stupid HOA...

They didn't send anybody in to take care of the then ice-snow combo yesterday through our neighborhood and especially the culdesacs.

So today, it's all ice.  4 inches thick anywhere a car hasn't crushed it.  I know, I was standing on it and not sinking.

And being 4 inch thick ice, they aren't going to bring a truck now, 'cause the ice will win.

And being 27 degrees today, all the sun in the world ain't going to melt it except the top, which is just going to get worse as that refreezes.

And being that it's going to stay well below freezing for at least 4 more days...

lost in translation?

When I say "no onions, no peppers, add mustard" that does not mean "no lettuce, no tomato, no mayo, no onions, no peppers, add mustard".

*sigh*

it's as bad as a Wendy's a while back where i asked "#2, ketchup mustard only" and they left the cheese off.

So many lines, so few spaces in the wardrobe for newly printed t-shirts.

Not exactly pg rated, mind you, especially the winner. But damn funny.

I liked an honorable mention: “I don’t want to boast about my staying power, but by the time we’re finished, Kent Hovind will be out of jail”.

What a short, strange trip.

Gore announces 'global warming' concerts - Yahoo! News:

LOS ANGELES - Al Gore announced on Thursday a series of worldwide concerts to focus on the threat of climate change, with a powerhouse lineup from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Snoop Dogg to Bon Jovi.

The 24-hour event on July 7 is part of a campaign, Save Our Selves — The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, that promoters hope will trigger a broad movement to address what the former vice president calls a global climate crisis.

Let me get this straight.

We're going to promote awareness of global warming by holding a massive series of rock concerts involving

• dozens of 18 wheeler trucks and
• several gas-guzzling tour buses, to a bunch of cities, to put on shows that
  
• use tons of electricity,
  
• likely primarily generated by coal-burning plants, to blare out the message to kids who all had to drive to these concerts,
  
• many each in their own individual cars for at least part, if not all, of the trip.

Yeah, I see the message.  Yet another variation on destroying the world to save it.

He was better off just marketing the dvd.

the ice ain't goin' nowhere...

Fairfax, Loudoun, Montgomery, and others around DC have all already declared themselves closed for tomorrow.

Given that several times a day, a bus does have to get into my neighborhood, pick up (or drop off) some 10-15 kids at a time, and we have unplowed ice roads and no sidewalk, and we're not alone in being in such crappy shape, I'm not surprised.

I'm leaving here soon so I can be at home and ready if faireraven 's car decides to be temperamental again.
