Heads Up
Guys, I am blissfully on the beach in Bolivar for the weekend and early next week. Unbeknownced to me, there is no wifi or cell phone at the beach house.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you.
Chat amongst yourselves and I will go approve comments a couple times a day when we leave to sightsee in the area.
Well, it was 1 in the car this morning…I have never seen such snow! The handrail I normally use is unusable because the snow is so high! Luckily it’s soft landings, just wet by the time I get in or out to the car. Body sized icicles (very sharp) continue to need thinning…it’s amazing! Upstate NY is very beautiful to this desert raised person. I am looking forward to this springs plantings and once we know where the next move is,the two barrel spinning composter that I’ve been wanting will be mine…unless we go to Manhattan…that will be an entirely new game!
1It’s snowing here now but didn’t start in time to cancel school. Just hope it doesn’t get much worse.
We may have 100 degrees in the summer (Oklahoma). A year or so back it hit 100 every day for about a month. But when it’s like that I just say, “I didn’t have to drive on ice or scrape the windshield and my fingers aren’t numb from the cold.” and it doesn’t seem near as bad.
Of course when it’s hot I also say “Thank God for air conditioning.” I grew up before it became common, so I know how good it is.
For you people who like cold weather with all it brings, I just say, I’m glad somebody enjoys it.
2Its a balmy 40F and raining today, here in southcentral Alaska, Anchorage area for you out-of-towners. The Iditarod dog Sled Race has been move to Fairbanks due to lack of snow, the Iron Dog Race (snowmachine race from Anchorage to Nome to Fairbanks) started off in a mud puddle yesterday. the Yukon Quest the dog sled race from Whitehorse to Fairbanks ended last week in Fairbanks and the temp was mid 30s. Looking forward to an easy breakup and spring trout fishing.
3Happy Birthday, EPO, you young whipper snapper, you.
4Hope you get to do something fun, like sled-ride down a big hill or build a snow fort, bake a cake or watch football. I like to watch DVD’s from the time (long ago) when the Steelers were good. I toast you with my cup of cocoa.
I’d really like to say thanks,Maryelle,but 39(and counting) years of chronic back trouble gets added to the chronological age so I’m nearly 101 physiologically. I’d settle for sitting on a pond after dark catching crappies through the ice,if I could get out there w/o falling on my keester and not being able to get up. Rubber legs,doncha know.
5Morning fellow Beauty Salon Customers. I have some news…
Seems a body has been found on High Island on Bolivar Peninsula yesterday. So we got ourselves a mystery here.
Was the victim a Republican?
Anyone see Tom Delay lately?
Was Sean Hannity on Bolivar looking for ill-eagles?
Was Rick Perry still looking for Jean LaFitte’s buried treasure?
Where was JJ when this happened?
Will Truman come home with a new bone?
Knowing our JuanitaJeanHersOwnSelf, you just know she has some inside info on this story.
I told y’all this is where people go to disappear. Bad stuff happens on Bolivar. Hurry home, JJ! Be safe!

6Speaking of Iditarod,Coprolite,I am a survivor of diptheria back in the 1950s. No sled dogs around here,but thankful for the serum anyway.
7Lorraine, I love mysteries, esp. funny ones. You owe all of us an extension of your questions. You prolly could sell it on Amazon and make a ton of money. You kNOW that JJ will be hovering somewhere nearby with her fancy phone in hand, catching up on all the er, uh, mysteries.
8My best guess is JJ is innocent. Hoping she would have whacked the SOB with a hairbrush or curling iron. Not that she has a mean bone in her body mind you. Heck we don’t even know if the the body WAS a wingnut.
9While the body has not been identified, the description was “Hispanic male, approximately 40 years of age.”
EPO, that sort of rules out wingnut. Where is Bob Durst, or more to the point, where’s his gardener?
10Coulda been Alberto Gonzalez,PKM. Boss is coming home. Now we have to put all that money back into the til that nobody wanted to play with. I had a good time,so far. Mid 30s manana and then back below zero and snow on Wednesday. And so it goes. Welcome home,JJ. Hope you are relaxed and refreshed. There be wingnut varmints all over out there that need to be slain.
11e platypus onion, Attorney duh Fraud misses the description by twenty years or so.
Ruh Roh!
