It doesn't screech like it used to. We have anti-lock brakes, now, *G*.

Hmmm... the flakes are getting larger and more frequent.

"You mean illegal cable? Who told you that I want his name. You're offering me a bribe. What you have just done is illegal. And in this state if convicted, you could face up to a 500 dollar penalty, or spend six months in a correctional faciiiiillity.
Huuuuhh, I'm just jerkin' you're chain. You are too easy. Wake up little snoozie, smell the smellin' salt. I'll juice you up."

Well, I survived the visit from the cable guy, but he did manage to knock out my cable modem for most of the day...you just can't get good help these days! LOL.

As for the weather update, well...it started snowing again this morning. Does that mean I get to stay home again???

If you can't find an inner tube or sled, cafeteria trays work pretty good. Just lean back a little.

I just checked my stash and it looks like I could hold out for quite some time. I think the ferret got into the Mocha Mousse Pie mix, tho'... If it wasn't the little weasel, I've got a Large Rodent problem.
