Post Race!

I walked up on a pair of otters hunting fish last summer. I got right to the bank before one of them noticed me. They look so quizzical, and seemed so unconcerned, that when the one dove, I thought it was coming closer to get a better look, but apparently it was headed back to the den, because I never saw it again. The other one then popped up and looked all over trying to find the first one. Eventually, it noticed me standing there, and also returned to the den.

They were slaughtering some fish, but the only fish there were tiny, so they were sucking them down like sardines. Very effective hunters, I'd have to say, which was good, cause it would take dozens of fish that size to fill an otter belly.

Almost went a week without a post.

Getting 20 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow!

Post Race!

We're getting spring, after a terrific winter.

90 degree weather for days now -_-

Round my way "90 degree weather" means the rain's coming in horizontal.

They said the same thing here. We got four inches.

We got 10 inches by noon - an hour of sleet/freezing rain - now it's just rain. Seems like a two hour snow ending around 8 tonight.

And constant 30+ mile/hour winds.

Snow blower is going to be a fail - shovel time...

Kind of funny that you folks are getting winter now. We've just left it behind. Buds are starting to appear (and not just the empties along the road).

Since the upper half of the US kind of missed out on lasting snow cover this year, this storm will melt away quickly with sun angle alone.

Back in 2013 (?) we had a 30 inch snowfall close to this date - and that closed up everything for 4 days and took forever to melt.

Im bored, literally watching some paint dry.

In Cleveland winter doesn't officially end until after the Indians' first homestand in April...

Attachment 145779

I remember a strong snow in May back when I lived in New Hampshire. Now, out in Idaho (which I still feel is in the upper half of the US), the grass is greening in the valley, and there's 100 inches of snow at the base on the ski hill above Boise. I'm trying to decide whether I'll go skiing again this year. I would have gone last week, but was away. Now it's pretty warm, even up there, so it'll be mushy during the day, and turning icy as the sun sets. Not sure I want to deal with that.

I am sick.

I am tired.

I am Legend.

I am Zorn.

I'm more in the sick camp, myself.

I am Spartacus

I am bored

Did I miss something???? How the heck did you get all that out of "I am sick"????

My point, way back when, was that the post race simply can't be a sprint. Only an insane person could win in a sprint.

I recently saw some photos on facebook of dday, his wife and his smokin' hot assistant Tracy at some formal event. And I've been a bit lonely lately. ;)

It may've been the Mardi Gras ball. We all went to Krew de la Maison de Calcasieu's and Krew of Cosmos' ball.

Yeah, that was it.

Ah, facebook. I can't say I was missing that.

Great Blue Heron just caught a foot long fish in the brook in my backyard. He waited patiently for it to stop flopping around to actually eat it!

We call them doo-doo birds because they're always in the ditches.

My wife calls them egrets.

The state calls them herons.

We have Snowy Egrets that will occasionally find the brook (once a year I might notice them). These GB herons are regular visitors. To see him flying down the stream bed with that big wing span (six+ feet) always impresses me. Our yard is the first one that has very little woods along the near side - so they often tear out of the brook and climb right over my office window.

RIP James Cotton :cry:

I tossed a French Grunt (a kind of fish that grunts, though I can't vouch for the accent) to a pelican, once. The bird swallowed the fish pretty quickly, then I could hear the fish still grunting in the belly of the bird.

We ended up being on National News as Binghamton, NY set a new 24 hour snow fall record (I think the snow pretty much stopped a little after 22 hours, so didn't snow the whole 24 hours, but we officially got 31.3 inches, breaking our old record of 23 inches.

Ended up getting two paid days of non-work because of it. The plow finally did our street last night, and I dug one car out of the driveway and went to work for a few hours. The good news is the hours of shoveling snow over the last three days knocked off about seven or eight pounds.

I got sunburned bad today

I got up today.

Now for a spot of work....

I wish I'd stayed in bed.

Duvets rule.

I slept in this morning :D

I might as well have stayed in bed.

It appears as though Gruff is at it down here: http://www.kplctv.com/story/34951240...ampaign=buffer

He's like Zorro. There's a load of mini-Gruffs keeping his legacy alive.:)

Loudly. A real rackety coon.

I had my vasectomy procedure done yesterday.

It feels like somebody just periodically kicks me straight in my 'nads.

I feel like Dr. House though, because they prescribed me Vicodin.

Thank God for the Chrome extension, Grammarly.

Frozen peas.

My wife bought these heat/cold compresses from her chiropractor, so we've been freezing them and using them.
