Danged nice of your step-dad! Oh no! Up here they pour the salt/sand mix out of the back of these huge snow ploughs. Salt works at just about any temperature, it's just kinda harsh on everything. Personally, I just stay off the roads almost …

Do you even have snow plows? I really don't like that they pour salt and sand on the roads here. Very efficient, I'm sure but what a mess, especially after all of the snow is gone.

We're having the weirdest nor-easter here. I'm not complaining. It's kind of nice, all wind and no weather. Usually, there is a blizzard attached. A couple of trees down, so far, but no problem.

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken a back because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?" To which she replies, "I th…

So, was it twenty inches? I could be the sound dampening effect of the snow but there probably aren't a lot of cars on the road. Hahaha! That would be fun if you had a glass roof on the swimming pool. You could watch the snow while you swam!

Too funny. Real story. I didn't read the actual article but the headline was that a woman was rushed to the hospital at the last minute to have a baby because she didn't know she was pregnant??!?!

I've never understood why the use American actors for English or vice versa but, I gotta say, John Lithgow does a great Churchill. So, I checked wiki just to make sure he was American and ran across this quote of his (Lithgow, not Churchill). …

Actually, someone was saying that I should see Churchill's home which was supposed to be near Sissinghurst.

I liked the way they explained it in The Crown. English rule is about efficiency and dignity. The government is about the efficiency and the Monarchy is about the dignity.

I have to strongly recommend The Crown for recent English history. It is powerful and portrays The Queen wonderfully. It was interesting in one of the scenes with Queen Mary where she describes one of the primary purposes of the monarchy to be to r…

It's funny to me because when I say the weather has turned nice here, for most people, in most parts of the world, this is probably what is considered the dead of winter. By any measure up here, that groundhog was wrong.
