wasted arctic shot

surprise snow flurries
2008-02-09 16:21:00 Cool.. snow flurries out side now. This is a nice surprise but not really anything to get excited over but it’s something. It would be too warm for any real snow today anyways. Tomorrow we get a quick shot of arctic air but it will be pretty much wasted cold again. I love snow but ... More About: Snow
turn off your lights
2008-02-08 17:54:00 I wonder how much energy could be saved everyone would turn off lights at night. It’s interesting to see how many outside lights are left on all night. It just seems very wasteful to me. One neighbor has a light bright enough to light up our back yard and they live something like three houses ... More About: General , Lights , Turn
What season is it anyways?
2008-02-07 15:10:00 We had two thunderstorms yesterday. One in the afternoon which was racing across the area. That one only gave us a little rain and a couple cracks of thunder.

Mississippi wants to ban fat people from restaurants
2008-02-05 19:55:00 A bill was introduced in Missi ssippi to ban obese people from restaurants. I can’t imagine this would pass. It seems too much like discrimination to me. Some people are overweight due to health problems they can’t control and it just seems unfair to not let them enjoy dining out. I don’t feel the state has ... More About: People , Restaurants
I want to see again
2008-01-24 21:06:00 Today I’ve been thinking that I might be willing to give a cornea transplant another shot if the opportunity ever comes up. I have had a couple and both rejected.

Nice cold shot

Snow Surprise
2008-01-17 20:23:00 I looked at the radar than looked out the window and got a nice surpise. It’s snowing moderately and the grass is white. It’s just starting to stick to the sidewalks but the street looks just wet. It’s pretty heavy and fairly large snowflakes falling. My gut feeling was it would be rain or sleet. ... More About: Snow
No snow this time.
2008-01-14 17:21:00 Pretty much like I’ve been suspecting we didn’t get any snow here. We got rain instead. I just didn’t see the temperature dropping fast enough for us. Besides that the storm was to form too far north and east to really give us anything. Maybe we’ll ahve better luck next time. There was a time when ... More About: Time , Snow

2008-01-03 21:52:00 I got to spend a couple hours in a book store yesterday. I love books and could have walked out with a car full if it wasn’t so inconvenient to read them.
