Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
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.

I think the coffee urn is around 55 gallons or so... Plenty to go around.

Joe - Will you set my mug next to the closet door? Going to vacation for a day!
Brian - wondered where you were. Out walking, eh?
Tree - there is sunami warning out there - do you need to do anything to prepare for it? I hear it may hit Hawaii.......need someone to push the luggage around for you?

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. 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!)

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...
CHICKEN!!!! All Right!!!!! Yessssss!
Guess Tree isn't taking me to Hawaii. Drat.
will take some fried chicken and mashed potatoes.sounds great.mookie a day off is better than a day of work anytime hope you find some trains.the rain has started here and our ground is soggy like larrys backyard too.have to go get the matt off the school bus.

Thanks, but I got rid of them. I'm guessing they are warming some owl's gut by now...
Middle of fly-over country - 30 degrees, 75% humidity, little wind, dry - ah spring!
CW - would you make me a Denver omelet - well done. Makes me feel a little closer to the missing chicken.....
And no Mutt/Joe/Brian/Tree - not "Zap, you are a Denver Omelet!"

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
And a good Thursday morning to Cherokee Woman, Locomutt and everyone else out there. 55 degrees in Louisville? Gee, I wish it was that warm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I threw an extra wool blanket on my bed last night and the temperature had gotten down to 17 degrees last night, and that is where it is right now. It is supposed warm up to about 41 by about 3:00 this afternoon.
My Mom always used to say that there is a lot of bacteria that gets passed around when it is warm out when normally we should be experiencing cold weather. And I think she was right. It is no fun having to deal with a sinus infection, and CW, I hope you are able to get rid of yours quickly!
Well, tomorrow I start working for the Salvation Army as a Christmas season bell ringer. It's only a temporary job but at least it will provide me with a source of badly needed income for roughly six weeks. Later this morning I will start putting together all my warm-weather gear.
That's funny, Mutt! I used to be a member of our local Y Men's Service Club and this organization is a fund raising arm of the YMCA. We used to sell Christmas trees as a method or raising money for the YMCA. I will have to share this story with a few of my friends in that club.
