I believe you're correct Russ T., I believe your cousin M.T. is havin' a birthday.  I mistakenly thought Silent Joe was wishin' me a happy
birthday and mine ain't comin' up again til April.  I do have an anniversary comin' up soon though.  As I told Silent Joe, as long as I've been married and as old as I am, I'm not sure which is worse, birthdays or anniversaries! ;D  I'm wishin' M.T. a happy birthday too!

By the way, did you say there was an openin' for town drunk?

MT, You've got a great friend in Roger. Friends like him are hard to come by. He is a true PARD! Think about us poor folks that actually have winter.

I used ta work in Kansas alot when I lived in MO.  In the winter, the clear days were the coldest when that wind kicked up.  You couldn't put on enough layers ta keep the bite away.

The winters is one of the reasons I don't live in the Texas Panhandle anymore. It snows up there and really gets cold. We don't have much winter weather in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, which suits me just fine. I worked construction in Oklahoma and Kansas in the winter when I got out of college and before the Army. Working outside in the cold and snow got old real fast.

I lived in Dallas a short while.  What I remember are the ice storms.  Made the trees right pretty and the roads right slick. :-\

Went through one of them ice storms in KC.  The next morning is beautiful.  Trees look like glass figurines, but man it causes some havoc.  Power lines down, transformers blown, tree limbs in the road.  That one built 6 inches so it was a doozie.  Don't know how many times I slipped and fell on my butt everytime I had ta go outside.

We had an ice storm one time, I was walking down the sidewalk. I hit a slick spot and fell down. I landed on the grass in the front yard.  I just laid there to make sure I didn't have any broken bones. My wife ran outside and almost fell herself. She's hollerin' and I'm just lyin' there. She thought I was knocked out. She didn't appreciate my explanation.

We had a bad one here once.  The front yard sorta slopes slightly down toward the driveway.  Got down the steps real carefully, and on the grass to pick up the morning paper. Slipped on the icy grass and slid all the way to the driveway.  I hope I never see another ice storm like that one

Don’t matter what the weather is. Same poor reportin’ ‘n ya ain’t gottah pay for it or get yer hands dirty with the print edition. Ya kin still read ‘bout the loon what got herownself strangled ta death by her pet python. The snake was like a member of the family.

Plus, ya get all of the well informed ‘n thoughtful user comments ya don’t get in the printed rag. It’s always good for a laugh with yer mornin’ coffee.

I was goin' to get some lunch yesterday afternoon, pulled up to the intersection and noticed the car to my right. The driver has some sort of snake wrapped around his left hand.
