Tuesday, March 5, 2013Good morning crew,
It is two weeks away from the first day of spring and right now we are in the middle of a snow storm. So far it has snowed about an inch, and if some forecasts are to be believed we can expect as much as five more before tonight!
To listen to the news talk about it we are experiencing a catastrophe. Sure, there might be a few people who are under prepared, but six or seven inches is hardly the end of the world. I guess the news has to have something to sensationalize. And just because it is winter people tend to forget that we are still in a drought. This snow is a blessing, really.
Of course, I probably won't be thinking that when I am driving fifteen miles-an-hour below the speed limit through slushy streets this afternoon, but then again there was a blizzard in Japan last weekend that killed nine people!
Chances are pretty slim that I will freeze to death in between 183rd and 151st streets. Especially in my truck. Days like today are the only times I am happy that I kept the truck after I sold the boat.
So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***One snowy evening my brother, a regional police officer, stopped a car at a roadside check for drunk drivers. "Good evening, ma'am," he greeted the lady. "How are you this evening?"
"Fine, thank you," she replied.
My brother continued, "Anything to drink this evening?"
Surprised, the lady answered, "Uh...no, thank you."
