Good Thursday morning to everyone.  We have a current out-
door temp of 55 degrees, and the streets are wet, but it
currently is not raining out. 

Coffee, juice, hot chocolate and hot tea are ready this
morning.

Breakfast is on the warmer bar:  turkey bacon, sausage,
biscuits, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, your choice of
hash browns or tater tots. 

Seems like with all the wet weather we've been having, quite
a few people are suffering from pneumonia, colds, sinus
infections (and I'm one of them with a cold and sinus infect-
ion).  I had to go to the store yesterday and get some
cold/sinus medicine, and there was a lady at the bus stop,
who had just gotten out of the hospital the day before. 
She definitely did NOT need to be out in the cold rain that
was coming down at the time. 

Guess that's about all the news I have this morning.  Everyone
have a great day, and be careful out there!!

Hawaii?  I wish!

TWC was running a crawl last night warning that the storm that's coming up out of the Gulf may dump up to an inch and a half of rain on us, which would be OK any other time, but it's been raining for the past week and most of our streams are already almost banks full, not to mention that the ground is thoroughly soaked.

A neighboring FD had a house fire the other morning - poor guy just got out with what he was wearing, couldn't get to the phone or his truck keys, had to stand outside and watch his home burn until someone finally drove by (it was 4 am).  The local highway department brought a Gradall in to help overhaul the ruins.  The ground was so soggy that it immediately was buried up to the axles....

Snow is looking better all the time...

Okay, now that my stomach has settled down, I can now post
the special for today:

1.  Fried chicken
2.  Mashed taters w/milk gravy
3.  Veggie choices:  green beans, corn, lima beans, peas,
    garden salad

Hope everyone enjoys today's menu.  And if anyone wants
a couple of take out plates, we can manage that today.

Well, I was going to post the lunch menu, but after reading
the last few posts here, I'm having second thoughtsShock [:O]
Seems my appetite has mysteriously disappeared. 

Think I'll come back in an hour, and post the lunch menu.

Hmmm - an interesting article in the Daily Catzette:  Cats Say "I love You" to their owners when they bring their fresh-killed prey to the owner.  The cat wants them to have fresh food to eat.  And if the prey is only mortally wounded, it is really, really love, since they want the owner to have something to play with before dinner!

That is just so much nonsense!  A cat really loves you if they dial da pizza place and have it delivered!  You pay of course.  Kisses [:X]

And I don't even want to upset my breakfast by reading how dogs send e-mail.  Ack!

Sez cats go for the one person that doesn't like them because everyone that likes cats stares at them to get their attention and they hate that.  So the one person that is polite enough not to stare (the cat disliker) is the one to head for (and be sure to leave lots of fur with them so they will get to like you eventually!)

We have 33 degrees here in Sioux Falls, the wind is blowing out of the north at 21 mph and gusting to 31 mph. There is a threat of snow showers here up until about 2:00 this afternoon. We had a little bit of rain earlier this morning and our temperature is supposed to max out at 38 degrees this afternoon.

I'm keeping a close watch on the weather in my area for the next six weeks or so. I will be working for our local chapter of the Salvation Army as a bell ringer this Christmas season, and I know from past experience to bundle up and dress in several layers. This is a paid position and it will generate some badly needed income for me. I start work this Friday morning and will be asigned to our local Hobby Lobby store.

I will probably stop in at the Diner every morning and fill my thermous bottle with either coffee or hot chocolate before I head for work.

Good Wednesday morning to all.  Currently, we in Louisville
are receiving very light rain, with a temp of 46, or 48 de-
grees outside.  We're supposed to be getting some heavier
rain later around mid morning, possibly thunderstorms. So,
how is the weather where you are this morning?

Coffee is on, juice is freshly squeezed, and we also have
hot tea and hot chocolate available this morning.

Breakfast will be:  country fried ham, redeye gravy, scrambled
eggs, oatmeal, toast (buttered and toasted in the broiler, not
a toaster), homemade biscuits w/sausage gravy, sausage (links
and patties), pancakes and waffles w/syrup or jams, jellies,
or preserves to go on the pancakes/waffles.

Good evening!

Much to my dismay, it looks like there is a little too much dry air for much significant rain or snow around Omaha tonight with areas more towards Grand Island getting the snow. I guess our turn will come. Sigh [sigh]

I'm always trying to figure out why there will be a day with no homework followed by a day with tons of homework. Yesterday there was absolutely no homework. Tonight I have World History, Chemistry, Theology, Spanish and English. I guess that means I better get out of here and get busy working on it!

Sounds good to me, too...

We had a Siamese who decided to become an alarm clock.  The only problem was that she "went off" a little earlier every morning, until she finally got "thrown across the room" (almost literally) and decided maybe it wasn't the best gig.

My pup often decides that mid-afternoon on days off and weekends is nap time.  I often indulge her...

Ray, thanks for getting breakfast this morning!  I was back in the storeroom, checking
inventory, so that's why you didn't see me anywhere!  Gonna have to sneak in even
earlier, to do things like that, so no one thinks I'm MIA.Laugh [(-D]  I was checking to see
what I need  in groceries for Thanksgiving Dinner around here.

Seriously, it's kind of nice to have someone in here cooking for me on Tuesdays, since
I'm so busy with the Tuesday Produce people coming to sign in. 

Everyone have a great day, and stay warm, since it's cold outside.  Our skies cleared
last night, and we've got frost on the vehicles this morning.  Temps are right around
the freezing mark in our outlying areas this morning. 

Mookie, Joe, or anyone, do you have any requests for lunch/supper today?

Good morning everyone. It appears that I am the first one in the Diner this morning, so I've got the coffee brewing, I've put the hot chocolate out and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice. And I'll take charge of serving breakfast this morning as well.

On the menu for this morning; oatmeal, freshly baked cinnamon rolls with lots of butter,  belgian waffles topped with your favorite fruits, blue berry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage.Chef [C=:-)]
