The first forecast I heard for overnight for today was 5-9” of new snow…then it was updated to 12-18”…well we got somewhere between 30 and 36” of new snow in about 7 hours…what a mess…

I think I’ve finally become that which as a teen/young adult always drove me nuts. I would be in the presence of older adults and the way they talked about the “good old days”…drove me nuts…(a pause in this as cat Aggie demands my attention)…

But the older I get…the less I understand the world as it is…(follows is a list in no particular order)

1-Piercing of the body other then in ears…(and I even question that)

२-Body art…tattoos…and in general the names of people you probably won’t be with for more then 3 weeks…and in particular what is common referred to as a “tramp stamp”.

3-People who don’t fully understand that the “right on red” law in NYS does not mean I’m fair game in a crosswalk if I get the walk icon…

4-People who are in a restaurant…okay fast food place…. (Note except for one I avoid them…prefer and enjoyed the local owned eateries better)…but think they have the right to:

A-talk at the top of their lungs

B-use whatever foul language they chose

C-comment on everyone else in the place…negatively of course…

(The rant light is off)

Oh happy days…I can finally write an entry without using a hammer on my keyboard. Had several keys that were either dead or dying…but picked up a new keyboard…and things are good again…

Very cold here…-20 something F…but not really a bad day…very little wind and sunny…

It’s been a very old fashion winter…lots of snow…lots of cold…lots of wind…reminds me of winters as a lad…global warming…at this point I don’t think so…

Been a strange 24…,got told a something I would never believe…except that peep told me…I trust…

It’s been more then a month since I posted last…and winter is definitely upon us here in the old North Country. Had nice thanksgiving weekend…good meal at my D’s on the day and some pleasant chat with the rest of the family the Saturday after. Nephew Nate and his intended Karen were there…eight of the ten smartest peeps I’ve ever met…maybe two very odd puzzle pieces that have fortunately found the one piece they go best with…D served me a dish I have never had…from an Amish cookbook…scalloped celery. Actually it would be more a gratin because there is cheese in the dish but…(sigh)…at thanksgiving I try to make sure normally (if anything about me can be called normal) the dressing and grave are in front of me…but I did make room for that celery dish…

Without realizing it until I looked tonight…I missed the 6^th anniversary of this slag heap I call my blog…is there a belated card for that? (hehe)

I’ve been watching “Jon and Kate + 8” on TLC channel…I could never have done what they are doing…I don’t care if one intercourse had produced 97 identical twins or one great kid…I never would have exposed them or her to a TV documentary…I understand, and at times forgive what my one, very unique D when thru…but would never have agreed to anyone one…(other then me)…exposing her to a filmed documentary of her first years…

I understand the dollars…and I understand with that many kids to feed why they made the choice…I would have found a second, or third job to support the multiplies …

But then that’s me
