Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The Mets just scored because the Braves didn't understand the Infield Fly Rule.
Skip Caray had some epic blowups when he was on the Braves radio call-in show and callers repeatedly asked for a definition of the infield fly rule. Eventually he came up with a 30-second explanation that he said very fast.
Somewhere the ghost of Skip Caray is getting in trouble with the FCC again.
I am now wondering if the rented the Roman Centurion costumes from HBO's Rome.
Complete with the manpris?
Suzi! It took me three hours to drive home today. Worst snowstorm I have ever driven through. I've been meaning to write it all up in LJ. I was seriuosly thinkig I might have to visit you guys and stay the night. Although I guess it all melted. But today when I was passing through Lone Tree there were many semis and other trucks just parked slanty on the Interstate. Even with chains they couldn't get up the hill. Of course, no snow where I actually live.

You are always welcome - weather or no. I heard that I-25 was closed south of Lincoln for a while. I was working from home today anyway, so my only driving was across the parking lot to the dojo.
I thi k that closure was when i was sitting there from 11-12:30. It was seriously the craziest road conditions I've ever seen. I was almost rear ended twice and almost run off the road by a snow plow and a semi. Oh, i almost forgot. There was a cop with us who actually turned on his lihts and turned around.
Despite that fact that i was stuck for so long today i actually like the way the weather changes here.
Wow. We just got about two inches of snow and it`s all melted now. Although there is a suspicious noise out there so maybe we`re getting more. I`ve been in bed with a cold all day so I wouldn`t know. Hope it subsides because I`m supposed to sing tomorrow and I teach not to sing on a sore throat!
Snow!
One of the school districts in Big Bear had a snow day yesterday (Rim of the World Unified School District...great name).
I made rhubarb-strawberry jam. I haven't had rhubarb since I was a kid. But I saw a few stalks at the Farmer's Market that pinged me with a "hmmm...." then more were at the grocery store (shock! the ringer didn't even know what it was!). And now the jars are processing. Only 2 1/2 pints worth which is still plenty.
That sounds very nommy Kat.
I had some cool shit happen at my house while I was at work. We were planning to rent a rototiller to smooth out the back part of our backyard this weekend. It had a dead orange tree, surrounded by concrete. We broke up the concrete last year and J and his bro took out the tree over Christmas. Since then has been uneven and covered in weeds.
J did research on renting a rototiller and it was gonna be about $150 plus gas for two days. He ALSO found a guy called, interestingly, "Rototiller Guy" who will come and bring a crew and do all the rototilling for you. Cost of this? $200. They came this morning and did the whole thing. Tomorrow, we put in some raised beds and plant us some veggies!
We realized that the area we had done is 500 sq. feet, which is bigger than the apartment we lived in in NYC for 8 years.

I drove by that school on my way to go skiing a few weeks ago. Amazing view!
