Was the terrifying part the other drivers?
Oh, there were zero drivers (other than the Sherrif deputies). I had just never seen snow so thick and windy to where I could only see a couple of feet in front of me before.
Boy did I have a fun afternoon. I had to setup a new router because my old one went bad. It was suppose to come with the same Name and password but it didn't. I had gotten a new router from ATT before and it went smooth but this one wasn't setup properly. The tech support guy I got said he couldn't reset the name and password even though the day before they said they could. Kept aski9ng me for the Name and Password from the sticker on the new box but there wasn't a sticker. That stumped him. Anyway I found a way to reset it myself but because of my sloppy handwriting I mistook a q for as g and had to do it twice. Then my phone line wasn't working (it goes thru the router). The tech said I had a bad cable and there wasn't anything he could do. I went to replace the cable and found that there was a piece plastic film in the jack.
I need a nap. lol
Remove film before use.
Late but useful advise.Quote:

I forget what it was, but I remember that I had some piece of computer equipment for several years before I realized that there was a film covering part of it that could be removed.Quote:

I still have my mom’s AC/DC money talks dollar. She went to their show, pregnant with me, and some big dude bumped her to get some of the money. A security guard saw, kicked him out, and gave her the dollar.
The longevity of some bands amazes me. I think Angus Young is still playing and he's 70. I guess that's young if you compared it to some of guys still playing.
well, it's young, of course, Angus Young.Quote:

One thing is consistent: It will be a bad fire year....as it always is.
If we have a dry winter, then we go into the summer extra dry, which results in a bad fire year.
If we have a wet winter, then more fuel builds up in the spring, which results in a bad fire year.
I don't know whether I have heard anybody specifically state that every year will be worse than average for fire, but it sure feels like every year I hear that it will be worse than average. Of course, that isn't possible, so perhaps people are using more precise language. I do see that fire officials are saying that we have greater potential for significant fires this year. That is sufficiently precise to be true and sufficiently imprecise (greater than what?) to allow that EVERY year has greater potential out here.
Shutdown over 100 degrees? -shouts obnoxiously- WEAAAAAK!Quote:
The ancient temple in Athens draws millions of visitors each year. But authorities were forced to close it off to protect tourists and workers from extreme heat.Greek authorities closed the Acropolis for Tuesday afternoon to protect workers and tourists during a four-day heat wave.
Temperatures were expected to reach up to 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) in Athens.
Greece is dealing with another pretty bad fire season. Though I don't think they are close to Athens.
I thought 100 degree temps this time of year was fairly normal this time of year.
This time of year they are here this time of year.
:D

Yeah, the Germans are in the Everglades and the Greeks are there...or somewhere.
I could believe that they often don't get quite that hot. They're by the sea, which might keep it a bit cooler. Sapator should be weighing in on that, and since he hasn't, he's either on vacation or he melted.
