Well, on the gambling thing, I was looking for one armed bandits, no such animal any more. They do have quarter machines, but darned few of them, people get them and take up residence. I just got tired of waiting around and besides those dang quarters where heavy to carry around. LOL
I am all done competing now at conventions, costs, too much.
That's my flag surviving the collapsed apple tree durinmg the storm that hit us.
That was my first thought...
My word, Mayor, Old Glory still flies!
What a shocker you folks had. I remember many years ago when I was living in the sticks, on October 5, we had 5" of snow. Nothing like your storm.
Lots of tree damage, but none to your house I take. That is always a big worry for me, I am surrounded by huge old trees. Limbs are always falling into the street and on the side walk, so far no big ones on the roof.
Personally I prefer Magaritais while sitting on the deck as I find the pitch of most roofs makes for rather uncomfortable seating. :-)
Tell hubby good job on the sidewalk but how come we always have the money for the fun projects after we get seasoned???

Good to see you too.
The snow is just about gone but the problems still persist everywhere.
Still 300,000 without power and trees down everywhere.
WOW, thanks for the pictures.
Sorry about the apple tree.
Yea we had the same problem here in Kansas City 10 years ago about the same time in October. Snow flurries ended up being 8" of heavy wet snow on trees that srtill had all thier leaves. Lot of people lost trees here as well as power for a week or more.
Good luck

It's early to know the completeness, she appears to be on the way to recovery.

Thanks alfaa6. Everytime I complain about not losing weight Sam just points to the yard!
No DSL available. You've got better connections in Iraq that we do here, it's a shame. Maybe you could recommend us for a job in Iraq?
Thank you radu.
