Mookie can't be Veep - she can't keep quiet long enough! Besides, we can't have a Veep that laughs out loud at Congress when they are trying to look important and like they know what they are doing!

Besides, they wouldnt understand a word you said.
They get all freaked out when someone speaks clearly, consisely, and truthfully.
And every one of them I have had any business with seem to lack the humble gene!

Oh yes he can, you know my little byline at the close of my post that says, "Ed for President". I saw yesterday someone else has picked this up and is putting it on his posts too. Another vote for Ed. The momentum is gaining. Talk about a grass roots campaign, this is it. (However, our grass is brown and dying from lack of rain and the heat.) [:)] [8D] [:D] [;)] [^]

I just read an article on AOL (yes, I really can read--Is gots me a 3rd gade edgycation). The article was on the new Farmers Almanac due out now. The "Almanac Forecast a Rough Winter", cold with plenty of snow. In the east, from February to early spring cold weather and snow, one storm after another. The same for the west--cold and snowy. The Southeast get lucky with a mild forecast. They claim their accuracy is 80 %. Oh well, we shall see.

Everyone remember, I asked for cooler not colder. Blame it on the polE bear. lol [;)]

The AOL article didn't mention it but I am very sure that the Almanac will have some weather for you. [8D] As a matter of fact I will buy one and list it for you. [:)]

Give the weather 2 weeks and you won't see 95 + days anymore this year. (Hope I don't have to eat crow. Never developed a taste for it." [:D]

Currently 95, with a heat index of 109.
Sure glad i have a afternoon job, because the sun goes down after a few hours, so we work half our shift in the cooler evening early night.
Had one of our switchmen get splashed with hydrogen peroxide from a tankcar that had been overfilled.
No, not the 3% soultion you buy at the drug store, the 100% solution shipped by rail, its a strong acid.
He did exactly what we are taught to do, he stripped down and ran to the emergency shower, and hit the lever.
Only problem was, the pipe that fed the shower is above ground, and the water was about 100 degrees or hotter.
Imagine a total body sunburn, thats what he ended up looking like.
Acid burn topped off by a good scalding bath.
Dont think he is going to get a good tan out of this.

Get the feeling some changes will take place? Hope he is ok - you are sure having your problems down there lately. From Syrup to peas to leaving things lying around on the tracks! Sounds like I should come down there and straighten things out - boy would I love to do just that. Just as soon as I get Hobson Yard all straight!
