IN CASE YOU MISSED YESTERDAY........

Having worked in customer service for a good many years, I can fully agree with this.

And, they wonder why the U.S. Government is going broke?

I just read that there's an $8 million program that's being used to drop mice..by the thousands...out of airplanes...over Guam so that the mice can kill off the brown tree snakes which are trying to kill off the birds on the island.

Sunday they dropped 2,000 mice, fitted with cardboard parachutes, over the island and by the time the little guys hit the ground they were all dead.

I'm not making this up, folks.

You know what?  I think the Congress is a much bigger threat to the United States than the terrorists ever thought of being.

Snow, sleet, and a little freezing rain around Sioux Falls this morning. More of this ahead... #sdwx #kelowx pic.twitter.com/wIc7CEzbxm

Oh, the weather out west is frightful.  I know Rick and Angela have plenty of warm clothes and they're going to need them.  Temperatures will get down to 5 below in Worland tonight and 17 below tomorrow night.

Rapid City will see light snow all day with blowing snow late this afternoon and into tonight.

What do La Crosse and Dubai have in common?  We both have fog this morning and our fog looks just like their fog.

And, what are you going to do today?

I might drop the children to school, come home & sit naked in the bath with my cheeseboard and bottle of port. #birthday

The weather is lousy in the Texas hill country too.  Donnie reports: 

"Another blast of cold weather late this week.  Arctic air will enter the region on Thursday and usher in a period of much below normal temperatures through mid-month.

The upcoming weekend will be cold and wet.  There's a good chance of rain mixed with freezing rain.

The cold weather safety revolves around the four "P" (s); people, pets, plants and pipes.  In short, people and pets should stay indoors

While the cold outbreak will be of long duration it shouldn't be bad enough to cause pipe bursts but this would be a good time to remove water from hoses and irrigation systems."
   

Hey, did you know that Illinois became a state on December 3, 1818 and the first neon lights were turned on at the Paris Motor Show on December 3, 1910.

HOW DO THEY DO THIS STUFF? 

 

 

I see JAYE P. MORGAN is celebrating her 82nd birthday today.  Only us old guys would remember her.

She was, actually, a pretty good singer but when I hear her name I always think of THE GONG SHOW .  Remember The Gong Show?  J. P. was on the panel of judges.

I suppose you had to have a quirky sense of humor to enjoy The Gong Show.  I must have been really quirky because I loved that show.

 

The Skyrockers are shooting off a few fireworks from atop Grandad Bluff almost every night in December, working their way to the big display on New Years Eve.  Here's the story from WXOW.
