Today I turned thirty three years old. Here is a fun music video from when I was in high school called Thirty Three.

It’s coming to get me. I swear, I’m not crazy.

What’s this about?

Well, the neighbor kids have a power wheels tractor that has been in the back of our back yard for months. They haven’t been out to claim it do to the winter cold.

The last several days when I would go out to the jeep to go to work I noticed the tractor getting closer.
Every morning it is closer to the house. In fact it has even seemed to steer itself in our direction. It used to face the neighbors back yard.
Now this morning it was almost to the jeep.
