A weatherman on the local evening news said our low of 31 last night was warmer than the low in many places in Florida.

I see on CNN that it got down to 47 in Key West.

Last winter we had 97 inches of snow by the time it was over. I'm quite willing to have that spread out over the rest of the world this winter. So far this year we've had very little snow but it's been cold.

Denny, I wonder how many people understand your postscript: subduction leads to orogeny? Of course, when I was studying geology back in the sixties, you wouldn't have heard that expression either. There was no mention of plate techtonics. dunno....had to look it up myself :tomato: It was mentioned ...

Ha. Mine's better - I don't have to do any work at all: Attention: Beneficiary, RE: US$7,000,000:00 INHERITANCE FUNDS I am Barrister James B. Charles.

Or, better yet, read the book?

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain. There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain. The whole world is festering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles. Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch and I don't like anybody very muc...

I just saw it today also. Not exactly how I had ever pictured Holmes or Watson, but a pretty good movie. I wasn't even thinking about who the mystery man was - and when that was revealed, I mentally went "duh. Of course."

Not only did my brother and I have a Creepy Crawler maker,he managed to keep one. I think I saw one of the things we made in his music room not too long ago! Most of the stuff we just took for granted would hurt us, or found out the hard way, would never make it to the stores today. Kids only fall ...

My blind friend was so sure Y2K was the end times he listened to every kook show on the radio and he insisted we store some water and food. He still insists we "dodged the bullet" on Y2K and that some disaster is just around the corner, so he has food and water stored away in his basement,...

I had a Chatty Cathy! She only talked for about the first 5 pulls, then she said "grrrssssgggggrrrrrrcccccckkkkrrrrrrggggg" for the rest of her "toy life". I had Tiny Chatty Baby. When she quit talking, my father opened her up and fixed her so the little record worked again. The...
