| Back to the original topic, we just had some "thunder
snow" here in
| Madison. Thunder and lightning during a snowstorm. I've
only heard/

| We got something like 8 inches of snow last night, another
12-14
| tonight.
| the plane is safely tucked away in the hanger.

Nah, the frogs don't come until after the water turns the blood. We've got
time yet.

Actually, if global warming did melt all the ice on land and
the oceans did rise 20 feet, it would make rebuilding New
Orleans moot and save the taxpayers a lot of money. And
just think of all the new seaports. The whole state of
Florida would become a skin-divers paradise, but it would
ruin the bass fishing in the glades.
And Brittney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith are "real" news.

Freezing rain has been coming down all day here in Iowa City. We've
got 1/2 inch of ice on everything, huge tree limbs crashing down,
grenade-sized chunks of ice raining down.

No one is flying. No one is driving. Most areas have no power. (We
still do, thankfully!)

Crazy.... And they're talking about 6 - 10 inches of snow tomorrow!



Brrr!

Yup, the Iraq debacle is nothing, keep your eyes on the Oscar, not the lives and billions of dollars wasted in the
desert...

It wasn't wasted until after the November election, now the
Dimocrats want to be sure George Bush's legacy is failure.
George, I'm sure has other plans.

The BBQ is always fired up, and the beers always cold!

Hey -- that's *my* line! I *knew* I liked you Ozzies for
something! :-)

We headed home after I started this thread last night, only to sit in
the dark. All of our camping gear sure came handy, especially those
"wind-up-dynamo" lights and radios that went on sale after the Year
2000 didn't become the disaster everyone predicted... ;-)

Came in at 5:30 this morning to start the clean up. The hotel looks
pretty much the way it did after the tornado last spring, except our
new fence wasn't demolished -- only broken where a big tree limb
smashed down on it.

I just got back from Menard's, where I bought a chain saw. There were
25 guys in line buying chain saws -- they'll be sold out in an
hour... We've got limbs the size of my leg down everywhere.
Thankfully, no one was hurt -- but a guest with a beautiful new Chevy
pickup truck learned that it wasn't wise to park under a tree in an
ice storm...

The good news is: They were wrong about the snow. It got too warm,
and it ended up just rain...thankfully. And, hey, our Governor has
declared our county in a "state of emergency"...

Bush is writing his legacy just fine on his own, doesn't need any help from the dimocrats...

Mission accomplished?.

For those not from Illinois or Iowa, Mendard's is a hardware
store/home center.
