That's the best time to buy! It's the same thing with boats, they drop in price during the winter and go back up in the spring.

I may consider looking for a car, once again. Might not, too.
We are getting a bit of the atmospheric river that has been impacting California. Of course, by the time it gets to Idaho, it has been wrung out by passing over two mountain ranges, so there isn't quite as much moisture, but it helps. I think I'll forgo the skiing for a little while, as cross country in these conditions isn't terrific. It's a bit too warm. In fact, it might rain on the ski hill, which wouldn't be pleasant. Still, I'll be interested to see how the snowpack is doing by the end of this week.
Look what followed me home today...

Seems a bit early. Perhaps the migration started earlier this year?
I'm not yet convinced that I can put the hat away for the summer. Nor have I removed the skis from the car nor the studded tires, either.
You better keep your water wings handy. Here in north/central CA we got a big thunder, wind and rain today. I was worried my house was going to crush a witch when it landed. lol
Well, if it was a large sand witch, that could be a heroic act.
If this rain keeps up you'll need it to be some kind of sub.
Or you could just discuss the flood levels more, which would keep the ark of the conversation going.
I was talking about Gruff the other day with my wife about how he had sent me a copy of Pascal on floppy disc but that it had gotten damaged from the hurricane.
I miss his old/goofy ass.
:rac:
Got sad today when I read about another school shooting. Started thinking about our gun violence problems. A little later I read where six children were killed in a car wreck on Sunday. Man, life can be brutal.
Oddly enough, me too. There was a you tube clip of a racoon being a full on ninja. It made me laugh like a drain and I couldn't help thinking of Gruff.Quote:

Laugh like a drain?
I've never heard that one before.
Chuckle like a gutter. Titter like a trough.
Roar like a run-off
I think it was Jeremy Clarkson who I first heard say "Laugh like a drain". It's one of those odd phrases that doesn't really stand up to close examination but somehow manages to be totally evocative.
(I do like chuckle like a gutter. That one flows well)
Chuckle like a gutter does sound right. I've known streams to laugh (rills, quite often), and drains to gurgle or slurp, but I don't think I've heard a drain laugh.
Had an interesting trip to Costco. Was pulling down a box that was above my head and I smacked me in the side of the face, didn't think much of it. Till I noticed I had blood dripping off my face. I hunted down one of the ladies serving food samples and got some paper towels. Was surprised at the amount of blood. Had to go around Costco holding paper towels to my face. Got a lot of interesting looks from people. lol
Costco? Isn't that where the greeters say "I love you" as you enter the store?
Why? It's Costco, after all. You can only get large quantities of anything there.Quote:
