Sorry for the qoutes Theia. Not a fun AM. When it pours for a couple of hours and the temps are in the mid 20's, you end up with a lot of ice. Just salted my driveway. Probably 1/2 inch of solid ice on it. Temps are now righ about freezing, so hopefully between the salt and rising temps, I will be able to get out of my house at some point today.

Hey all --<br>
Not caught up on the thread yet. But I did see <b>Winter's</b> new avatar. <img alt="" src="http://bestsmileys.com/wow/4.gif" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
Big snowfall this weekend -- in Seattle!!! The whole town freaked out. Then, it was all gone by Sat. night. Today, there is so much rain, flooding has begun. Lovely.<br><br>
Although, it did provide some good comic relief. Wherever there is a good dip in the road (intersections, storm drain areas that are overburdened, etc.) - gigantic puddles are forming. Taking DD to school this a.m., I see a guy standing at the corner of an intersection. HUGE puddle in front of him. Both lanes in front of me are taken, so the car nearest <i>stoogeriffic</i> has no choice but to drive partially through the puddle! 8 - 10 foot spray of water COMPLETELY covered the dude. Felt kinda bad for him, but it was his own fault.... DD couldn't stop laughing. One of those deep belly laughs that just FORCE you to laugh along... Goodness.

Ha! This is exactly what happens in the city when the snow starts melting. You have got to be Jesse Owens to get over the shit. At least I know better than to hang tight to the curb when traffic is a-flowin'

Do you remember Tommy Conwell and The Young Rumblers?<br><br>
Remember Joe Conwell was Tommy's brother and played on the offensive line for the Eagles?

Near misses always suck - the thought of what almost happened is pretty nerve racking. It's better than the alternative though. Glad to hear you're okay.<br><br>
"Two chicks at the same time" - Lawrence<br>
(HH's reference to Office Space)<br><br>
Actually, I'd rent a huge excavator, tear my house down and build what I want. I don't want to change where I live (5 acres on the side of a field - <span style="font-size:xx-small;">[I have a big porch]</span>) - the construction issues with my house continue to beat me up. I'd also design in wind/solar (renewable) energy.<br>
Then, I'd throw a kicking party and you'd be invited!<br>
Other things....make some serious donations to my favorite charities, further DD's college fund, and maybe invest the rest.<br><br>
Good question. I like <b>Winter's</b> answer...very charitable and right up my alley. Good for you.<br>
I got nothin' here. I can't remember (big side effect from sleep deprivation).

I just talked to DS#1. He is complaining because they have already shoveled the deck and porch twice and they have to do it again. It has to be done before hubby gets home. Apparently the snow falling didn't click in their minds that maybe they should wait to shovel until he is almost home.

I think it's hilarious that you enjoyed this enough to post. Makes me love you even more!! Very Calvin-esque!<br><br>
Last year, during our only snow-storm, a bunch of us gathered at the window, and just . . . waited. There was a big hill, covered in ice. BIG-ASS sign saying "Do Not Enter - Snow Closure" Huge sign. Every single one that ignored it ended up sliding backward & crashing into a parked car, or another crashed car that had preceded it. Dumb. Ass.<br><br>
Too funny.

I caught 311 at the Hurricane in Kansas City and I used to go see Uncle Tupelo then Wilco and Son Volt when they still played in dives around St. Louis. My most favorite Wilco show EVAH was when they played at the Red Lion on Lincoln in Chicago. Tiny venue (since demolished, I believe); like Jeff Tweedy was singing just to me. <i>swoon</i>
