I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, or whether I really wanted to grow up. So I’ve just focused on my life’s goal to be a millionaire by the time I’m 30.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Paul of CovingtonFunny, but all my life I've had the feeling in the back of my mind that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm now 77 and I still feel that way.
I always felt that way, too, Paul. I am 3 years behind you and I am still in a quandry. But will keep trying to decide.

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").
More snowmelt today.More rain in the forecast too.Don't have to get the boat out yet.Ns sent an eastbound stack train when I left work.Chores to do.
CSSH:
Thanks - just a little weird, in spite of all the digging, that nobody even seemed to notice where they were really supposed to. I know some of the surviving bridges up in there are corroded to death (as in you can see through rusted out flanges and webs), but the Lake County records are awful on how that area became a linear park.The Pennsy branch was explained there (died 1965), but not the IHB.
tree68The usual problem around here isn't the buffer between vehicles - it's forgetting that the coefficient of friction has changed. Outside the city the majority of the incidents are single vehicles off the road.
To steal Ron White's answer, this time to, "What's the coefficient of friction?"
"There isn't one."
+18 at 6:45 this morning,with plenty of snow on the ground (I have not yet heard how much fell overall). The sun is shining brightly now at 9:12.
mudchicken For Carl/Ed/Hegeswich and the others in the Chicago area, an IHB question: Any idea when the IHB Whiting Branch was removed from service and abandoned from Burnham/129th Street up to Whiting/Indianapolis Avenue? (Big Giggle: The Indiana DOT and the STB identify the thing as abandoned, owner and date unknown) I'm guessing after some major brain damage that its after1983, but no date to confirm. Part of it is now Lake George Trail along Wolf Lake...

BaltACDThe one thing that enables safe driving in snow and ice is space. Space between you and the other cars - space between the other cars.

tree68 Deggesty According to the evening news, many people had either their ditch finders or othercar finders on today--after the first heavy snow of the winter. We're in for a thaw, which could be a bad thing for drivers when we do get another round of winter weather. It's like in the week there wasn't any snow they completely forgot how to drive in the stuff. Fire in an empty warehouse near here tonight. Two firefighters injured when a wall collapsed. The injuries are not life threatening, fortunately.

In today's urban and suburban areas and on the Interstates - the one thing we don't have is space. Without space there isn't room to recover from a minor mistake before hitting someone or something. I don't think drivers are that much worse than they have ever been - there just isn't the room for them to recover from a mistake.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Yup, the pines here are kinda getting frisky...

Here, too. Temps have been in the low 80's. Everything's starting to turn yellow with pine pollen.
Plenty of rain here in Nw Ohio.The ditches are getting full.Ns had a westbound in the siding when I left work.My Dad should go to the window and collect.Just got word that his 21st great grandchild is due in May.(Matt is grandchild 17) Chores to do.
When I rose yesterday, the temperature was in the upper forties, with snow promised to begin about noon. I did not pay any attention to the weather until I went down for supper about 4:30, and saw it had begun to snow.
When I got up this morning, the temperaure was about 28--and it was snowing. It has stopped snowing now, the sun is shinign brightly, and the roof below my window is covered with snow--and the temperature is 27.
Happy to see moisture in any form. Red flag warnings are getting old along with the burned grass ashes floating through the air.
We're getting a steady rain, with a current temperatire of 45, supposed to climb pretty much from here on until sometime tomorrow (close to 60 for the high). We have plenty of snow to lose, but the drains and gutters are ready for it.Tax day today (I think we're ready).
mudchickenSeventy degrees here yesterday, snowing this morning.
Too much snow left here for seventy - like to keep the snowmelt down to a reasonable rate.
But it is going to rain, which may be just as bad.
Happy Presidents Day, including to the guy on Rushmore that wasn't a surveyor.
Seventy degrees here yesterday, snowing this morning.
A bit chilly as the wind was blowing from the Northwest.Ns had cars in the siding and the local was uptown.Took a half day and mamma and I went out to Lunch.Ran errands in Defiance and saw 3 trains on CSX.Chores to do here.Tomorrow will go check up on brother.
