I prefer shorts nearly all year long.
Enjoy!Hi Army
Survived the train but didn't sleep much. Slept so, so last night but my hips are sincerely happy with having an actual bed.
We are just chilling at the hotel for the rest of the day (aka hubby is snoozing through the football games) since the rest of the week plans on being quite busy.
Windy here also. At least the daytime temps are in the 50's....for now.

Seems they intentionally shorten the duration due to the fact that most drivers are accustomed to a 5-7 second yellow... if you were to go down the block to the next intersection, the yellow duration is 6 seconds....
Don't remember, really. And NO sounds corrupt to me too.Bronze... was it you that had posted that wind vector thingy about a year or so ago?? ( the wind map) wonder how it looks now
Do what Americans always do. Sue the toy maker!
Well it sure was hectic a little while ago. I got the dogs a little cheap stuffed animal from the pet store. They have been bored of what few toys they have. So I got them a little raccoon looking toy. They were really excited about it. I thought now I might be able to cut some trips out the door, because they are BORED. So they were playing with it, and having a lot of fun. All of a sudden I hear Bella make a quick loud yelp. I thought that Cassie must've gotten rough with her. I look around to see what was going on. Bella has the toy stuck to her foot, and Cassie was pulling it. I wondered how in the world Bella got in this predicament. I tried to detach it with Cassie still loose. She was still trying to grab the toy. I had to lock her in the crate, so I could look at what was going on.
Somehow Bella's toenail got stuck in a loop of material. There are no LOOPS in the toy, which made it strange. I thought one of the dogs made a hole in it from sharp teeth, most likely Cassie. No, there wasn't a hole in the toy. I couldn't get the nail out of the loop. Somehow Bella had a crack in her toenail, and the loop went over it, to the base of the nail. You couldn't just slip it off. The loop was made from snagging, and pulling material up. Very weird! I finally had to get the flashlight to see why it wasn't slipping off. A portion of her nail was broken, and it snagged from a sharp piece from what remained of the nail. I'm lucky she didn't rip the toenail, or have blood everywhere. She was happy I got it off, as you can imagine. I trimmed her front nails, and then used a buffing stick to hopefully avoid that issue in the future. In my entire life I've never seen a situation like this. So much for a little peace and quiet. My nerves were shot, I'll tell you that.
This is the exact toy.

the city of N.O. is as corrupt as they come... I had gotten a red lite ticket back in Oct... sent the check about a week after I got the notice ( well within the due date about 2.5 weeks before due date) yesterday I get a delinquent payment notice from them ( which added on an additional 50$ for late fees etc)... I checked the statement and it showed that the city cashed the check 2 days after the late date ( this is now 3 weeks after it got put into the mail)... so either the post office is terribly slow in getting things moved about 15 miles ( 3 weeks) or the City held the check for about 1/2 a week to allow the time lapse to occur and tack on the additional fees... other drivers who have been "caught" have also mentioned this same " occurance"... and the strange thing about all of this is that the normal time duration for the yellow light period for an intersection of its size is anywhere from 5.5 - 7 seconds... the Red lite camera intersections are set for 4 seconds... interesting huh????
and I got "busted" for running a Red lite at .3 seconds... ( .3 seconds into the red) yup .3 seconds thats as fast as a blink of an eye, as fast as something can fall in 8" ( the bar trick when trying to grab a dollar bill as it falls)... and they know as when one approaches an intersection as the light is yellow or just turned yellow the driver will slow down and be looking to the left for oncoming traffic instead of staring at the red lite... which increases your chance of being caught...
and I thought my nite had come to an end.... but nooo.. just got finished making another run.... 90 miles and 2.5 more hrs added to the day... so I have now... 840 miles and 18 hrs
