Gray is the new gray

Not that I'm a super big fan of Wal-Mart in the first place but I find it detestable (man does that word look messed up) that they not only throw out unsold cloths but they slash the clothes so no one else can wear them if they are rummaging through the trash bins. Geez - why not donate the clothes to people that can not afford Wal-Mart?
--------------------------------

Total storm tot's were 7.5 inches and be prepared to the Arctic Express. The sun will bring cold and as the wind scrapes away the clouds today it will usher in cold. HOWEVER - relative warmth is on the way. We COULD hit 30 by the end of next week - WHOO HOO!!!

In case you are wondering the golfing conditions are "0 Very Poor". So put away the clubs for another week. Just be glad you are not in Maui because it is going to get COLD there and drop to 79 for a high late next week, I would NOT want to be there!.
-----------------------------

There is a woman here that is driving me NUTS. She laughs like she is going to seriously pee her pants. No! really!, grab your stomach tears coming out the eyes laughing. Should I slap her? Maybe she is having a stroke or something. Everyday it happens. I want to taze her, could I get in trouble?

In 1970 a rookie pitcher pitching for the Minnesota Twins by the name of Burt Blyleven pitched his first game and after the game I told my mom to remember his name because he was going to be voted into the hall of fame at some point.

Year after year he has missed getting into the Hall of Fame. He is like the Susan Lucci of baseball. He has been nominated 13 times but has never won. This year he received 400 votes, 405 are needed. COME ON MAN!!! I promised my mom!

------------------------------

I've been told that some people do not like the idea of tree's in the main street area of Columbus because they are so ugly in the winter. I flat out totally 100% disagreed but came short of saying that was the dumbest thing I have ever heard (being a politically correct sort of guy).

I say this because driving home last night the trees were so amazing. I really wanted to take a walk in golf course and shoot some photos but the snow was pretty deep. It would be nice to have show shoes but man, $170 for cheap ones? Do they sell used show shoes? I do need them to get to my bird feeder now. And I could have used them when out Sat Dish filled up with snow and I had to take my special made broom out to wipe it off.

We have been letting Blake out the front door for his poopy and pee times (poop really flies when it is scooped up in a snow blower) and last night we let him out and I look out the window 5 minutes later and there he is walking up the hill in the street taking himself for a walk-a-bout. hmmmm - we'll have to try to out think yet another animal.

Thanks Todd for the good read Favre vs. Rogers from a Favre fan.

------------------------------

I have to ask - it seemed like such a good idea at the time. How did everybody like the pap smear for Christmas idea. Did it go over well?

1 hour later.

I got side tracked with Color Management problems between LCD computers and printers so the blog came to an abrupt end. Color Management was so easy in the OLD days with film. Now digital you have web color, multiple printer colors, LCD color, and 50 ways to fix things for each one. grrrrrrrr

OK - work

have a weekend - GO PACKERS!!!

  3. OH - you can throw your voice? that was you. WOW - amazing. It's like when the phone rings and everyone goes running to their phones in the opposite direction.

    I call people just to watch them run run.

    Is that mine? OUT OF THE WAY. and then it's 5 cubes over in the OTHER direction.

  9. not taking the "big store's" side but I know first hand they used to donate clothes and some unscrupulous people would bring the free clothes back and try to get cash for them......I think some stores stil donate some things but have to cut out all the tags and any id that they have (not sure it works for tagless stuff) I know they donate pet stuff that's damaged or opened.

    not that the "big store" does anyone any favors but not some of the things people try to do just because it's a big corporation.....there is a poem somewhere that a woman took her exhusband back to that store for a refund because they would take back anything!!! (they used to, but no more)
