Good morning everyone. I can't wait for the Supreme topping pizza tonight.
I believe that the fire at the trestle in Sacramento is finally out. From what I've read in the Sacramento Bee, I believe that the cleanup could take longer than usual due to the remains of the trestle and the soil being full of creosote, which means special handling (it will have to be shipped to a special landfill designed to handle hazardous materials).
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
CW, glad you are back up online.
I've been doing taxes and applying for various colleges. Been busy. A few pages back there was a discussion about lost cats. Several years ago, when my children were little, (okay..make that several several years ago,) I awoke to someone pounding on my front door. I opened it slowly just to have my cat shoved upon me. Apparently, my neighbor, who hated cats, opened his trunk and out popped our cat. Fortunately, he didn't look worse for his adventure, but my neighbor looked like a madman. He was furious. At least the cat had the deceny to wait until he got home to use the litter box.
I, too, enjoyed the Irish song and the Irish blessing. But I am not Irish, not even Scotch/Irish, but there be Scot in my blood, and French and German.

Good Saturday morning to one and all! Ironhorseman, welcome to the DD/CS! Love the words to "When Irish Eyes are Smiling!" Of course, since I'm part Irish, I would love that song!!
Dan, thanks for getting breakfast ready, making the coffee, juice, etc. I brought in some cookies, decorated for St. Patty's Day. Regular sugar cookies, w/white icing, and green sprinkles all over them. Don't anyone worry: made sure I brought in enough, so there'll be enough for dessert tonight, after our SATURDAY PIZZA FEST.
Everyone have a good day today, and I hope the sick and ones in hospital are feeling a wee bit better this morning!
THEY CLOSED THE OLD DINER AND DEPOT COFFEE SHOP ETC.?!?!?!?! *sigh* I hate change but I do it all the time, auld lang syne.
They should turn it into a museum, place it on the list of national register of historic places, put up a plaque, have a festival and parade in it's honor, shoot off fireworks on it's anniversary, sing songs about it, make a movie about it, write a book about it so it ends up on the New York Times Best Seller List, sell tickets and run steam train rides from there, let it throw out the first ball in the World Series, and name a drink after it.
Happy St. Pattys Day to ye darlin', now me thinks I'll head to the Irish Pub in celebration. Put a nickle in the jukebox and play "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"
When Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.In the lilt of Irish laughterYou can hear the angels sing.When Irish hearts are happy,All the world seems bright and gay.And when Irish eyes are smiling,Sure, they steal your heart away.

Morning all! I've got breakfast ready on the warmer bar! Eggs, bacon, sausages, corned beef hash, hashbrowns, American fries, and toast. I also have some fresh fruit cut up and ready to go along with the usual smattering of juices. For those interested in lighter fare I've got some cereal and milk and beagles and cream cheese. Dig in and enjoy this great day! Don't forget to wear green! Happy St. Patricks Day!

Don't you just LOVE broadband? It makes surfing the Internet a total pleasure to do. I'm so glad I got EarthLink ADSL just about two years ago to so I could download things a lot faster. In fact, I love it because now I can download podcasts to my new iPod nano 4 GB to listen to.
By the way, the trestle is still burning as I type this. It's going to be a couple of months before things get back to normal on the line.
Mmm fish. With extra fries too with mine
Nothing like spending the rest of the evening online playing Aces High (Aces up is what they call it) I have gotta addicted to that game it's even funny.
To Joe, and everyone else that had family problems, my thoughts are with you as well.
Happy early St Patrick's Day. If things work out well, maybe John can make soda bread this year.
Congrats!!! On the High Speed Connection, you'll Never want to go back to Dial-Up!!!
Besides being able to talk on the phone, (if same line) it really is much better.
(excuse me; if the Modem doesn't go bad; then you'll wish you had the other back!)
(it was Way Too Much Trouble to reconfigure ours.)
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!!
Well, folks, it's the beginning of supper time on the east coast, and late lunch on the west coast, but. . .I've got the next round of our FRIDAY FISH FRY under way. There's plenty of cod, haddock, hallibut and perch, along with all the side dishes and desserts, so everyone help yourselves. The fish, fries, corn on the cob and hushpuppies are on the warmer bar; and the cold dishes are in the cooler, by the counter. Chocolate cake is on the counter, also, and the pies are in the pie cooler.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. An Irish Blessing

Congratulations! Have a piece of pie.
Joe, Willy, DF & anyone else that needs anything, as CW has already said, our
Thoughts and Prayers are out there for you.
Just found out that a young man from the CTT Forum needs Special Thoughts
and Prayers from us also.
Colin (tmccman) his grandfather is/has been battling prostrate cancer,
and he just found out that his grandmother apparently suffered a stroke.
I believe we need to remember him and family as well as the rest of our family here.

As much as I'd like to buzz up there, I probably better not- the wife is working OT tomorrow and won't like being left there while I'm three hours away. I attended one up there a couple of years ago, though, it was a really good show.

Good morning, everyone. It is a beautiful, sunny day.
Joe, our condolences and prayers are with you and your family.
My father-in-law is also in the hospital right now. He had emergency surgery yesterday, which the doctors were reluctant to do as he is in such poor health and hasn't been able to eat for several days. He is in ICU.
Joe - my prayers are with you and your family. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
My grandma is having a little trouble herself. Last night she was taken to the emergency room because her knee gave out. My mom told me this morning that she thinks my grandma will have to be admitted and probably have a knee replacement.
We could get a little bit of snow late tonight and tomorrow morning, but by Sunday we'll be back into the 60s. Next week, there could be the first severe storms of the year, so I have a lot to look forward to.
