Little did we know


These two trees mean a lot to me. I have walked under them in the spring, summer, fall and winter; bare, full of toilet paper, shading the sun from my heat-stricken body, or covering the ever so lightly falling rain. So I was totally shocked and taken aback by the recent incident of the twin oaks on Toomer's Corner. I will never look at them the same. I actually grieved, yes, grieved a sad sad day when I heard the news of them possibily not making it. And this is in all seriousness.

I took the previous picture on Jan. 22nd without knowing why they looked so bare. Was it because all the hype from the recent national championship was 3 blocks away in Jordan-Hare Stadium at that exact moment anticipating the next rolling of Toomer's, or did the oaks just seem to be lacking something? We know now, unfortunately.

All I have to say is Bodda getta bodda getta bodda getta bah, rah-rah-rah, sis-boom-bah! Weegle, weegle War damn Eagle! Kick 'em in the butt big blue! Hey!
Oh, and WAR EAGLE!!

  1. I just got your comment. Yes, I am doing Tour of Duty, but I'm going a little slower than everybody else. I am currently in Alabama. I've been here just about a year since my husband deployed last year. We are technically stationed at Fort Drum, NY. Where are you located? You can email me if you want. jessica.leann@yahoo.com I'm just outside of Huntsville. Oh, and uh... ROLL TIDE!! LOL I still can't believe that about the trees. So stupid of someone.
