Ohh, Baby it's cold out there

I wish I had a camera. I likely wouldn't carry it, since it would most certainly get broken, but there are times when I come across something that is really photogenic. I have an aquarium in my yard that has some water plants in it. This morning the water has frozen solid and the crystals against the glass look beautiful. A few weeks ago I had at least a hundred little finches that settled on a pu88y willow in my yard. They made a crazy musical racket as well, but it still would have been a...

Some very Sad Numbers

Posted 01-03-2014 at 08:47 AM by Fortoggie

The final numbers are in for 2013 and 988 people were killed on Tennessee highways for the year. That number should make us want to have a revolution, to get out on the highways in mass with flags and threats of sending people to the mental institutions but alas it hardly makes a dent in our physic.
By comparison 125 soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in 2013 and of course Tennessee is only one state. About 34,000 were killed in auto crashes nationwide.
What to do? Federal, State and...

Texans Do Well In Their New Head Coach Pick

Posted 01-03-2014 at 06:20 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

When I took time to read the articles on the internet, I couldn't help but applaud the decision that the Houston Texans just made. I truly believe that they have their new head coach tailor-made just for them. Yeah, I said the same thing about Kubiak back in ought-6, but this time, things are much different.

I applaud loudly at the choice of Bill O'Brien as the new head coach of the Texans, who now have the number one pick in the forthcoming NFL Draft. Well,...

Ex and O's

The Ex-when I met her on a forum she didn't post much, when she did, from what I recall, it was kind and supportive. She seemed to have a good sense of humor. I used to flirt all the time, and she never bought into it. That intrigued me. I had to trick her in to talking with me by sending her a picture of a plant she might help me identify. In the back ground was a naked reflection of me. You would have had to study the picture, but I figured if she was curious to see what was reflected sitting...

Going Rate for Snow Shoveling?

What is the going rate in your area for hiring local kids? I'm happy to pay a fair wage, but I don't know what that would be.

Do you usually provide equipment (I have an electric snow shovel + a regular snow shovel)?
