I fell sorry for this guy, but it's hard not to laugh:

Reminds me of a story a Dawson County Deputy told me - he ignored several calls about an emu running loose north of Gothenburg,  when the Sheriff finally called on him face-to-face, he asked "can I shoot it?"  When the Sheriff said no, he said "Then I'm not going out there - I don't want to have to tell anyone that I got my a$$ kicked by a big chicken."

That story has floated this far already.

Not so much as a snow flake yet & they've already called school off for tomorrow. Better than our last "snow day" - they waited till I was half way to town to make the call.

Weather predictions aren't any better on this side of I-80 either Stu

Dang, Rita needed some Benadryl  tonight and I stopped at Super Saver after work.  Gonna be some POed folks if this storm don't hit, they were gettin' low on some things already.  Almost no milk, eggs, or bread, gonna be a lot of French Toast bein' made.

I got maybe 20 loaves in the freezer, always have canned milk in the cupboard and bought 2 dozen eggs the other day, did buy some cheese that was on sale.  Got some extra flour, if the lights go down and I have to heat a bit with the oven I might as well make more bread.

The Cawfee is hot and ready this morning. It's already 63 and the sun isn't up yet. I finished off the Tortilla Soup last night. Moose fell asleep on the loveseat and didn't eat supper. I sure would like to "raid" Del's freezer for some of that good bread he makes. It's been too long since I tasted some.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Ain't lookin' too bad fer tomora it the radar trap otherwise known as Waverly. They're shuttin' down the hi-rise in Chesapeake. Gonna hafta go thru Portsmouth, native pronunciation – Porchmuff, ta get there. Could be dangerous. May need an AK-47.............

[Delmonico]

After all that Rita had ate before I came home, she ran errands with a friend.  Bought some good store bought dried beef and made samwiches, chopped steak tonight. 

Rainin' and 42, spossed to rain all day, maybe, 'spossed to turn to snow tonight, maybe, a lot of maybe's in this one.   The maybe's that keep gettin' changed sometimes there is no maybe, they get right down to it.

[mestiza letty]

Mornin' y'all,
Thanks for the cawfee TLD. We'll have 45 for a high with partly cloudy skies and it's 21 'round here now.

[Texas Lawdog]

It's up to 64 and cloudy. The rain is going start any minute. The rain is supposed to stay around all weekend. I hope you folks north of us don't get any snow this weekend.

[Arcey]

Folks.....

In all sincerity, I know of no man who has done so much good for so many people. He even had his own brand of coffee, Uncle Pete's Coffee.

I could tell many stories. Embarrassed my young ass in court more'n once – I deserved it too.

He fought for as long as I've know him against childhood cancer. Raised millions of dollars for research. That horrible disease took his life.

Rest in peace, Uncle Pete. You will be sorely missed.

Prayers are up for Uncle Pete, Arcey..he did alot in your community..Cancer is mean

[Delmonico]

Prayers up Arcey, funny how you get to like the person you didn't like when you were younger.  I felt the same why when Officer Crastil passed from the same thing a few years ago, the motorcycle cop who gave me my first and only speeding ticket and the same for a lot of my friends.  He worked the area around my High School.

[Stu Kettle]

Seldom hear such high praise for a lawyer/judge - always sorry to hear of the loss of one of the good ones.

The snow made it.  Technically not a blizzard yet, wind's only about 25 mph,  tallest drift I can see from the window is only about 3 feet.  A good day to stay indoors.

[Delmonico]

We're supposed to change to snow this evening, one of those who know WTF is going to do storms.

[Leo Tanner]

Mornin. 

Prayers to the man and his family Arcey.  Hope someone is there to carry on his work for the kids.

Bout 40 here an clear.  Had terriake yardbird last night with some smoked cheese on top.  No tellin what's up for tonight.  Pop, eggs bennedict does make a fine supper.  Usually only go through the trouble on special occasions but Lil had a hankerin for it.  I keep it few an far between cause that sauce takes a whole stick of butter an 5 egg yolks...not good fer the ticker.

[Delmonico]

41 WC 31 here, still drizzling, stuff went south of us but seems to be circling around from the east, same pattern as the Christmas 2009 storm, gonna toss some extra cement blocks in the back before I leave.

[Delmonico]

It's sourdough again, sourdough is so fantastic for rye bread, both in flavor and the way it makes the texture so much nicer than using yeast.  It's raining and humid here today, it didn't crack and split like the stuff I've been making, I had a loaf at work last night and I commented on that.  Joe told me not to worry , he said if you go to the fancy store that makes expensive artisan bread , most of it is that way.  Gee I didn't realize I was being fancy, I thought it was just plain ol' homemade bread.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

THAT'S art, Del

[Leo Tanner]

Del, now that ya got the sourdough down, ya may enjoy makin up some sourdough pretzels.  They is good with all kinds of dips.

That's in the plan soon.  I already have the kosher salt.
