Who wants to chase a dog that sees a rat (or democrat, but I repeat) on the side of the road, and tie up traffic worse?

Travel with animals, keep them penned up.

Personal opinion, no force of law, but I'll say it out loud.

K. Don't buy it. I've seen it twice in 50 years, and managed to run over the twitchy remains of one (not by choice). That was my experience. YMMV.

You are perfectly welcome to come here and explain it to me in person. I'll bet the personal insults stop face-to-face.

.while stopped in traffic.

So it's safe for Fido to jump out and chase around the interstate? Dogs do that kind of thing. When traffic is stopped.

Personal opinion only, no force of law, no interest in making law....

Hark back to John Wayne: "Hold that horse, pilgrim".

And keep the dog penned up when travelling, because nobody wants to deal with your brat.

I really like to look at moving weather maps.

Thanks very much, McGruff!!

If you're planning to watch "Sarah palin's Alaska" tonight. it's the "LOGGER Episode" and the one pic of her with a chain saw can't be posted here, (Getty Image) so when I post the thread in about 75 minutes, I am asking members with the capability, to try to capture a couple of screen shots of her sawing down huge trees!

:)

Shoveled a path for the dog to go out and do her duty just now and it’s coming down at a high rate right now it Connecticut. This could be a big one if that rate keeps up.

They upgraded it to 18”- 24+” north of Boston, some areas as much as 30”.

GUESS WHAT?!!?!?! The planet’s got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell!

Warm globally, cool locally.

UpState NY. It's 13 outside and according to the weather channel, the wind chill is -11.

I was wearing gloves while shoveling. Problem was, one finger tip had a hole. I only managed to clear half of my driveway when my dog begged me to stop. When I took off the glove, that finger with the hole hurt all the way up to the elbow. It was weird feeling that. I rubbed my dog's paws till they warmed up.

I'm so grateful for global warming. Without it, it would have been much colder.

It is now 1am here on Long Island. This was my third time out. I must admit, I did cry when i walked out for the last time because it looked liked I did nothing the other two times i was out there.

My boss (God Bless his heart) texted me and said we wouldn’t be started till early afternoon. One thing I did notice is that my landlords windshield didn’t have as much as mine did (we were face to face).

I warmed up the truck before I started my 3rd shovel, then turned the truck around. Perhaps it was the wind blowing those snow drifts onto my windshield.

Tomorrow will be heck. However, I am grateful I can still with hold my own when it comes to these kinds of things (although my lower back hurts, so here’s comes the heating pad!).
