the curb.......

ok, so after years of family fussing about heavy rain that floods our porch as it flows downhill toward the creek.....the county has installed a black curb along the road that begins just before our fence and continues to our driveway.....where rainfall will now presumably collect in our garage.....no large rains since this curb showed up...but i cannot seem to remember from day to day that it is there....and so when i stumble out to get the newspaper in the semi-darkness i trip over it....no injuries yet...but it would seem the kind of obstacle that will break your nose, eventually.....
