First of all - all you guys out in LA reading this blog - toss me a bone here - I'm dieing. Yet another Public Enemies challenged blog. How's editing going????

I fear I will get silence in return :-(
=============================
November is my favorite month to hate. It's dark, cold, gray and rainy. nothing pretty at all to look at.

The latest NWS prediction is calling for a warmer winter here in Wisconsin. Meaning more rain but being a 25 mile commuter I'll take it. When I moved to Columbus coworkers said I would hate the drive in every day. I actually LOVE the drive in every day. It's a beautiful drive to Madison and DJ and I have no problem.

HOWEVER - We did not count on so many snow days. I was looking at my records and the first snow came on December 2nd with 5.1 inches of snow and it was only the beginning. Here are the snow days with more then 1 inch of snow for the winter 2007/08

12/02/07 = 5.1 inches
12/05/07 = 6.6
12/07/07 = 2.7
12/11/07 = 1.1
12/12/07 = 5.1
12/16/07 = 3.1
12/23/07 = 1.0
12/24/07 = 3.0
12/27/07 = 1.1
12/29/07 = 7.3
01/11/08 = 2.2
01/13/08 = 1.4
01/18/08 = 2.8
01/22/08 = 8.5
01/26/08 = 1.8
01/30/08 = 1.5
02/01/08 = 2.2
02/02/08 = 2.0

03/22/08 = 10.2

Thirty days of snow - that is a MONTH OF SNOW DAYS!!! I tell ya - people were getting a LITTLE cranky and thank goodness Universal Studios decided to use Columbus for the movie because THAT was a rough winter and there really needed to be something good happening in the spring.

Still on the weather topic - it seems Hurricane and Tropical storms are at a 30 year low and scientists are now saying that the amount of severe weather has nothing to do with global warming at all. There is no correlation.

And speaking of being wrong. All of the hand wringing about gas being $6.00 a gallon was wrong also. It SEEMS there is a good chance we will be seeing gas in the $1.50-$1.70 a gallon range before the year is out. Lots of panic selling of oil futures as all of those guys that ran UP the price of gas are now losing their ass and dumping it as fast as possible.

We're looking at a good 90 days of cheap gas. Remember - when everyone is crying wolf saying things are going to hell it's normally at the apex and things will get better (and vice versa).

Just call me Spine Breeder Palin!

That would be my name if I was a Sarah Palin child - check out this Sarah Palin Baby Name Generator
=========================
I had a meeting last night to talk about the new Sharrow Drug web presence - I was more of a consultant but the point I'm getting at is the meeting was at The Bell in South Beaver Dam. It was the first time I had ever been to that little country bar and I tell ya - I had the best bar burger I have had in a long long time.

It's on County "D" - check it out sometime - they offer all the macro swill beer along with Spotted Cow on tap and I tried Bud's American Ale for the first time. Not really excited about it but I would drink it before any other macro beer. It had a faint flavor.

And while I'm on beer. If the refrigerator guy is reading this he can stop over anytime the next couple nights to swap out whatever he needs to swap out. Also - that frig is going to be SWEET!!! I'm brewing a Scottish 80/- and I read that they need to be cold conditioned for a month after it carbs up. It'll work out great.

I can't do an actual lager as I would need something to put a 6 gallon carboy in but this will work out great for cold conditioning 48 bottles of Scottish Ale.

and another thing - I've been getting some requests for brew. If you would like a case I need a couple months to brew it. 3 weeks of fermentating and 4 weeks of conditioning.

=============================
The Kurth.

I miss you guys! Just thinking out loud here. How about making the 1st Wednesday and the 3rd Friday of the month a Kurth meeting time. Just to catch up on things.
==============================

Amazing Race results

DJ picked Kelly and Christy perfectly and had a "0" point week to propel her into 1st place tie with Jenny. However, there is trouble a brewing.

Mark is lurking in 3rd place 1 point behind AND still has 4 of his top 5 picks active. HOWEVER - before he gets too cocky Toni and Dallas are still in the race and he picked them to go out a LONG time ago.

DJ = 13
Jenny = 13
Mark = 14
Colette = 15
Andy = 18
Rod = 18
===================================

November

Rain,
On the window, on the eaves,
On the sodden autumn leaves,
Sound of rain.

Heavy skies.
Somberly the world at dawn,
Wakes to find that summer's gone
And cries.
