Kalif Swill guzzles..
"Probably did not even offer a cup of coffee" You would like this guy, Swill......he likes red wine so the wife will be picking up a couple bottles for him as soon as we get the Highlander back on the road. Haven't had it out since Saturday because of the two storms and the super narrow roads. |

Oh, and one nice bottle would probably be more appreciated than two screw tops. -- Guns don't cause problems. Gun owner *behavior* causes problems. |

Make sure it's not cooking wine. -- Respectfully submitted by Justan Laugh of the day from Krause "I'm not to blame anymore for the atmosphere in here. I've been "born again" as a nice guy." |

Offer to pay for his expensive gasoline? |

Finally took the Highlander out today for the first time since last Saturday. We were getting short on grub.
Our Springer Spaniel has cabin fever....he runs circles around the truck and looks at it..then me..demanding a ride. City still in bad shape...no on street parking since Tuesday night and our street is a narrow one lane. City still hasn't shown up to clear the sidewalks. Expecting another storm tonight but should be 40mm of rain. Wife and I shoveled a path down the driveway to the back deck and shoveled the 3 - 5 foot drifts off. We were afraid the snow would absorb rain and exceed the deck's weight tolerance. If we get another winter like this, I'll be trading the Toro electric for a proper snowblower. |

Where did you come up with that? |

Where did you come up with that? Rain soaked snow is a major cause of collapsed roofs and other structures, especially when they are flat. Rain soaked snow is much heavier than dry, powdery snow. During this past winter there were about 200 roofs or structures that collapsed in Massachusetts due to heavy snow that became saturated with rain, exceeding the load design limits of the buildings. Several were schools. Homeowners were constantly warned to remove snow from roofs and flat structures to prevent this. Rain saturated snow also lead to ice dams that can cause water to back up under roof shingles, causing major damage inside houses. Don's concerns are valid. |

Thank you Richard for having the patience to educate these dimwits. I usually don't and prefer to let them wallow in their ignorance. ;-) |
