Ahhhh.... Peace and Quiet.....
TV is turned off.

I have a roaring fire going in the fireplace.

I have my trusty laptop and also a book to keep me company.

Dinner is in the ovewn.

No Lou Dobbs
No Tweety
No Wolf Blitzer
No CBS evening news.
No ABC evening news.

blistful NOTHING!

After going ballistic at a meeting last night, this is almost heaven..(actually it's just Wisconsin but, close enough) :)

Enjoy your evening.

15. I think FL is pretty nice
right about now...30's at night, 60's during the day.

But August? Forget about it. Hell on earth.

5. St Bernards carried brandy
for a reason you know.....I think it had to do with shoveling snow....

we didn't get anything out of that storm that Chicago and Madison got....nothing ... nada....

too bad too because I just had electric start put on my snowblower....takes me about a half an hour to do my sidewalk, my good neighbor's sidewalk and my 45 x100 driveway....rough life eh? :evilgrin:

11. Ya -- and here I'm thinking of buying a new snow shovel tomorrow
The handle is loose on the one I have, and it's all beat up.

I had to bust up the huge deposit of plow-delivered ice at the end of my driveway last month with a 4 foot length of iron rebar. I'll tell ya -- there's no 'full body workout' quite like hammering away at a glacier with an iron bar for an hour. No siree, Bob!


Hmm...still looks kind of cold out there...:beer:

14. Groon.....I hear you
one of those last snowstorms put out a heavy wet snow that clogged up the blower...had to shovel it by hand....heavy, heavy nasty stuff...finished just in time for the snow plow to come by and fill the bottom of the driveway in again....

he waved as he went by and I waved back, but not with ALL my fingers.
