Barry,

 BM> That's good!  ...We were discussing the rather windy conditions here a
 BM> few days ago; surprised the power had not glitched; don't recall the
 BM> power glitching during the winter storms either.

  I noted a moderate risk of strong tornadoes in the Texas and Oklahoma
Panhandles today (March 13). In the last several years...things like
violent weather, earthquakes, volcanic activity, etc., have increased
markedly.

 BM> This morning woke up to 32ø!  Supposed to get into the low 50's this
 BM> afternoon; highs in the mid- to upper 40's the next few days.

  Winter is all but gone here...especially considering the vernal
equinox is next Saturday.

 BM> This morning's news had a brief list of major construction projects
 BM> starting next week in the area as part of their Traffic Alerts segment.

  So many drivers are in their own little world, and not paying attention
to these zones. So, they wait until the last second to cut over, etc. The
fines in the work zones are DOUBLED when workers are present. To me, it
should be QUINTUPLED (5 times), and their Drivers License should be
permanently revoked. Many construction workers with the highway department
have been hurt or killed by these drivers who speed along like "a bat out
of Hades".

 BM> I had done an update to my snow comment -- there was a strip of snow by
 BM> the south fence -- in the shade but the snow had not melted on either
 BM> side of where this strip of snow was and seemed like that was just as
 BM> much in the shade if not more.  Also a pile of snow from shovelling the
 BM> driveway -- that's all melted.

  I've seen snow as late as April 19 in Little Rock on 2 occasions...but
the ground was too warm, so it was just "eye candy".

 BM> We'll wait! <bseg>

  I found it <blush!>...a button with a snowflake on it. :P

Daryl
