fiogf49gjkf0d Some doubted the groundhog back in February
To some it's sunny but your weather may vary
And it's now officially Spring
Realizing what that will bring
The yard work and many heavy things to carry

fiogf49gjkf0d Wonderful to hear - I'm currently in So. Cal for the weekend and it is near 80, this is summer weather, I would rather be up North even with the sneezing. Hey Dino Flintstone, where abouts are your parents, mine are in Sonora - also the foothill of the SN.

fiogf49gjkf0d Here in South Central PA, we got the last of the Alberta Clipper that breezed through the land of Tim. We only received a coating on the ground, the rest is in the form of rain. My parents, living in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas "above the fog, below the snow" (only 30 miles from the land of Grapevine Girl) are basking in the sun with highs of 68 today, and 71 tomorrow. Man I miss that California weather.

fiogf49gjkf0d Yep, it started Friday afternoon, continued thru the night, woke up to 6 to 8 inches of snow on the ground. Now, the problem is, the neighbor across the street the one with the snow blower, went out of town. He asked me to watch the place. I thought I would have been joking if I asked him to put his snowblower in my garage, so I could clear the Easter snowstorm before he got home. You know, kinda like a magical talisman, if it is available, it won't be needed. staR!

fiogf49gjkf0d Back to topic. The early spring weather in Northern NJ is unremarkable, certainly not as provocative as Northern California. :-) Slightly chilly and a little bit gusty but with no chance of an Easter snow.
Happy Easter to all to whom it applies!

Beautiful, ACHOO! Sorry, getting warmer, ACHOO! Sorry, but oh well it's time to take the allergy...ACHOO! Medicine. Happy Good Friday!!!

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, I was out in the yard, looking like a crazy man. 34 degrees and I'm raking the back lawn then overseeding it with a mix of lawn seed and fertilizer. But with the snow that is forcast for this afternoon/tonight, that would be that seed under a layer of snow. When melting comes next week, it might work into the soil when the lawn would be way to soft for me to stand on. We might get temperatures of near 50 degrees in about a week.

fiogf49gjkf0d Spring Surprise! That's one of our specialties. When you pop it in your mouth, stainless steel bolts spring out and pierce both cheeks. "Where's the fun in that?" Well, watching, of course! (A Secret Policemen's Ball line as well as Python. Just criminal. Call the Church Police. They should be out in force on Good Friday.)

fiogf49gjkf0d (A man sitting behind a desk in a Harley Street consulting room. Close-up of the name plate on desk in front of him. Although the camera does not reveal this for a moment, this name plate, about two inches high, continues all along the desk, off the side of it at the same height and halfway round the room. We start to track along this name plate on which is written: 'Professor Sir Adrian Furrows F.R.S. F.R.C.S. F.R.C.P. M.D.M.S. (Oxon), Mall Ph.D., M. Se. (Cantab), Ph.D. (Syd), ER.G.S., F.R.C.O.G., F. FM.R.C.S., M.S. (Birm), M.S. (Liv), M.S. (Guadalahara), M.S. (Karach), M.S. (Edin), B.A. (Chic), B. Litt. (Phil), D. Litt (Phil), D. Litt (Arthur and Lucy), D. Litt (Ottawa), D. Litt (All other places in Canada except Medicine Hat, B. Sc. 9 Brussels, Liege, Antwerp, Asse, (and Grower) '. There is a knock on the door.)
Specialist: Come in.
(The door opens and Raymond Luxury Yacht enters. He cannot walk straight to the desk as his passage is barred by the strip of wood carrying the degrees, but he discovers the special hinged part of it that opens like a door. Mr Luxury Yacht has his enormous polystyrene nose. It is a foot long.)
Specialist: Ah! Mr Luxury Yacht. Do sit down, please.

fiogf49gjkf0d I did! In 1952!

|
fiogf49gjkf0d And when didn't you start contradicting them?
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d Yes I do!
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d Ssh......I understand you don't contradict people.
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d No you won't.
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d Oh, I see. I'll start again.
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d I most certainly did not!
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d But you...you told me that you did.
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d I don't!

fiogf49gjkf0d With me now is Norman St. John Polevaulter, who for the last few years has been contradicting people. St. John Polevaulter, why do you contradict people?
"It's believed that that some 'varks escape their shipping crates shortly after leaving the factory in Kuala Lumpur. It would seem their sensitive snouts can't stand the smell of the belly button lint they use as packing material.
My driveway 'varks have recently unfrozen because of the ungodly amount of flooding we've had and are roaming about snagging robins with their long sticky tongues. Apparently, robins taste like chicken. This sort of thing is very useful for keeping the bird crap off my car. "

>>On another note... while sitting outside today doing nothing, I noticed my driveway still needs repaired... now where are those Asphalt Aardvarks I ordered? Oh well, let's have another beer.

fiogf49gjkf0d I lived in S. Fla. back in the late 1970's for a few years. I believe it was on Jan. 19th, 1977, it snowed that morning in Ft. Lauderdale. I was living just to the west of there in Sunrise. Very rare event indeed!
Most of the time the weather was way too hot & humid for me. In 1979, I moved to So. Cal. Much nicer weather, except for the smog.
"Here in South Florida it was like 80 something degrees with 90% humidity which equals Hot and muggy. I would love just 1 week of 60 degree weather here."

fiogf49gjkf0d Tell you what..... You come up here and live in southern Ontario for the next four weeks and I'll gladly take your place.
Now there's an offer you can't pass up.

fiogf49gjkf0d what's Spring?

fiogf49gjkf0d Gee guys, I don't know...
It was a pleasant 68 degrees with sunshine here in Nebraska today. I've been sitting on my front porch swing drinking beer all day. ...just came in 'cause it's getting dark.
I wouldn't call that global warming, and I certainly wouldn't call it an ice-age either. I guess I'd call it.... normal.
On another note... while sitting outside today doing nothing, I noticed my driveway still needs repaired... now where are those Asphalt Aardvarks I ordered? Oh well, let's have another beer.

fiogf49gjkf0d Yep, that global warming is big bunch of B.S. We are actually heading into an Ice Age - www.iceagenow.com/
|
|
|
fiogf49gjkf0d So today is the first day of spring, eh???? As the afternoon wore on, the temperature got lower and the weather reports say it's going to continue at least for another month before it gets much warmer.
Anybody who even tries to engage me in a discussion about global warming is taking his life into his own hands.
