    This. Exactly. It's wonderful entertainment watching all these hyperventilating, get-me-to-my-safe-space, where's my fainting couch snowflakes getting their panties all in a bunch. :facepalm:

    Good morning! Really, really windy here today. I'm carrying fishing weights in my pockets to keep from blowing away. And we are going to have to watch our truck drivers today. They are calling for gusts up to 65 mph.

    That just don't seem right. Good morning, all. It's been very cold for here - down into the 30's at night. I am actually needing an ice scraper in the morning when I leave for work. And my DC is very cold, since we have solar panels covering most of the roof. On the plus side, those panels sure...

    Now THAT math I would trust...if I could follow it! How's that global warming working out for y'all?

    Well, I never trust my math skills, but I think 4" is less than a foot, so we will call that a win! :party: Hopefully they used the same math on this one....

    Yeah, of all things, we get the Falcons (meh) and the Pats (GRR). Howling wind, downpour and intermittent walls of hail here. So much for "sunny" Southern California. I feel like Chicken Little. And I'm still considering starting construction on that ark.

    We are getting a downpour right now and it's supposed to continue this way the rest of the day. I was going to go to a hockey game, but decided I would stay home and dry. The dogs are their usual cabin-feverish selves - they always get twitchy when it rains. Charlie needed to go out, and ended...

    Good morning, all! At least it's still morning here. We have had rain, rain, and more rain. I'm thinking of buying a canoe for when we have to leave the house. We need the rain to cure our multiple-year drought. The problem in Southern California is that we are too dumb to build catchments to...

    I just love spending Saturdays grading assignments. It's my "welcome to the new term" party activity. :lol:

    I smell chicken and dumplings.... :facepalm: Happy Saturday morning, everybody! Three day weekend for me, too. Hockey was away in San Jose last night so we watched it on AHL Live. Tonight we're at home. Beer and arena food are on the menu for sure. I got a small quad copter for Christmas and...

    I like it best when I see it in the rear view mirror. :D

    FV, you roast your own beans?!? Where do you get raw coffee beans? Enquiring minds want to know.... Hi, everyone. Been raining cats and dogs here in "sunny" Southern California. We are supposed to get a lot of rain for the next 5 days. We will probably wash away, and everyone on wheels will...

    I never thought about raising Cain...come to think of it, I've never seen ducks do that, and chickens sure can. To be fair, I've never eaten ducks' eggs. I'm going to defer to you on this one! :) Edited to add: I'm sticking with the honey, garlic salt and smoke part, however! :lol:

    This is why I've never quite understood keeping ducks. Chickens are messy, but ducks...oh, my Lord. A duck rubbed with honey, sprinkled with garlic salt and on the pit is Heaven on Earth, but I can get a duck at the store, so....
