Yeah, I should have made the move when I had the chance. I was a lot younger then and wouldn't be so difficult as it is now. Just seems worse now that I am older too.
 

I know. It takes a lot of energy to cope with the cold and all that comes with it. I prefer to use my energy for more positive ends than just managing with the weather, and as I get older it becomes more important to me. I can no longer shovel snow and stuff like that with no consequence. I feel it now, and that effort could be spent doing better things than maintaining the status quo. That's just my view, though. Having lived where there was only the wet season and the dry season, I still want to see four distinct seasons. That reaffirms a cycle of life that I love to see. So I'm in the right place, anyway.
 
Just got back (well Thursday) from New Orleans. It is currently 30+F below normal here and normal aint exactly toasty anyway. I am really trying to find a job in the south.

Good morning, SMW. :2wave:

I just checked our current temperature. It's telling me it's "0,' as in zero. Now zero usually means none where I come from, so how am I to cope with none? Is that good or bad? Honestly, those weather people just want to keep us on edge all the time, don't they? Sheesh! :lamo:

Have fun today, stuck indoors for a while! And your cartoon was perfect to start the week! :thumbs!
 


Its getting to be that way for me as well. Although, here I really don't have much to do anymore. Other than maintain the place. Still, there are only a few places left that really isn't being affected by winter. Looks like southern Arizona and anything South of Austin Tx, Florida Keys and Hawaii.

The latter, I am just not found of that Big Blue Puddle that can wash everything away. Nice places to visit.....wouldn't want live there.

Since then its all been about the homestead. Plus I really am not into traveling much anymore. I did my Steve Miller time when younger and pretty much up until I was 30. Wasn't always a Jetliner either. But whatever way it was.....it was always about RockNme.

Last night it was minus 2 with a windchill of minus 21. Now its like 5 out and with a windchill of minus 10. Its going to be cold here for another week. Some more flurries and some snow for tomorrow night. Hopefully this will be the last Arctic Blast we get hit with for this winter.

So now that ya trapped inside SWM.

Morning, sweetie. Sleet is still coming down. Brrrr.

What color is your anger?

http://www.playbuzz.com/josephinema...ur-anger&utm_term=FB_lookalike_fb_shares_us_5

Got White the first time. Purple the 2nd... prob light purple... LOL

Purple is the color of your anger! You're popular, beautiful, a natural performer and down right irresistible! You're the center of attention and in a past life we're pretty sure that you were royalty. You're just regal, there's no other way to put it! Your anger is most frequently expressed when your ego has been bruised or your accomplishments go unrecognized. When you enter the club, you expect all eyes on YOU! If they're not, you're apt to be furious. At the end of the day, however, you anger is harmless and your natural grace always conquers even the coldest of hearts. You're a beautiful swan, never forget it

Just a few more days and we are out of February.....they changed our forecast to just flurries for tonight. Might be to cold for some heavy snow. Either way at least I wont have to head out to Indiana. I don't mind missing that Lake effect stuff they can't figure out.

Well that's good news. Did you get your electric bill? I did :shock:
 
Good grief! I'm starting to feel sorry for all you folks.

This morning is 50° but raining and probably won't get much above 60°.

When I was in the service I did a bunch of TDY's out of Bergstrom. We used a small base outside of Bastrop. That's one hell of a nice area!

-edit-

Come to think of it, that's where I was attacked by an armadillo. We were playing the aggressor force for a training exercise and I had us low crawling through a grass field when I felt something scurry across my hand. I'd never seen an armadillo before and from the look on his face he'd never seen me. There was a tense second or two there while each of us were trying to decide if the other was going to eat us.:lamo
