The 'Hall Of Lame' v 2.0

 

When we had TS's Irene and Lee, our power didn't go out.  We turned the power off ourselves before we were evacuated just in case.  Our power goes out when we are having no weather events. 

 

Max's high school friend, Patty, is a lineswoman with National Greed.  Next time we have lunch, I'll have to ask her what the hell their problem is..

'Thunder Snow', eh? Haven't seen it for a few years. I find it an impressive and tad scary event; the last time I saw it, I was walking back to the Den from the store after dark when it hit - a purple & yellow sky, almost lake-effect blowing snow, and the sight and sound effects. 

We have been socked in a few times only to have the weather warm up and create muddy messes for weeks, now. Currently, it has been snowing for three days straight - people are 'car-bowling' all over the place. Usually we plan our trips out of the woods and off the island at times like this, but as of recent, we've both had lots of reason to move around, so things have been pretty nerve-racking. For once, we're looking forward to Spring. 

No fender on bike.

Temp at about 40, so all the melted water was ice cold and flying up on my backside when I hit large pools of it.

My butt probably now has the flu...

They are middle-aged; the male is a well-behaved, friendly black & white husky with sky-blue eyes. Nice dog. Quiet (Huskies generally howl, rarely bark). The female? This one drives me nuts - can't stand it. A collie-shepherd mix, black and white, with attitude issues and a severe anxiety disorder; anyone OTHER than the owners that get near it? This insecure mixed-breed interracial psychopath female dog goes postal but will not attack; actually will try and bury itself under anything so as to hide, but will not shaddup - CONSTANTLY barks and cries until anything unfamiliar leaves. This includes squirrels, frogs, fish that jump in the river, and so forth (which is one huge reason why we let them walk them in 'the wildreness' (at their own risk). They absolutely love the dog, we hope the 'calming effect' of the woods will help her 're-balance'. I've never asked them, but I suspect she must be a 'rescue dog', as my neighbor's wife seems to be a pretty 'balanced' individual.

Well...just moments ago, I could tell they were around...something scared the heck out of the female (as always) - all hell broke loose down the trail...must have had a bunny hop across the path. Every time this dog goes nuts and I am anywhere near, it really gnaws at me, If I know that husky, his 'wife' will NEVER have pups. Wimmins!

 

 

  

 

Same here.  Last week---upper 50s, rain, rain, rain.  Yesterday, 94 degrees and perfectly clear.
