Ok you people. It may have been June 1, the first day of winter down here, but did you have to move the snow here? See Banner Lady's post in downunder thread. Canberra's minimum last night was apparently -10°C and ice and snow are making many roads dangerous.
Enough, thank you.

Go away Wodders.
Can you actually remember what "snow" looks like? It's that wet, cold, white* stuff that Civilised Parts get in the winter.
* At least it's white for the first ten minutes. For the next three months it's a mucky grey, and is called "snirt".

When I was a kid in Pennsylvania, snow fell on us on the Fourth of July. We were determined to have our traditional picnic. We didn't go swimming, however.

latest I remember from northern Mass was going to easter sunrise service in a snow suit..
I had a very trying day today. My best friend's mom fell a couple of days ago and broke her ankle. She had surgery yesterday and pretty much can't put any weight on her foot for a while. We tried to get the hospital to keep her for long enough so she could qualify to go straight to a nursing home/rehab facility for care, but she has no insurance and the hospital cut her lose today.
My best friend is named Mark, and there are some things he's really not comfortable helping his mom do (go potty for example), so he and I drove 2 hours one way to pick up one of his nieces to come stay with his mom to help. His niece and I then drove another hour to the hospital to pick mom up.
It took two very stout female nurses to get mom out of the chair into the wheelchair, and one big ole male nurse to help us get her into the van to take her home.
We finally got her to her daughter's house, loaded into the wheelchair, up the makeshift ramp, and into the house, when she announces she has to pee...so niece and I have to help.
K. I love my friend. I love his mom, but I've pulled up far too many old lady underpants today.
I'm exhausted. I love his mom, but OMG, I'm in for six weeks of this stuff...
and did I mention that mom weighs in at about 220 lbs? and is a drama queen too boot?
On second thought this should be on the Hell thread, except for the fact that I'm not actually related to her LOL
I hope everyone's day was more relaxing and more fun than mine....

I do not like our current weather. It's much too hot and humid for this time of year. It also rains unexpectedly when I don't have an umbrella with me.
I had to go to Roanoke today, which has an altitude 1500 feet lower than Blacksburg. It was HOT. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Only 100 degrees today instead of 108. Should be cooler the rest of the week. Color me relieved.
I took a very long shore leave to recover from a lengthy illness that left me in organ failure for a while. Still recovering, with surgery still a possible, but I wanted back on the ship. Missed being here.

We've recently been getting some terrific downpours, and since our area is supposed to have a lot of rain every year, it's not a problem. Most of the time. Standing water makes new gator highways. So, one might see a gator where one might not normally expect to.
For instance, a couple of days ago, I was tooling down the interstate, and was just getting off my exit, and there at the side of the exit ramp, just a few feet from the highway, was a good sized dead gator.
Now I don't know about you, but I can't imagine going 70 mph (or higher...you know how some drivers are! ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif) ) and lo and behold there's a gator walking right where you want to go. Should you swerve and hope the other drivers see what's going on and accommodate you? Or should you just hit the thing knowing that it's going to do some damage?
This is the second dead gator I've seen on the interstate. The other one was actually on an overpass, so not near grass, water or anything!!

What size were these gators? I know our cars are still typically smaller than yours but a friend's car was written off after hitting a domestic pig estimated at 250lb. Stopped the car pretty much dead, with the airbags inflating. I suppose if you hit a gator with a Hummer or a Ford F150 you could drive away, but smaller vehicles may have trouble.

The students are back. They just arrived this week, and they're busy stocking up on everything. Right now the parking lots at Wal-Mart and the grocery stores are full.
Since the students outnumber the townspeople by more than two to one, their arrival has a tremendous impact.
I should have remembered to do most of my shopping last week.

Down here it is a wombat which will wreck a car. Shaped like a tank and heavy too, they cause major damage. Roos are known to do substantial damage too and a National Park south of Sydney has deer which are a menace to cars.

Here in Newfoundland the animal motorists need to be most wary of is the moose - they're really not the brightest of God's creatures. They tend to wander into the road after dark (especially in winter when there's salt on the road, which they like to lick). Moose encounters can be very nasty indeed.
Fortunately I'm not speaking from experience ... so far ... ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)

A doctor who was in charge of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital emergency room wrote an article about what to do when you see a moose in the road. The doctors at that hospital see the victims of many moose-automobile collisions.
He said that if the moose is standing broadside, and you can't stop, aim for his hind legs. The most dangerous scenario is to have your car go between his front and back legs. He will come up on the hood of the car, and go through the windshield.
A friend of my daughters, who was an extremely quick thinker, undid her seatbelt and crouched under the dash when she saw the moose's body coming. She wasn't hurt, but her car was severely damaged.

The gator I saw the other day was 6-7 feet. It was about 12-14" in diameter. The other one on the overpass was a bit bigger. Not huge by any means, but would mess up your alignment at the least!
When I was in Alaska a number of years ago, there were several times we heard about moose vs. car/truck encounters. I think I'd rather see a gator on the road.
But, moose! Yummy yummy!

Bees off a bike helmet are amazing - they go off with a really loud 'pock' and freak you out no end. A bee in the eye is rather bad news (several times for me, but not yet, I'm relieved to say, stung) and any insect in the ear (somehow tucked in behind all that helmet foam) is infuriating.
And the things you swallow...well. You can tell a happy motorcyclist by the flies in his teeth. I've a front one missing...I ought to yield to spousal pressure and get a bridge, for bee-defence purposes.

When I was young, most of what we ate was hunted and gathered. We had a huge garden an we ate very well from that. Mom canned veggies and fruits and put them on shelves in the basement. My Grandpa would go down there when he visited us to just look at the jewel-like colors of the glass jars filled with bounty!
Deer, rabbits and squirrels were regular meats we ate, along with fish that we caught. We'd have a meal with pan fried trout and fresh dandelion greens often during the late spring and summer. Dad would sometimes go with his friends to catch salmon in Michigan.
Everything tasted so good, we children had no idea that we were dirt poor. We also didn't know that we were eating like kings!

Reminds me of a story I heard on Islay, in the Hebrides.
Local lad goes to London and does well for himself, so he has his parents down to visit and puts them up in a posh hotel. On their return, the neighbours want to hear all about it.
'Oh it was wonderful. They had the electric lights on all night even when no one was up. And lovely food - but we didn't want to cost Angus too much, so we just ordered the simple things like oysters and salmon and venison...'

Oysters were reckoned to be the food of the poor in 19th century London, which seems unimaginable now.
When D. was growing up in Colchester (and he's not that old ), the native oysters were a shilling a dozen; now the sky's the limit.

When New England was first settled, lobster was very easy to harvest. So easy that servants' contracts had a clause, that they would not be forced to eat lobster more than twice a week.

The sawdust restaurants with oyster shells were not the haunts of the well-off. Sawdust to make the floors easier to clean (remember the butchers' shops?); the oysters were cheap.

I went on a Senior Center trip to The Museum of Country Music in Bristol yesterday. It was fascinating, and I learned a lot about the history of the recording industry as well as country music.
Before the mid-1920s all recordings had to be made in specially equipped studios, which were found only in very large cities. Then someone invented a microphone which did not require such a specialized facility. Up until that time, recordings were made only of music that was known across the country, such as opera and popular songs like, "A Bicycle Built for Two". No one was sure what other music was out there. Some entrepreneurs asked around, and were told that there was a lot of original music in Appalachia, so they headed for Bristol.
They ran advertisements all over the area offering fifty dollars to any individual or group that would come and be recorded. During a period of two weeks they recorded seventy-six songs by nineteen different acts. They reaped a wonderful harvest, including the discovery of the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers.
The records they made sold widely and introduced the rest of the country to mountain music.
I had a very nice day.

Dang, MOO, that wasn't there when I went to college there. You sound like you had a good time at the museum, though. Haven't been to Bristol is what seems like eons.

I think Erika will turn out to be very like our regular afternoon thunderstorms! That's not to say we shouldn't get our supplies in. Oreos and Cheetos are a must!
They (weather shamans) can't seem to make up their minds if she's going to the Atlantic, to the Gulf, to the east coast of FL or the west coast. We've had so many scenarios presented to us over the last five days.
