We got about 5" of new snow on top of that freezing rain we had a couple of days ago,,,
which had mostly melted,,,except for the shaded areas.
I had to work and had already been out and started the Scion to let it warm up,, and swept it off.

Some bastard just hit me in the face with a sno,,,,nope,,I'm horizontal.

I hit the ground on my side before I realized I was falling.

Got up, looked around to see if anybody saw me and there
was 2 little snowbirds falling all over themselves laughing at me.
The Queen heard me go thud and come out to check on me.
She got me a towel and gave me words of encouragement.

(Get out there and try again Big Boy)
I can definately drive better on the snow and ice than I can walk.
I waited till I got to work to do a total damage assessment.
Dern good thing the ground was there to break my fall.

bag of shoestring potato chips.(glad it wasn't the bottom)
The later it got into the night,,the more I realized I had jarred myself pretty good.
Probably tried to cram my shoulder in my ear.
Decided to come home early since there wasn't much going on at work.

I didn't write this, although I wish I had.
How many of the things below have you heard and believed?
THE REAL STORY!!!!!!!
Big companies don't do business via chain letters.
Bill Gates is not giving you $1000, and Disney is not giving you
a free vacation.
There is no baby food company issuing class-action checks.
Proctor and Gamble is not part of a satanic cult or scheme, and
its logo is not satanic.
MTV will not give you backstage passes if you forward something
to the most people.
The Gap is not giving away free clothes. Nissan nor Honda is
giving away a free car. You can relax; there is no need to pass
it on "just in case it's true."
There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking
up in a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend swears
it happened to their cousin. If you are hell-bent on believing
the kidney-theft ring stories, I quote: "The National Kidney
Foundation has repeatedly issued requests for actual victims of
organ thieves to come forward and tell their stories." None
have. That's "none" as in "zero", "zip" ~~ not even your
friend's cousin. Not even if your uncle is a lawyer and says
it's true.
Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe.
If the latest NASA rocket disaster DID contain plutonium that
went to particulate over the eastern seaboard, do you REALLY
think this information would reach the public via an AOL chain
letter?
There is no gang initiation plot to murder any motorist who
flashes headlights at another car driving at night without
lights.
Craig Shergold (or Sherwood, or Sherman, etc) in England is not
dying of cancer or anything else at this time and would like
everyone to stop sending him their business cards. He apparently
is no longer a "little boy" either.
The "Make a Wish" foundation is a real organization doing fine
Work, but they have had to establish a special toll free hot
line in response to the large number of Internet hoaxes using
their good name and reputation. It is distracting them from the
important work they do.
If you are one of those who forwards anything that "promises"
something bad will happen if you "don't," DON'T forward it, you
will be fine.
Women really are suffering in Afghanistan, but forwarding an e-
mail won't help their cause in the least. If you want to help,
contact your local legislative representative, or get in touch
with Amnesty International or the Red Cross.
As a general rule, e-mail "signatures" are easily faked and mean
nothing to anyone with any power to do anything about whatever
the competition is complaining about.
KFC really does use real Chickens with feathers and beaks and
feet. No, they really do. I read this in email.
HA! So, why did they change their name?
In this health conscious world, what was KFC's name?
Kentucky FRIED Chicken. FRIED is not healthy. So with the
help of a focus group, they changed the name to KFC. It's
short, doesn't offend dieters and it's easy to remember.
Another thing, just because someone said in a message, four
generations back, that "we checked it out and it's legit," does
not actually make it true.
There is no bill pending before Congress that will allow long
distance companies to charge you for using the Internet.
Bottom Line... composing e-mail or posting something on the Net
is as easy as writing on the walls of a public restroom. Don't
automatically believe it until it's proven false... ASSUME it's
false, unless there is proof that it's true.
Now tell everybody you know,, or else......

Just for fun, I took it out for a test drive. I wanted to sense that new "feel" before they become extinct...

The salesman (a black man wearing an Obama "change" lapel pin) sat in the passenger
seat describing the truck and all its "wonderful" options.
The seats were of particular interest.
He explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter and
directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat.
Feeling like messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.
Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck.

I explained that if it were a Democrat truck, the seats would blow smoke up your ass year-round.
I had to walk back to the dealership... Damn guy had no sense of humor.
