TODAY'S GRAFFITI CURRENCY
Doctor: "You're hot-blooded. Check it and see."
Thanks, Harvey. I needed a defunct lightweight British band stuck in my head, playing one song over...and over...and over...and....
God, I hope they ARE defunct, and not mounting "Farewell Tour #?".
It's vindictiveness from being stuck in the cold, while Tennesseans are enjoying a balmy 29-degree day, isn't it?
Hell hath no vindictiveness like a Cheesehead who just finished snowblowing his driveway in single-digit temps :-)
I thought "snowblowing" was what I did with cocaine back in the early '80s.
We had 2" of snow the other day & I couldn't get out until 10:30 AM. I am not joking. Laugh away.
In my defense, TN winters are different. I live in a very hilly area; very folded country. There are many tucks and creases around that the sun never hits. Add to this that we aren't usually that far below freezing, and that we therefore have to deal more with ice, or with ice-slicked snow, and it becomes understandable.
Of course, add in the idiots. On my first attempt, at 0600, I made it mostly up the hill (all directions are uphill from my place), then lost it on a sharp uphill curve, and drifted my way into an abandoned driveway. When I made it out later, I carefully negotiated my way over the same icy patch (north-facing, so the sun doesn't hit there) only to be flagged down by a man who'd just used his tractor to pull out a Blazer that'd made it maybe 30 feet past where I had. Some fools think 4WD means you can drive normally. I was in my '72 2WD Chevy truck.
