A co-worker and I had gone fishing one day. On the way home he saw a "Goats 4 Sale - CHEAP" sign and had me follow the arrow to the farm. I didn't have a pen on the truck and the only way we could transport them back to his place was to hog tie them and put'em in the bed of the truck. As we were driving back thru the northern edge of Houston the goats were really "crying" to get out of the truck. When two panhandlers approached the truck the goats were getting louder and sounding like a couple kids or women crying. The panhandlers eyes got as big as saucers and they slowly started backing away from the truck. They never turned their backs toward us and folks in the other cars around us were looking on, trying to figure out what was going on. When the light turned green we only advanced four or five spaces and had to wait again for the light. My co-worker had realized what was going on and handed me a couple $20's to offer the panhandlers. I started calling over to them waving the bills. They picked up their worldly possessions and ran away from the intersection. We were off again the next day so we headed back to the same intersection to see if they were there. Sure enough, there they were until I blew the truck horn and waved at them to come over. I never saw them at that intersection again.
 
You will have more than snow to worry about if that Chinese space station falls on you!
Due to come in over Easter weekend perhaps in the tropics but no one seems sure.
NASA has a website with updates on the re-entry track.
 
I saw an item about that space station on a science channel last night.
Where I am is not in the expected path so I put the umbrella away BGRIN
I also learned that a huge asteroid may hit earth in 2135.
 
With the coming of finer weather I see that we're about to be subjected to the annual ripoff in gas prices.
Prices are slowly rising although the price of oil remains low and fairly stable.
Canadian motorists are being warned to expect higher prices as the summer driving season closes in.
The oil companies have us over the proverbial oil barrel and there isn't anything we can do about the injustice - except to not buy.

Oh well, at least the Chinese space station burned up and bits crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
 
Rocky, ours jumped 8 cent/L last week. That's ridiculous. Supposed to take another hike with our new budget(11 Cent/L), and that's not including the new "Carbon Tax" that's yet to be imposed on us.
