Brrrr! & Redneck lawn deer redux
Colder than a well digger's hind end today. ... I think I heard one of the TV weatherdudes mention snow in the forecast ... Winds in the 40s out of the northwest.
I love it! Sounds like a norther' is coming through! Ha, ha! Not the Finnish death metal band! Ha, ha. I mean a dadgum BLUE norther!
Bring it on!!!

As to the redneck deer light show, that was made by my sister and brother in law in Minneapolis, Minnesota last year. The funniest thing is that neither one of them hunt and are pretty vegetarian. It's certainly making the internet rounds so if you want to give him credit, you can credit it to C. Robinson, Minneapolis, MN
Consider it done, Libby!

Quitcher bitchin'! Sheesh, folks in this neck o the woods get all frigid when it gets ... somewhat frigid.
Truth is, tain't that freakin' cold. Yet! O' course, it's windier than tornado season, and that combined with the brisk temps makes for bein' colder than a witch's booby in a brass bra. Outcheer in No Man's Land, we're still gettin' Nebraska's snow from yestidy.
Hadda laugh yestiday. Church in Amarillo canceled its evenin' plans 'cause of the snow. One inch accumulation. Texas woosies. :-)
I like winter. Wind, though, can take a freakin' hike. Grew up with it, worked in it, have dealt with it considerably. Still don't like it. Does make me laugh when watchin' golf on TV when they talk about them millionaires strugglin' with 15-mph gusts. Outcheer, 15-mph gusts is a slight breeze.
Nonetheless (Oops, that ain't much much of a rednecky word), I'm headin' to Vegas in a coupla days and hopin' to get a reprieve from the wintry conditions we've suffered through for the last two days -- Twas 65 degrees Saturday, ya know. :-)

"Bring it on!!!"?? Well, bring it to your side of the City, maybe, but leave my side in the sunshine! Now that hurricane season is over, Florida is starting to look very appealing to this traveling nurse. It's time to follow the sun. :)
No way! Give me snow, sleet, wind and gloom of nigth! It's bracing! (And it makes Mr. Dickel seem that much more appealing.)
It would take a lot more than bad weather to make Mr. Dickel appealing. (Man, I hope we're still talking about the whiskey.) ;)
Give me Captain Morgan and a gentle, tropical night rain any time!

Blue norther, these are the things where you are not ready for them and the temperature simply drops off the bottom of the scale. Hobbs, New Mexico was hit by one in the 1960s. Went from the upper 90's to upper 20's in ten minutes. Because glass is a liquid and shrinks faster than a solid, all of the plate glass windows in town shrunk so fast that they fell out of their metal frames and crashed on the sidewalks.
When it is that cold, give me hot chocolate laced with Bailey's Irish Creame. I want to be mellowed down, not knocked out.

MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, The Capt. Never had much of The Capt. until two years ago, when I ventured to K.C. for a Chiefs game. Blustery is a nice word for it. Freakin' cold would be a better phrase.
So we snuck in a plastic bottle of The Capt. They had toddies for sale, a drip of peppermint schnapps in hot chocolate. $5.50 for that.
But with The Capt., we paid $1.50 for the hot chocolate and laced it rather heavily with the liquor. Though temps were in the teens and the wind chill was in the single digits, we were all rather warm.
Rather warm as in, thankfully I recorded the game and actually watched it to recall what happened in the second half. That's rather warm. :-)
