Can't tell really, but it doesn't look like it.
Just nasty cold.

[phantomworker]

For some reason, I remember the legs, too... LOL!

"You are the first to celebrate about it."

He's a strange one. Snowshark?

Es is in Mexico and/or Texas. I am in the NW. What part of the country are you at, Darks? I keep forgetting. I know I was beeping at you from my Celica, but can't remember where I was? Just curious...???

[Darksheare]

New York state.
Sorta southernly/southeasternly from nics.

[Sundog]

Thank you so much Westy,

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hoh River Wa. Another hike on my itinerary. My wife loves ferns.

[phantomworker]

I Love NY!

I grew up in WI, so I know cold! At least you get all the seasons, which is so cool!

The NW is kind of mild, but overcast almost all the time! Westy and I live in the same city!

[Darksheare]

I was born in Toledo Ohio.
Grew up just over the NY NJ border in Vernon NJ, and came to NY in 1988.

Currently the small dairy farms in my immediate area are being crushed out of existence by insane taxes, levies, and regulations stuck on them.

That sucks. I am getting to be more and more a libertarian. My niece and husband own a large dairy farm in WI. I think they crush smaller farms. I think they have too much, too young though. They took over her husband's family's dairy business. But farmers work hard! 24/7.

Well, 14 years of Emperor Mario M Cuomo and the previous Dem governors, and some strange regs were put on the books.
Pataki has tried to fix stuff, but there is only so much the governor can do without the cooperation of the state assembly.
(Sheldon Silver.. cooperate? Yeah, and I'll grow wings and fly.)


It has been theorized that the state would be crippled and bankrupt if they did actually try to fix things.
Farmers have a set regulated minimum they can charge for milk regardless of the minimum local price, the famr land has been reassessed at higher tax value than it really has so the taxes onteh farms goes up, and farm subsidies that are supposed to help out local area farmers go instead to larger farms elsewhere.

The scandal that isn't spoken of, actually.
Friends of the missus whose family has been dairy farmers since the Revolutionary War recently had to sell off land and livestock to cover the reassessed tax value of the land.
Insane, but that's NY politics and business.

Place is pretty, the people and politicians tend to mess it up.
For the first time in awhile, my county went Republican in the last election.
Any other political parties here are Greens, and socialist workers party.
*snicker*

[EsmeraldaA]

My computer went into some kind of a temper tantrum.

[Darksheare]

Yikes!

I didn't touch it.
*chuckle*

I should head off to bed.
I have to be ready in the morning incase icing causes some accidents.
*I hope not*

[EsmeraldaA]

Okay Darks.

That was scary actually...

[EsmeraldaA]

Yes , he IS weird...

[Darksheare]

Do a virus scan, and a spyware scan if the problem isn't hardware related.

[EsmeraldaA]

Yes, okay.

For some reason it went into a 'work offline' mode.

Very odd....

[Darksheare]

Hmm.. could be that your internet connection went kaput for a second or three.
What's weather out your way, and does it effect your connection at all?

[EsmeraldaA]

Maybe, but I don't think so.
My iChat and MSN were the only two things working.
It is a very clear night and we are now at 44*, but I would have problems only with a very severe storm.

[Darksheare]

Hmm..
Okers.
Check for virii, and run a spyware check if you have a proggy to check for them.

I'm heading off to bed.
Hopefully it was just a fluke thing.
You'll have to let me know later on.

You guys up there have to dumb both Slivers and Bruno...

Pass on Senate Run, Pirro is Told
by Mark Schoenberger/Linda Loy
Published Dec 07, 2005

Add the head of New York State's Conservative Party to the list of people who say Jeanine Pirro should end her bid for the U.S. Senate.

Michael Long says Pirro should run for state attorney general. Long says Pirro "didn't seize the moment" last week to shut down her struggling Senate campaign, after meeting with Governor Pataki.

Pirro has been courting state and county Conservative party leaders for their support in her challenge against Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.
