I've heard on our news about Houston getting snow, just haven't heard how much they have gotten today. Maybe Ed is out taking more pictures like he did last time, only with a jacket and hat on his head, this time!
Soup pots are on the warmer bar, 1 is vegetable beef and the other is chicken noodle, and the sandwiches are roast, turkey, BLT and PB&J.
Am feeling a little bit better tonight. Did have a couple of episodes this morning of upchucking, but that is over and done with now.
Everyone have a good evening, stay warm, and take care.
Where is Blysard??? Still digging out?? I heard on the news that Houston got heavy snows. He could come to Wisconsin. We on the south side of the state have just a dusting of snow in spots, but sunny and a little cool.

Well the nap had to wait.our little digital picture camera hates cold but the movie camera works fine.I saw the Cp holiday rail train come down the wabash at blakeslee ohio then he had to wait at Butler indiana to turn and head west for carl and Chicago.Matt was very surprised when he got home.Cw soup and more soup and sandwhiches will work for supper.
I'm pretty sure we have some in the forecast, but the businesses around here that benefit from snow are getting a little antsy due to the lack of enduring quantities of same.
If it does, it does...

Mookie Willy2 Good Friday Morning! 11 degrees and sunny this morning here in Omaha. I must track down a certain Mr. Blysard and ask him how he likes the idea of getting 2 to 4 inches of snow today in Houston, TX. I just got a note from our southern snowshoe - said snow has started but wasn't sticking quite yet. Told him we had a flurry shower yesterday and I took 4 for us and sent the rest to him. Glad they made it ok. Tried to change the birdy water this morning and it froze mid-air. Pretty tough out there today. Heard you had a little excitement on CU campus last nite. And it wasn't even the CU students! Hmm - might want to think about not letting in the riff-raff from local high schools.....

Yes, I hope Creighton never lets OPS use their facilities again. That was absolutely outrageous. They come and use our brand new sports arena and then shoot the place the up. Riff-raff is putting it lightly.

I noted that too, of the possible snow in Houston's Ed's area today....Weather is topsy-turvy.....We've not even seen any snowflakes here yet....{this season}. 25 was our temp at about 7:30 this morning, which is the coldest for the season so far.
Nice sunshine here for the most part this morning. But it will be on the cool side for several days and continued sunshine or partly sunny.....Not bad, so far, for this time of the season.

More Polar Express trains tomorrow and Sunday.
Haven't talked to Mom since she fell. In fact, if my sister hadn't called to discuss moving her into someplace with more supervision, I probably wouldn't have heard about it at all until one of our Sunday calls. I suspect she's home, but sore and on very light duty.
Gotta muddle through the day here, then get ready for the weekend. Decorations for the outside of the house are on my list, too...
The usual, in the corner.
Good Morning
Cw thanks for breakfast.matt is on time and off to school.Its friday!!!

Keep warm.
Good Friday morning, everyone. I'm feeling a little bit better this morning. Just took my meds about 25 minutes ago, so I'm not feeling much pain right now. Just a little bit dizzy. Not too bad. Slept pretty good last night. Imagine I'll be conking out in a little bit, and sleeping for about two hours.
I made the coffee, and it's ready. There's also some orange juice, milk and hot water for tea, and hot cider. There's also some bagels, bear claws, and I had some doughnuts delivered, fresh from the doughnut shop.
Larry, how's your Mom doing? I hope she's doing a little bit better this moring.
You all have a very good morning, and take care.
Afternoon all,
Good day at school today. Nice and cold now with a slight northerly breeze that makes it feel even colder. Looks like it will get worse too.
Have a safe evening.

Larry yes that picture says it all.Thanks for the turkey noodle soup for supper.Highs this weekend are only in the 30's!!!!.Matt came home with an A on his social studies test.Now its time to go over his spelling list for Friday.
Joe
Larry, great picture!
Just got home a little while ago from the doctor. He didn't say what he thinks the problem is with my back. Gave me two prescriptions, 1 for Darvacet, and 1 for a muscle relaxer. Walt is getting ready to go to the Pharmacy and get them filled for me. I'm getting ready to go crawl into the bed and nap.
Ryan, good to see you in here. Hope you get a chance to come in and see us more often. (Until my back is better, we may need you in here, to help with the cooking and baking.
Everyone take care, stay warm and I'll try to be back in later on this evening.
Howdy!
I'll have some Turkey Soup for lunch today!
Hope all is well with the flat wheel folks, new, old, regular, irregular like myself!
Have a great day folks!

Overcast, and 39 degrees and dry this morning. No sign of any snow flurries that were mentioned for us {possibly}, overnight early on. And the morning paper shows no snow action thru next Monday for us. And I'm all for that.
Paula, I'm aware when a person has back problems, that certainly is an impediment to doing much of anything.....That problem effects almost anything one tries to do. So sure hope you get relief soon.
Guaranteed to warm your heart - no caption necessary:
CW, Larry is right, don't put too much stress on your lower back. Do whatever your doctor advises and give it time to heal.
We have roughly a quarter of an inch of snow here on the ground in Sioux Falls, and with the wind blowing out of the northwest, the windchill factor here is about 4 degrees above 0. I'm not looking forward to walking to work later this morning, but I gotta work in order to make ends meet, like anyone else! At the present moment our temp here is 17 degrees.
Not sure what the temperature is, although it's supposed to stay above freezing this morning, which is a good thing - the 1.10" of rain recorded on my guage at the house since around 8 last night would translate to almost a foot of snow.
Instead we've got a whole new collection of "lakes" all over the place, and a few flooded basements.
CW - patience is probably your best treatment - stress that back too quickly and you'll never get back to normal.
Got word my mother fell and injured her back. At 83, it's probably about time we talked her into moving out of her apartment and into someplace with some level of supervision. I know she'll hate the decision, though.
Hot water's ready, and I see a bearclaw with my name on it (creative baker!).
Cw hope you get better soon.we didn't get any snow but plenty of rain last night.Time to get a nap.More chores this afternoon.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. Jesse! Long time no hear from: welcome back. We need some of you who have been MIA to come back in.
Thank you to those who expressed concern regarding my back problems. People who know me, know that I don't normally complain about any back pain (or any pain, really), so when I say something, you can bet I'm hurting.
We have 41 degrees this morning, and our high today will be about 42. So not much change in temps today, with cloudy skies.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are ready to go, and on the breakfast/warmer bar this morning: bagels and bear claws. When I'm feeling a little better and moving better, I'll get back to fixing a good hot breakfast for you all.
Dr. appointment is at 11:45, and I'll leave the house a little before 11 to walk over there. So I probably won't see you all until late afternoon. Everyone have a good day, and take care.
hello!! how is everybody its been a long time since ive been by
hope every things been allright
Until we moved here, I lived in a box in various small towns (and at college), except for one summer that I spent on a rural route, and one summer that I spent in Columbus, Ga. About half-way through my first year in college, began using "t/y," with the college name, city, and state as my return address. On one occasion, a letter that I had sent was returned undelivered, and the assistant treasurer, who put the mail up, knew which box it went to.
It seems that now every country road has a name (often that of someone who had lived on it), complete with house numbers.
I have read that, back in the thirties, a letter was sent to:
Wood
John
Mass
--and it was delivered! The envelope bore the man's full name, his city, and his state.
Johnny
Raining here now (much to the Dal's chagrin - no walk tonight), and it looks like it's gonna keep it up for a while. Rain guage is already showing .14" and it only started in earnest an hour or two ago.
I had a teacher in fourth grade who told us that she once got a letter delivered to her that simply had for an address "Jaques," her nickname. Through some luck collection of circumstances, all the right people handled the letter - people who knew her and her nickname.
I've got no reason to doubt her story - when she told the class about it she was as incredulous as any of us.
When we first moved into this house, we could call other numbers in our exchange simply by dialing the last four digits.
Our mail now goes to Syracuse, some 70 miles for all processing, so the 'city' thing wouldn't get you far. I'm pretty sure it would have worked here not so many years ago, though.
The Dal's telling me it's time for bed, and I agree.
JoeKoh Well we used to be able to put RT 6 on a card and it would get to my sisters house.Now the post offfice wants a full address.I can't argue with the speed that the letters get through.Mookie has a package coming from Michigan soon.Got to do some chores.Cw thanks for supper tonight. stay safe joe

Ah yes...the kinder gentler age when all you needed was "Rural Route #1" or the like.
I liked it when for local mail you put the street address, and then just wrote "City"...and it was delivered!
Ray, I only watch Trinity Broadcasting on the TV, and most of that is on the computer. The Addams Family is also on the computer. I think I like Jackie Googan as Uncle Fester as my favorite actor in the series. Speaking of him, it is hard to accept that he was once married to Betty Grable, the most sought after pinup girl of WWII. Rainng hard at present, and the girls won't go out. Gotta watch them close.

Tom, I can remember when the Adams Family series was being aired during my youth, and it always generated a good deal of laughter with members of my family, especially my Dad. I very rarely watch television any more as I don't subscribe to cable service, and in my opinion, there is hardly anything worth watching anymore.
CW, I hope your doctor is able to do something for your back, I know how miserable you must be feeling because I've been there a time or two. I believe in chiropractic medicine, and if it were possible to send you to my chiropactor, I would do that.
The temp here has gotten down to 23 degrees and the wind chill makes it seem colder than that. I had gone to my neighborhood grocery store for a few things and we were getting snow flurries when I came home. It probably will not amount to much though.
mudchicken // massive giggles and guffaws from down the hall in the Freshman Lab at Weatherliar U. OK - The promised 50 Degrees and sunshine turned into 20 Degrees, 3" snow and ice. The ditch-hunters from Tree's neck of the woods are here on their baloneyskin tires doing their best kamikaze imitations. Now gonna be in the single digits tonight. Three scotties last seen near the fireplace with BossHen.

CW - I hope your back gets better soon! Hopefully there is nothing too serious going on.
Tom - Not only is it a tornado watch, it's a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch. Stay safe tonight.
It was indeed cold here today, but what do you expect during December in Omaha? It will be even colder tomorrow with highs only in the upper 20s. There could also be some light snow on Sunday. Now if we could just get a big snowstorm for once.
