You guys have got me brainwashed !
« on: February 24, 2015, 02:58:13 PM »
Snow last couple of days.  Mud, dirty car windows, slush, the usual crap after a snowstorm.

So I'm out and about getting groceries and I pull up at a traffic light and glance in my rear view mirror out my back window to see a big truck pull up behind me.  There a big "OAH-U" on the box over the cab.

"What the hell is a truck from Oahu doing all the way up here in Colorado?" I ask myself..

Blink, look in my mirror again

Oh, it's A "U-HAUL" truck with the L just out of vision of my dirty muddy window and the letters backwards in the mirror.  And I misread the "U."

Grinned and turned on the back windshield washer.

You guys have got me going, all right.

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

What is this "snow" you speak of?
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

If you get cold then go sit in a corner somewhere. They are usually around ninety degrees.
If you dissolve your enemies in acid, technically that's turning your problems into a solution.

Well, for most of my life I could bare my chest and my teeth to the howlingest wind-driven sleet, snow, and hail storms.

Nowadays, I just ride out the storms in my heat-paid-for senior apartment and consume my stored comestibles.  Then when it clears up, I go out and restock and get the mail at the post office.  That's what I was doing when I saw the OAH-U sign on the truck.  Selective perception, I guess.

It was pretty warm, 43 or something degrees.

More snow coming this way tonight through  Thursday:

Graphs updated and current at the time you click on that link.  I'm pretty sure it will show up as Mountain Standard Time, not Pacific Time, but I'd be interested to know.
