Suit yourself. If you don't want to participate in a thread where people are genuinely concerned about other people's misfortunes, why don't you go find a nice immigration thread to rant on?
I try, but sometimes it's REALLY hard.
I slept late this morning and woke up to what looked to be very threatening weather. It was piuring rain and there were limbs down in the front yard. Cleared pretty quickly though. It's beautiful out there now, for whick I'm sure all the folks that come here for the fishing are grateful.
Hey Sandy, does your government job get you the day off tomorrow?
Talk to you later Sandy, got to get back to the BBQ now.....
Same here in Arkansas. Al gore's global warming warnings just aren't getting much traction, are they?
Why, yes, it does. Thank you!
You know its bad when it's piuring out.
;-)
Anything near Springfield, Missouri? My sister is there.
Well, Algore is a loon, as we all know.
Seriously,this is the strangest weather. Last Memorial Day, I was shelling English peas and this year it was nearly Father's Day before I picked our pea patch.
My potato patch is taking over the garden and the ones I have dug are bigger than those huge bakers you get in steakhouses. The tomatoes are big as grapefruit and still pea green. The corn is eight feet tall and tasseled but the ears are still tiny.
We have cut probably eight heads of broccoli and have ten more coming on. the melons and cucumbers seem to be making vines and blossoms but no fruit. I don't get it.
We had almost no snow last year and I have had it in my mind that we are going to get a hard winter.
Is it the same where you're at in Arkansas?
Had strong winds and rain early this morning....got a big tree limb through the auto windshield. It missed the house by only a couple of feet.
July 22 of 2003 my flagpole was bent 45 degrees and the flags still havn't been found. Storm is gone now.
Drummonds, TN
The storm came through Millington, TN and did a lot of tree and power line damage. I heard a call on the police scanner about a gof cart on the Navy base that was struck by a flling tree. I don't know how bad it was, but they did transport 2 people to the Tramua Center in Memphis.
If the place you live is so perfect what are you angry about? ie. your tagline
Well, I just moved to the house I'm in now and I don't have a garden yet, but the weather is definitely stranger than in years past. We've have a few really hot days and excessive rain. Not as many tornadoes as usual, thankfully, and we have mosquitoes from hell. We have mosquitoes every year, but nothing like this. They re so bad they're working in shifts. Even early in the morning going outdoors in shorts is a call to breakfast. I guess it's all the moisture and there has been a lot of flooding too, since late April. Did you ever see the movie "Frogs?" That's kinda what the atmosphere reminds me of. I have to admit, though, that I have been enjoying the milder temperatures.
Pssst, it's just a joke, relax....
yep....fairly clear here.
I think there is a chance of t-storms in the next hour.
"Anything near Springfield, Missouri? My sister is there."
We had rain early in SGF but the severe weather went around us....mostly to the south. Sun came out about noon and it's a beautiful day now.
No earthquakes, no tornados, no smoke [not compared to last week] and best of all no tourists!
