Subj : Re: snow.. To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Tue Dec 30 2025 03:27:51 Barry, BM> Right: if don't need to be out in the nasty conditions don't BM> be. In my situation was driving home from college and what BM> started off as rain turned to an icy rain. We had a line of heavy rain and strong winds ahead of a strong arctic cold front this past Sunday...when it was in the mid 70s. The next morning, it was in the upper 20s. There was some lightning in areas northeast of Little Rock...but the worst of the severe weather (tornadoes) was in portions of Illinois and Indiana. Then, behind the system across much of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa (your neck of the woods) Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan...there were huge amounts of snow, blizzard/whiteout conditions, and a myriad of stranded motorists. BM> As for the Lyft/Uber/taxi (etc. ?) drivers, I wouldn't call BM> them in bad conditions either. I'm thinking the medical BM> clinics might be open -- depends on when the bad weather BM> started relative to their opening hours -- if the weather is BM> nasty they should forgive the cancellation fee. If there's winter weather, many times the clincs won't be open, as the staff can't make it in either. DS> He works one day a year, then spends the rest of the time DS> watching us. :P BM> Tom. Peeping Tom. I saw a meme that noted "I've been watching you all year. Not only have you been naughty, but you're mentally disturbed!!". I emailed a lady friend, telling her "We've been found out!!" . BM> I think I have a scar back there. Well, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Several years ago, I had a benign cyst removed off the left butt cheek. It was so deep that I needed home health care for 6 weeks to clean the wound and repack the bandage, gauze, etc. until it healed. My late mother-in-law said "You get to show your butt, and have it rubbed". Yet, the term "benign" means it could've become cancerous. BM> LIS, it's all relative! We'll do early dismissals or close BM> schools when it gets in the upper 90's. Older buildings were BM> built without air conditioning and between Mother Nature's heat BM> and the heat given off by crowded classrooms get a bit toasty. If they don't have the air conditioning in the warm months, and the heater in cold months, it's not conducive to do much of anything. BM> Will the restaurant be serving arm roast, leg of Ian, kidney BM> pie? If you are what you eat, what about the guy who consistently orders "rump roast"?? Along that line, a ham radio group had their monthly luncheon at a restaurant in Kirkwood, Missouri (near St. Louis). One member orders a pizza with everything (including jalapenos)...but he wants it "extra crispy". Normally at some restaurants, if it's a combo meal with a number, the waitress usually just writes the number on the ticket, and the chef knows what sandwich to prepare, and the waitress gets the drink. For example, if the turkey sandwich is #6, and they want extra pickles on it, the ticket to the chef may show "6, Extra Pickles". Back to the pizza, he had to keep sending it back, as it was not done enough to his liking. So the note the waitress wrote to the chef on the ticket, also made it to the receipt: "Burnt To S***"!! BM> And dress up on Marilyn Monroe Mondays?! I saw where French movie star Bridget Bardot passed away. Daryl ....
