OFF TOPIC - the ladybug "lost" her mittens
Last night, when I dropped all the wet snow gear in the dryer, I didn't
notice there were no mittens. This morning, at bus time, I just found another pair. After the bus, I noticed this pile of gray/black next to the door. Ah the lost mittens. FROZEN IN PLACE. Since the kettle was still hot, I poured it over the mittens to find a second pair, even more frozen under them. It two more kettlefuls to get them melted enough to pry off the deck...... C |

I love winter in California. Brrr - I went out to run errands and I AM still cold! C It's 62 and very windy here and I'm surprised at myself. I was cold when I went out and I was wearing a light leather jacket. Where are the days when I never closed my coat and/or wore a hat. L |

OFF TOPIC - the ladybug "lost" her mittens
Over 530 schools around here closed today. No snow, wind chills only
predicted for -20 (current conditions = temp of +5 and wind chill of -15). Schools in Iowa (where it was colder both in actual temp and wind chill) were mostly open or doing 2-hour delays so no buses would have to run before full sunup. And around here when the public schools close, all the private schools, preschools, and daycares follow suit. Since no businesses or government offices were closing today, all these school closings are a huge disservice--how are parents supposed to go to work when the schools and daycares won't open? And I'll bet dollars to donuts it isn't *really* because they are concerned about kids getting to school in the cold--it is because the school can save a ton of money by having a long weekend and not heating the building up or running buses today. &*$#! unconstitutional school funding issues! The Akron superintendent was actually whining in the newspaper because Akron didn't have any "snow" days last year. Whole thing makes me sick. -- Brenda Help Project Gutenberg--become a Distributed Proofreader http://www.pgdp.net/ |
