watching it for years and years now. For some reason I really really like it too. During the off season one of the captains died. Captain Phil. So this entire season has been hard to watch. Seeing him so alive and working so hard and waiting for the fall of a great man. See it has been said he told the Discovery channel to film all of it. The stroke, the hospital, and his death aftermath. He said it was reality and so they should show the reality of life. I know that next weeks show is his stroke.
Anyway, last night he started to get woozy. His vision blurred. And I sat there with tears in my eyes thinking oh crap oh crap. He walked downstairs to get some pain medication and busted his son stealing some of it. The next few minutes was some of the most heart wrenching stuff I have ever seen. He yelled and screamed at his son. Called him a thief and a liar. Told him he wanted him out of his life.
The only thing I kept thinking was oh crap this kid and his father are having a monster fight right before he died.
Then the son kept talking about being sick and he needed the medication. Phil said something doesn't add up why are you so sick. Jake (the son) then leans in super close to his dad and says.. "I'm a addict"
That was the end of the show.
It set me back. I mean holy crap. They didn't know at the time that Phil was about to die but I do. All I could do was sit there thinking My God that poor kid is about to go through more hell then just being a addict. He is going to go through his life thinking this fight killed his dad.
And yes... I get WAY TOO involved in my tv!
Speaking of which I hope I have time to post my review for SYTYCD tomorrow before my father gets here lol.

Tale of the toilet part 2
So let me finish yesterdays story.
The water was a inch deep. The bathroom rug was completely underwater. I walked into (YES EWWW) the water to turn off the water main and it still kept flowing. By now I am freaking out. I grab more towels (again EWWW) and put them in front of the doorway. See the hallway is pergo while the bathroom is tile. So flood away bathroom just don't come out in the hallway.
About the time I was going to lose my mind the water stopped flowing. I stood there just staring and wondering what in the hell do I do now. I have a bathroom that has over a inch of standing water in it. So I grabbed my mop and a bucket.
It was at this point I saw that the garage sink was filled with black goo too. So
I started sucking up the water in the bathroom with my mop. Suck suck suck, empty bucket, suck suck suck , empty bucket. Over and over and over again. It took a hell of a long time and I was sweaty and filthy.
I called the honey and told him what had happened. He told me to call a plumber. So I did.
While waiting I finished sucking the water off the floor. I noticed that the sink, toilet and tub were filled with the black goo. Which of course means the kitchen sink would be too.
At this point I felt like crying.
The plumber finally arrived. (9:58am) After figuring out what he thought was the problem he started to try to remove a plug from a drain under my sink. (not a clog but a actual drain plug.) It was stuck. He tried and tried and tried to get the plug off. It wouldn't come. So he called in back up. Two more plumbers come.(1:13 pm) They pound away with hammers. Then bring out freaking power tools and cut off the plug. The whole time I am standing there thinking CRAP. It had now been about 3 hours I think.
Those two leave after breaking the plug and leaving a gapping hole in the pipe under my sink. My first guy runs a snake and it gets stuck. He tries again and again and again. It won't go anywhere.
In the meantime the honey keeps calling me. He is getting increasing pissed off. I am frazzled. I can't pee. I am covered in ewwww. I am tired from lack of sleep.
Then the plumber turns to me and says I can't do it. So are you going to pay me?
What? Wait! You can't fix it and you are going to leave? Now?
I lost it. I was so nice all day. I was mellow. But when the plumber said he couldn't fix it and was I going to pay him.... I lost it.
It is kind of blurry... I remember standing in the kitchen pointing at the sink and yelling. Is it fixed? Can I go to the bathroom without it over flowing? You want me to pay you and it is the exact same as when you came except for THE GIANT HOLE UNDER MY SINK.
He said he understood and I could just pay him half.
*snort. RIGHT
I told him FIX THIS RIGHT NOW OR FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN!! AND NO I AM NOT PAYING YOU!
So the 4th plumber arrived. (2:49pm)
He came in with some kind of fancy snake thing. He set himself up in my kitchen and proceeded to snake the pipe. His worked and he left to get a new plug for the drain. The original plumber starts putting back together my kitchen sink. Only he can't. Because now it leaks. Bad. So when plumber #4 comes back Plumber #1 explains the problem. Plumber#4 replaces the brand new plastic pipe that the honey had installed to replace the metal pipe that he hated around 4 months ago with a metal pipe.
At this point I didn't care. My sinks and tub and bathroom are still coated in goo. I still haven't been able to go to the bathroom.
(4:45pm) The honey pulls up just as the plumbers were finally dragging the last of their stuff out the door. He of course sits outside talking shop with them.
me... I walked the house to see what needed to be done now that I had water. The first thing was clean up all the black goo and dirt from the cupboards under my kitchen sink. The second was replace all of the stuff that I removed from under the sink. The third was clean up all the black goo in the garage, the bathroom and the kitchen.
But the first thing. WASH MY HANDS!!!! And Pee!!!! And then wash my hands another 20 some odd times.
The honey walked in and asked if we were going to eat dinner. Let's just say I almost killed him on the spot and I am pretty damn sure a jury would have let me off lol.
I spent the remainder of the evening cleaning with bleach. And today... I am going back over everything with bleach.
FUN STUFF right?

Plumbing problems from hell
Kept me busy all day long. After not sleeping all night long..
Imagine this.... wandering around until almost 3am because you can't sleep. Nothing you do helps you want to sleep. Finally at 3 you get pissed off and go lay down only to stare at the ceiling. The next morning construction workers wake you up at oh dark thirty. So there you are standing with your cup of coffee. Your eyes are like sandpaper. You are kind of wobbly... you decide.. HEY I might as well start that load of laundry I stuffed in the washer yesterday.
So you drag your happy ass into the garage and turn on the washer. With your cup of coffee that you have only taken about three sips of you sit your butt in the chair in front of the computer to wake up.
BLUP BLUP BLUP
What in the hell was that? I get up and walk into the bathroom and see giant bubbles in my toilet... then it stops.
In my brain dead mind I turned back around and sat back down thinking WTF.
BLURP BLUB BLUB BLUB
I get back up and walk into the bathroom just in time to see the clear bubbling water in my freaking toilet turn dark brown... then black... then begin to pour out of the toilet onto the floor.
At this point I am pretty sure I looked like this....
I grabbed everything I could and shoved it in front of the door. Towels, clothes anything fabric that I had within reach. And the water kept coming.
I was freaking out.
The water was now literally an inch deep.
and I am to freaking tired so you have to wait until tomorrow for the rest of the story lol

So you think you can dance....
I have a tv habit. One of my habits is watching So you think you can dance. So be prepared to hear my opinions on it since I can't shut up lol
After watching last night I have a feel of how it is going to go. Sort of.
The first thing I noticed was the "all stars" are going to be a distraction. I don't think it is going to work the way they think it is. I want to watch people who are competing. I feel like having the all stars in the mix just confuses things.
My opinions on last nights show... sorry but you have to deal with my nicknames until I get their real names lol.
Dance #1 had farmboy Kent and happy blond girl. These two are my favorite personality wise. The dance was different and made you watch. I kept getting confused as to who was who as they danced but all in all it was funky and fun.
Dance #2 had tap girl and some other girl.... I was bored out of my mind to the point I almost forgot about this dance.
Dance #3 had beat boy dread dude.. I like him. I really really enjoyed the beginning of the dance. After that it was more like a free for all. To many dancers that were not competing.
Dance #4 Had salsa girl. I have to admit that I didn't watch to much of her because I was distracted by the perfect abs on the male dancer.. who again was not part of the competition!
Dance #5 Had Billy and Alex. Wow. This was my favorite of the night. Both of those men are incredible. They need to perk up the personality a bit to match their skills and they could go all the way to the end. LOVED this dance.
Dance #6 I have no idea who was competing due to the number of dancers. I do know that the dark haired man was part of it. I was sort of disappointed in the dance. The song screamed out freak but the dancers didn't bring freak. It was just ok for me. The dark haired dude totally turned me off with his blabber mouth at the end though.
Does anyone else watch this? If you don't I totally think you all should start watching so you know what I am talking about LMAO

Empathy
This blog world is a weird and wonderful thing. As I was reading blogs and a board I visit every day one of my buddies said something about a wiener dog race. That pushed a button in my mind and reminded me that I needed to look at a blog I hadn't looked at in a while.
Remember how I switched computers and lost everything? Well she was one of them. I used to read her daily and was completely excited to go read what I had missed.
I missed a lot it seems.
Her son at the age of twenty committed suicide. I can't explain to you the sense of shock and disbelief that flowed through me. Here is this beautiful, healthy, happy kid gone in an instant. Here is a family that is going through a hell of their own.
He had a constant smile on his face and in his eyes.
It just slammed home the fact that we don't know what is going on inside of people.
My heart just bled.
I hurt for her. It was one of those rare times when you wish that you could reach through the computer and hug someone who you have never met.
Hallie is a freaking strong woman though. She took a tragedy and turned it into something more then just a tragedy. She made the tough choice to donate his organs so others could live. Tell me how much strength that must have taken. How much love she sent to random strangers she will never meet. In her hour of sadness she brought hope to others. Amazing woman.
She and her entire family plus some friends are joining in on Out of the Darkness Overnight.
“Out of the Darkness Overnight” is an 18-mile walk that will take place on June 26th-27th throughout the streets of Boston, beginning at dusk and continuing till dawn. This walk is to bring awareness to depression and suicide.
Each member of the team needs to fund raise $1000 in order to be able to walk this. Her team has raised above their goal BUT several members have not reached the thousand dollar mark in order to walk.
Here is the team page.
I sincerely wish that there was something more I could do to help this family. I wish there were words I could say that would ease pain for them. It is hard to feel so very helpless.

Tiny bites to get my mind in order and my blog flowing
I don't know what is up with me. I can't seem to get in the flow lately. I walk around telling myself that I need to blog yet when I sit at the computer I end up doing everything else but blog lol.
My dogs are funny eaters. They take a bite of food then walk around and later come back and take another bite. This means the bowl stays pretty full all day. However, I decided they needed a different flavor. (I do this once in a while) Only this time I bought IAMS in the red bag. I had never bought it before but I hoped they would like it. Well... they seem to like it to much. In fact I have taken to calling it doggie crack. I fill the bowl and within 20 minutes the bowl is empty. They freaking LOVE it. Part of me is happy they like it so much while the other part of me is wondering if them liking it to much is a problem.
Somehow within the last week I have tweaked my shoulder. Tweaked it to the point I have a problem lifting anything with that arm. Thankfully it is my non dominant arm but still. It freaking hurts. I have no idea what I did to it but I sure wish it would go back to normal.
I need to make a appointment to get my boobs squished. I am completely procrastinating. I also need to make an appointment to find out why one of my ears is still hearing that damn wooshing heartbeat sound. It hasn't been the same since I had that double ear infection. And I still can't hear right. To the point the honey tells me I am talking to loud.
Within the last few weeks I have had some crazy dreams.
Dream #1
A friend of mine owned a huge HUGE house that was falling apart. She had inherited it. It was so crooked that if you put a ball on the floor it instantly went to the one side of the house. It was hard to walk through it. She considered it a lost cause (it was) so a group of us were all going through it to see what we could salvage. There were at least a hundred rooms with strange themes. One was a black and white checkerboard with about 30 pillars and black and white dice the size of watermelons. Others were plain with just a mattress on the floor. There were statues and normal stuff in all kinds of room. My friend was just going to let it fall down since it was mostly bank owned and way to damaged to fix.
We all gathered in a room to determine the best way to remove stuff without dying. From another room came a moan and there was suddenly a...... um.... man thing with some kind of cloak and bare chest standing in a hallway. It was not friendly. Some of my friends said it was a ghost so I went over and reached through the doorway to see and it grabbed me.
That is when I woke up.
Dream #2
First I had a baby.. well not had it.. but I had one with me. I needed diapers so someones uncle said they would take me while someone else watched the baby. However 5 minutes into the drive I realized he was drunk off his ass. He slammed us through a plate glass store front going pretty damn fast. I remember looking at him while I was covered in blood, he laughed and put the car in reverse to leave.
(dream switched)
The honey and I and another woman got in a huge fight in San Francisco. I got out of the truck to yell and He and the woman left me there. With bare feet and no purse. During some kind of city wide rave thing. Blinking lights everywhere.
I wandered around trying to find a phone so I could call Sazy to come get me. I finally was able to borrow a cell phone from a guy only to realize I had no idea what sazy's phone number was without my phone. I remembered my uncles phone number and it took almost 20 minutes of crying and yelling for him to believe me and say he would come get me. I thanked the cell phone guy... walked outside and as I stood there alone waiting for my uncle I ended up about as tall as the mothra girls.
That is when I woke up.
I have no idea what is going on with these dreams.
This job hunting SUCKS. And the media is not helping my piece of mind at all. Yesterday I read a article on how after 6 months your chances of landing a job drop by 48%. Ummm.... I am almost at a year here. This extension runs out in two checks. I am hopeful that I will get another extension but I would much much much rather get another job. I am beginning to grow moss. I am beginning to feel useless too.
A friend of mine is getting married in Lake Tahoe in August. I love Tahoe so going is not a problem. The problem is it is on a Sunday at 4pm. Tahoe is a four and half hour drive from my house. So if the honey is going to go he either needs to take Monday off or we need to drive home in the dark for 4 1/2 hours. Something I know he will not want to do.
The other day I purchased some books for my kindle. I started reading one of the books and realized I had pretty much purchased a soft core male on male porn novel. But can I tell you something? That book was FREAKING HOT as hell. It was so good that I bought a second one with the same type of story from the same author.
*fans self. Whoooo weeeee that book was smoking.
Ok. It is garbage day again. (everyone don't get so excited now) So I am off to the store to buy kitty litter and the makings of dinner. Then it is doggie bath time, laundry time, garbage removal time, and blah blah blah lol
My dogs are funny eaters. They take a bite of food then walk around and later come back and take another bite. This means the bowl stays pretty full all day. However, I decided they needed a different flavor. (I do this once in a while) Only this time I bought IAMS in the red bag. I had never bought it before but I hoped they would like it. Well... they seem to like it to much. In fact I have taken to calling it doggie crack. I fill the bowl and within 20 minutes the bowl is empty. They freaking LOVE it. Part of me is happy they like it so much while the other part of me is wondering if them liking it to much is a problem.
Somehow within the last week I have tweaked my shoulder. Tweaked it to the point I have a problem lifting anything with that arm. Thankfully it is my non dominant arm but still. It freaking hurts. I have no idea what I did to it but I sure wish it would go back to normal.
I need to make a appointment to get my boobs squished. I am completely procrastinating. I also need to make an appointment to find out why one of my ears is still hearing that damn wooshing heartbeat sound. It hasn't been the same since I had that double ear infection. And I still can't hear right. To the point the honey tells me I am talking to loud.
Within the last few weeks I have had some crazy dreams.
Dream #1
A friend of mine owned a huge HUGE house that was falling apart. She had inherited it. It was so crooked that if you put a ball on the floor it instantly went to the one side of the house. It was hard to walk through it. She considered it a lost cause (it was) so a group of us were all going through it to see what we could salvage. There were at least a hundred rooms with strange themes. One was a black and white checkerboard with about 30 pillars and black and white dice the size of watermelons. Others were plain with just a mattress on the floor. There were statues and normal stuff in all kinds of room. My friend was just going to let it fall down since it was mostly bank owned and way to damaged to fix.
We all gathered in a room to determine the best way to remove stuff without dying. From another room came a moan and there was suddenly a...... um.... man thing with some kind of cloak and bare chest standing in a hallway. It was not friendly. Some of my friends said it was a ghost so I went over and reached through the doorway to see and it grabbed me.
That is when I woke up.
Dream #2
First I had a baby.. well not had it.. but I had one with me. I needed diapers so someones uncle said they would take me while someone else watched the baby. However 5 minutes into the drive I realized he was drunk off his ass. He slammed us through a plate glass store front going pretty damn fast. I remember looking at him while I was covered in blood, he laughed and put the car in reverse to leave.
(dream switched)
The honey and I and another woman got in a huge fight in San Francisco. I got out of the truck to yell and He and the woman left me there. With bare feet and no purse. During some kind of city wide rave thing. Blinking lights everywhere.

WTF is wrong with people
Seriously!
People seem to have lost all manners. They have lost the meaning of what is considered rude.
Here are just a few examples that have happened in the last couple of days.
Today I decided I get a treat. I was going to go buy a McDonald's hamburger. mmmmmm..... I haven't had one of those in a really really long time. So I hope in my car and drive to the closest drive through. As I pull up I see that the line (which is going away from me) is pretty long. So I drive through the parking lot and turn around so I am facing the right way and get into line.
I am about 6 cars back. No big deal right. After all this is my treat.
So I am sitting there waiting when another car comes from the direction I had just driven into the parking lot. But instead of driving around and getting in line this woman pulls along side the car in the front of the line and waits. Now there is no way in hell she didn't see the line. But regardless of the other cars waiting she deemed herself more important.
She actually shoves her car in front of the second car in line. If that car hadn't stopped she would have hit him.
I have to ask you... Was this ok? I mean because she was faced the opposite way as the line did the line not matter for her? Seriously WTF.
A few days ago we went to Costco. We loaded up the basket and headed towards the long lines. We are about 4th or 5th in line. No big deal after all when you go to costco you expect two things. A full basket that is going to cost you more then a hundred bucks and a long line right?
So the guy at the head of the line unloads his cart on the conveyor. The check out guy rings up his stuff and tells him how much it is. At this point he starts looking around and yelling for Mary.
Ok the wife must have the money right?
Nope.
About three minutes later here comes Mary with a giant cart filled to the top with stuff.
The guy then proceeds to hand the cashier each item in her cart.
Every person in the line was in shock. Now I can understand having two carts. Not a big deal. But to hold up an entire line to do your friends order after yours is complete when she wasn't even in line? Not freaking cool.
People were angry. Hell I was angry. Seriously WTF.
My grocery store has wonderful sweet people who work there. They remember your name. They remember details about previous conversations. They actually like their jobs. The woman in front of me the other day was yabbing on her cell phone.
The grocery clerk said hello and started to ring her up. She actually turned her back to her and continued to talk. And talk. AND TALK.
The grocery store clerk told her how much it was.
Talk talk talk.
She told her again.
Talk talk talk.. with her back to her.
The third time I actually got pissed. I tapped the lady and told her that she was done and maybe she could deal with what she was doing before she talked anymore.
Without a word to me or the clerk but plenty more to her phone she paid and left.
Seriously WTF
I hate that we live like this. That some people are so full of themselves that they feel they can get away with shit like that.
What is wrong with these people? Are they really that blind? Have we really created a society where it is ok to be an ass? UGH

Can someone just please go clean up the oil
Seriously what is it going to take for someone to just shut up, step up to the plate and try to do something. I understand that this is something no one has dealt with before but instead of sitting on our asses waiting for the leak to be plugged before the clean up efforts start maybe we should get up and do something.
Nationwide. Get everyone involved. Pay people to clean!
We are in the middle of one of the worst crisis's ever and people are having meetings and pointing fingers. Do that shit after the problem is taken care of.
I understand that BP had the well. That the well was owned by some other company. Who gives a flying fuck.
We as a nation including our government need to step up and do anything and everything we can. Hurricane season is coming quickly. Things are about to get a hundred times worse.
Animals and birds and who knows what the hell else is dying. The oil has reached the coastline.
Why are we waiting for BP to purchase the booms that stop the oil? Send the damn things now and decide later who pays for them. Hell how about this concept... Donate the damn things.
I don't understand the attitude in regards to this. Congressional hearings? WTF
Just get the freaking job done.
That oil isn't just floating on the top people. It is sinking to the bottom too. It isn't just floating or sinking either. It is grabbed up in the current and dragged all over hell and gone. We are looking at something that is going to plague us for years and years to come.
Hire me to go clean. I will. I am unemployed and if you were hiring I would go in a heartbeat. Take over a few hotels (compensated properly) and house all of us who are willing and able to stand on a freaking beach with a bag and a oil grabber.
UGH this frustrates me to no end!!!

What do you do about something like this!
This is a sinkhole that opened up in Guatemala. They are estimating it to be over 30 stories deep.
It has all ready eaten a three story building and a house. And as you can see it is right in the middle of town.
Do you try to fill that up? How the hell much stuff would you have to put in there before it got full? Do you leave it alone? If you do does it eat the neighborhood one building at a time as it gets bigger. And it sure looks like it would get bigger.
If you work in the building next to the sinkhole do you continue to go to work? Do you work in fear of being swallowed?
Do you build some kind of concrete cover for it knowing that the ground underneath is gone? Could be eroding as you stand there.
I find it incredibly interesting that these extremely large sinkholes seem to be popping up everywhere.
