I hope you’re all OK. It would seem we have had such mild winters for several years that no one seems prepared to remember what a “snow storm” means.
I remember them when I was growing up. We lived in the Rockies. When it was winter, we had snow. Because we were in coal mining country, coal dust was used on the roads instead of salt, so I had never known about salting the streets.
Alaska has snow, too, and all I can say is, if you don’t like winter, don’t go there! LOL!
I agree, he was pretty cute.
Well, about two or so years ago we had a blizzard here much like the storm from yesterday.
Dumped about twenty six inches of globull worming on us.
Well, the road crews were so unprepared that many of them were still at home when the worst of the snow hit.
Roads didn’t get done, highways were impassable.
I was supposed to go into work that night and got stuck in my driveway, high centered on snow.
[This was a January snowstorm]
December that year we had yet another snow storm where the road crews sat on their duffs and did exactly nothing.
For about six hours.
Finally, after an unholy number of accidents and complaints, they finally came out to...
..salt the roads.
How competent of them.
So color me surprised that they actually were working last night instead of sitting at the bay or at home as previously.
Oh, and they didn’t shove crap into my driveway like they normally do!
*heart attack city*
Hey, that’s the exact spot the car got high centered on the snow in 2010.
So that’d be three years back then instead of two.
*guh*
Hey! That looks like snow!! Do you have any idea how much that’s WORTH????
(”Booger” from Better Off Dead...)
Well, let's see... if the snow was extracted from cocoa plant extracts, it would have a street value of bazillions, but it's not all it's cracked up to be...
Wrong plant.
Cocoa plants give us chocolate.
Coca plants give us chemical induced schizopohrenia and idiots attempting to snort the white line on the road.
I blame the spelchequer..
From what I've read, Win 8 IS the problem.
The Spelling Chicken, an evil so hideous that it has to hide behind HTML and CSS scripting.
It pecks your post to death and then clucks in satisfaction afterwards.
EVIL I tell you!
Pure feathered EVIL!
And worse is this: he LIKES it! LOL!
“Coca plants give us chemical induced schizopohrenia and idiots attempting to snort the white line on the road.”
That joke is even funnier here, the white lines are up the middle of the road.
Has one ever chewed the Cocaleaf in the great green southern continent?
Steppenwolf - Snowblind Friend
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin' on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on 'til next Monday
But he spent it all on comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he'll always be another one of us
He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?
Flyin' low, dyin' slow

I’m used to the leaf chewers being refered to as “moscas” because they won’t do anything until they chew their leaf with the little nibble of lime powder before taking action at any job.
They say they feel energized.
The rest of the world watches in amazement as they zombie stumble around.
*shrugs*
Not my idea of agood time.
Yeah, forgot about the white lines being in the middle in England.
Here they are at the side of the road.
Right about where you see most possum playing dead.
Or not playing as the case may be.
I actually very rarely see possum at the center yellow line here.
Kinda hard to read that and imagine it being said in that voice the lead singer had.
That’s not my fault.
Maybe, but John Kay sang it...
