I know I shouldn't be a buttinsky on your conversation there, Kathy, but I'm going to anyway.   Do your plow people ever go around aiming for your mailboxes there?

We once lived in a place (not Alaska) where the plow guys came around and I think actually aimed for peoples' mailboxes, to plow them down.   (They once knocked ours down there, and later the city replaced it, but we had had a really good (pretty) one there, and they replaced it with a lousy, cheap, ugly one!)

We all ended up there having to put all kinds of reflectors around the mailboxes, and little boards to block the plowed snow, etc.   (I think they were just resentful that they had to get up at three in the morning to plow the streets, and they took it out on our mailboxes at the time!   I think they might have taken a swig or two along the way too!)

I imagine ALL the plow guys throughout the city are busting their butts and have been the past 24 hours. No way to keep up with it while it was coming down so hard. Now with the lull they can maybe start catching up and get the roads cleared. There were snow plows small and large hustling and bustling all around the airports all day.
I just made a quick run through several of the downtown cams and the main streets are in decent shape. Time for all the guys to hit the rest of the streets so y’all can get out. There’s no way you’re getting out on your own tomorrow!

I hope the radar’s telling the truth this time and you ARE getting a little rain, at least.

I’m not eeeeeven thinking ahead to spring right now. I’m grateful for the rain so we don’t have wildfires. I don’t know how we got through the fall without the whole state turning into an inferno, we were so dry. There were fires but apparently none got too out of hand. Whew!

Evening, Kathy! Wow! What a pivotal date.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, lightman, for the link...I've read it multiple times and it is always a good read.

Our thanks to your Dad for his service to our country.

My dad was a Merchant Marine on various Liberty Ships

Good evening, luvie...thanks for the wonderful link.

Good for you, Fiji...I hope the woke gag really badly.

Great song for the time!

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Were you and Gizmo able to head out to the lake yesterday for some fun?

[luvie]

You’re welcome. I admire his dedication especially at his age. Oh, the stories he can tell.

[E.G.C.]

Well, I checked my credit card account this morning and saw that I got a credit which put me above my credit limit. apparently one of the places that got hit with this problem saw what happened and gave me a credit so I'm back in the black for now.

But yep, we had a great visit to Wichita Ridge yesterday. Here are the pics.

[radu]

Glad things are squared away with your card.

It looks like Gizmo did a lot of exploring, dragging you along the way. LOL

It’s looking a bit soggy over there tonight. I hope the rain moves out by the time you’re ready to head out to the lake later.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Captain Peter Blood...a good movie choice.
