I can remember running after my daughter when she was a teen with the same message. "You forgot your coat". Her answer would be "but it doesn't match my dress/shoes". Well duh, mom!

We don't live in a very cold climate, thankfully, or she would have frozen to death.

Sounds EXACTLY like our daughter. Common sense is in short supply these days.

LOL!

You should see this thread,

How to Lose a War

Both the main article, and post #28, by DMZFrank, are excellent.

I believe that would be a 30 pack or at a minimum a beer- ball.
I am glad there are survivalists out there just like me. Or find a hockey rink and wait for the men's league to finish.
Pleanty to drink there.

And Tet '07 is soon.

I wasn't in country for the Tet Offensive (and the general uprising.....hahaha) but it sure sped up training at the expense of any leave that all in my class had coming. Was there for and involved in the Air War, '69-'71. Missed the '72 Easter offensive too, back in the Big PX. But the Easter Offensive went the way of the Tet Offensive and Giap got his ass kicked a second time.

Thanks for the Welcome Home......'cause it wasn't that way in '71.

...we withdrew...

Did you ever finish?

I'm amazed people don't pack a pair of Wiggy's sleeping bags. They're compressible and can save your life in those kinds of situations. When you're potentially stranded, you should carry food, bottled water and a sleeping bag - double it if you're a couple along with flares.

I have one or two of these in all my rigs:



$2.50 won't even buy you a freakin Latte at Charbucks, but it might save your life!

It wouldn't work in the Northeast, but you get the idea.

we have those tree cell phone towers in NY.

the reason the enviro whackos didn't want them in the aidirondacks, is that they didn't change color in the fall to match the scenery.

already now, after this death, the legislature is talking about emergency action to rectify this situation.

I left Phoenix in July on my bike headed down the i-10 to LA two years ago. Clutch basket blew and I sat on the side of the road 7 1/2 hours til a cop stopped. It was pure hell

How do you convert that to Whiskey (Single Malt of course)?

How old? I believe that is an important factor in the conversion.

ALWAYS pack some blankets when traveling in cold weather.

Keep them within reach in the car, not in the back seat or trunk. I had a one-car accident on a remote road on a cold night. Alone, and with a broken back, all I could do was reach a few inches with my right hand. My coat was in the back seat, the blankets in the trunk, and the wreck killed the car heater. I was able to reach my cell phone, luckily had service, and got rescued fairly quickly. It's probably the only day in my life I had the phone that close to me.

The EnvironMENTALists won't allow us dig for oil, and they won't allow cell phone towers (but they MIGHT allow the towers if they are disguised as a tree. NUTS).

Why do they have such control over us?

I've driven the same route a few times at about this time of year. Glad I don't anymore.

[ntnychik]

Parts of Connecticut have cute fake evergreen tree cell towers. They fit right in with the scenery.

Tell me it was completely inadvertent that the headline, "Death Freeeze Trap" was next to a picture of Sen. Clinton and "Hillary for 2008."

LOL! Brought a tear to my eye.

Common sense is in short supply these days.
