A TEXAS AUTUMN

ANOTHER NICE PHOTO
FROM DONNIE


IT'S FASCINATING TO WATCH A GREAT ARTIST WORK

THIS IS AGNES CECILE
ROME, ITALY

EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MOTHER NATURE

DONNIE WRITES
"Wettest weather we have seen in more than a year.  It's been raining steady for 24 hours.  Not heavy (the creeks aren't even flowing yet) but sustained drizzles and light showers.  It's perfect for resuscitating foliage."

POOH DAY

LETS HAVE A REDNECK CHRISTMAS!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
EXCEPT THE ONE
WHERE YOU'RE NAKED
IN CHURCH

A STAR IS BORN

This is 10 year old Angie Vazquez and her family band from Mexico.  YES!  I SAID 10 YEARS OLD!

These kids posted their video on You Tube and have had over a million hits in less than a week.  Take my word, she's gonna give Justin a run for his money!!


WONDER IF RICK AND ANGELA HAVE A FIREPLACE?

This will be a good weekend for them to throw a few logs on the fire.  Wyoming is set for some really strong blasts of Arctic air.  Along with some snow, some parts of the state will see 20 below zero temperatures by Monday morning.  Around Worland it will drop to about 4 below tomorrow night.  Rapid City will drop to 9 above by Monday morning.

I hope they aren't planning on any overnight camping in a tent!

SNOW

We may get a little snow this morning but you'll have to head west for a LOT of snow.  Snowflake, Arizona would be a good place to go.  They have 15 inches of snowflakes on the ground right now.

GEORGE McGOVERN: GET WELL SOON!

Sorry to hear that George McGovern took a nasty fall, last evening, as he was walking to the library in Mitchell for an interview with C-SPAN.  He was flown, by helicopter, to Sioux Falls for treatment.  He remains in the hospital this morning. 

A NASTY DAY

Travel difficulties were reported in southeast Minnesota, northeast Iowa and western Wisconsin, early this morning, as a result of ice glazing.  4 to 7 inches of snow could fall late this afternoon and evening over northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota and north central Wisconsin.

I THOUGHT OF MOTHER WHEN I SAW THIS RECIPE

She used to make the best BBQ chicken wings.  Here is a recipe for HONEY LIME CHICKEN WINGS
that sure looks good.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ADVISES:

Accumulating snow will fall from late this afternoon through the evening.

JUST CAUGHT A FUNNY TWEET

It was from Minneapolis and the Tweeter said that police were directing traffic on 50th Street in south Minneapolis around Mt. Olivet Church.  What was causing the traffic congestion?  I kid you not.  They're having a lutefisk dinner. Those Norwegians always know where to find a stinky fish.

THE LAST TIME IT SNOWED??

I couldn't remember when our last big snowfall was so I did a search in my email and it was April 26 that Roger sent this photo of winters last hurrah.

READY AS I'LL EVER BE

I've got them out and they're sitting by the front door.

PLEASE DRIVE WITH CARE

A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are caused by people who drink bottled water, starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks and junk like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

TALK ABOUT A "QUICKIE"!!

I hear a lot about celebrity break-ups today.  A little research, however, shows that this new crop of bimbos can't hold a candle to the real stars of days gone by.

If you want to read about a real short, quickie marriage you'll have to go all the way back to 1919.  That's the year that Rudolph Valentino and Jean Acker were married and divorced within a period of SIX HOURS!  Probably not the best example of the "sanctity of marriage".
