Hubs get together for family and friends is Sunday and so is the snowstorm from Hell.
How are you holding up, Fran? Still thinking about you.

Exactly. And Corey is just a smartazz who needs his can kicked. He depresses me. Rick is the star of the show and they need to let him take it over. He has an infectious personality and the show would be so much better to let him interact with the people who come in his store. Everyone likes him and it's obvious he likes people. My favorite "expert" was Rebecca...the book girl. She was a sweetheart.I completely agree. That show jumped the shark a long time ago when they decided to focus more on Chum being a knucklehead than on Rick and the interesting stuff that comes in the store.
I just read an interesting novel by Michael Crighton on "global warming". He's an entertaining writer.
How would anyone really know if there really is global warming. The "scientists" have been caught so many times cooking the books, falsifying data and ignoring data that doesn't support their agenda, that I don't believe anything they tell me.
This world of ours has been going through periods of warming up and periods of cooling down for a long time. Nobody knows if there really is global warming (versus just going through another warming period), and if there is, whether mankind has played a role in it and, if so, how big a role.
Furthermore, nobody knows whether there's a damned thing we can do about it now, regardless of what caused it.

@LAwaters side note.. completely hooked on the French press coffee. I use your method to make it every time.
Chum bores me. His act ran its course long ago. But Corey, on the other hand, aggravates me. He has a serious attitude problem. He's an ingrate. Rick spent too much time at the store instead of slapping his son's mouth when he was growing up. It really interferes with the show and why I don't tune in near as much. My dad would have beat me silly if I ever talked to him the way Corey talks to his dad.The only “celebrity” I’ve seen since living here is Chum. At Whole Foods of all places. I no longer shop there so I won’t be seeing him again. He was being ordinary in the store. A little while later he was in the news for drugs and illegal weapons at his house. Also for opening a candy store with his cousin or brother. Limited hours and it might not even be around anymore.
I watched the show for Rick and the experts who came on. I liked Rebecca’s book info and Jesse the guitar guy’s info. The guy who reviewed signatures had cool gear and his info was interesting. His habit of looking above people’s heads while he talked to them got on my nerves a bit. My all-time favorite was Danny and his car & motorcycle info. Rick of “American Restoration” was interesting too.

The Michael Chrichton book title is "State of Fear". Highly recommended if only because he's a great storyteller, but still interesting re: global warming vs mini ice age...and his hatred - like ours - of paid research (JUNK) science vs. HARD science.What's the name of it?
Doing ok,Pappy. If I make it through Sunday I'll survive.How are you holding up, Fran? Still thinking about you.
You will, Fran. You stuck by him. He passed having you near. Grieve as much as you need. You're entitled.Doing ok,Pappy. If I make it through Sunday I'll survive.
You get more scrutinized than the foriegners flooding over our border.Evening... Snow, rain, snow mix all day. And a winter storm is predicted for Saturday. Well guess I'll get to the store tomorrow so I don't have to go out Saturday. I'm off tomorrow to get my fingerprints done for the
Hazmat threat assessment. Then I have to hope the Gov. shutdown doesn't keep the paperwork from being done before March 21st when my license expires. Had a memo at work about it. Said that for every week the Gov. is shutdown 1 1/2 week will be added to the already 3-4 week time frame. Not looking good at this point. But worrying about it won't change anything and there isn't anything I can do about anyway.
Time for a beer....

or put a couple of floodlights on your car rear - better yet, buy a torch you can operate remotely that has that red dot. That would be fun!yup ... it was one of those nites... a tow truck driver was tailgating me by about 2-3 feet doing 65mph... I was so tempted to pull the handbrake....
seriously.. hes supposed to be a professional ( well maybe semi pro) driver and pulling BS of that nature?? Think I need to get a rearview camera for stuff of this nature...
