nice to see that the high oil prices are getting somebody a sweet ride

not

let's hope the prince of brunei enjoys it, he could be next in chain to topple.

I'm a little bit happy about the oil prices...oil goes up--coal prices go up.

Power went out right when I had something in the microwave and the oven. I went to check out the power and told the kids to hurry up and eat while it's somewhat warm. Then DD looks out the kitchen and yell's fire! The hillside behind my neighbor's house was on fire and heading our way. A tree had fallen on the lines--so glad that it was somewhat warm tonight and that the ground was wet or it could've been so much worse.

But what is irritating was that the power company, AEP, pays Asplundh, the tree service, to remove trees and they had all of these trees marked to trim. They worked for one week right after Christmas and removed just measly branches--nothing obviously that needed removed. Then, I saw the men sitting every day in their trucks on the turn for the entire month of January--never getting out of their trucks. Now, you could say it was cold, but, gee, the guys have been working in the same cold weather on my project. I saw this same outfit hiding in their trucks behind a school in the summer. And people wonder why we have to pay high prices for things.

Me and DD are the marshmallow roasting queens--I mean, it IS a food group in itself. I don't think the firemen thought it was funny when I told her to go grab a bag.

bonnie, you are braver than me.
i would not fly in one of those sardine cans.

in fact, twice i flew into ok city airport and rented a car to drive the 90 miles to lawton instead of taking one of those 6-8 seated hoppers there...

I've only had to fly in one of those once when I had to fly up North to do interviews for the company I was working for. Most of our flights from Edmonton to Minneapolis are in the CRJs like this one

Or you could travel on one of these, my son's normal mode of transport these days! And he just found out today that he'll get to jump out of them as well this summer!

wonder if they still yell Geronimo before taking that big 1st step

mj OMG, good thing it wasn't summer with dry grass

kid #2 down with the flu, guess we'll find out if tamiflu works or not

 

[Mad Hattered]

We're back............

Just sayin'

Look - the snow was ALMOST gone! We could see the grass! Lots of it!!

Of course that was before this current blizzard - expecting over a foot - it's been snowing most of the day and still going strong. Don't have any idea how much we've gotten though since it's been blowing so much. On the back porch, I can't even see the steps into the house any more, but in the front I can still see the sidewalk! Already called a snow day for tomorrow - if only that were true for work as well!

 

[macraven]

marcie, i feel bad for you with the new storm.

i feel even worse for me as we are to get it later tomorrow.

 

[keishashadow]

We're waaay overdue to get pummeled here, have been dodging all the big storms thus far, not that im complianing hee hee

Hey, I'm not in Canada! Do I need to post another huge GO PACK GO?!

Not too bad, but a lot of blowing made it kind of a mess around here. Think we're back to normal again. Hoping that's the last one of the season! Maybe?

To answer someone's question way back, I am working on a trip report and so far am nearly halfway done, but need to upload pics, etc. before I actually post it. I'll let you guys know as soon as I finally get to that point!

 

[minniejack]

I don't know what I was thinking--snow...i.e. Canada???

And hmmmmm NO to the question that I will not repeat in typing...bad luck

Yuppp....we had 70 degress and now 8" predicted for tonight by midnight.

I took DD up to Pittsburgh for some new tennis junk and it started spitting snow, so I said let's go wait it out in Starbucks...then I looked again and said we'd better go....looks like they'd have had to make us start handing out coffee if we had waited.
