"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Mother Nature having mood swings again? Maybe it's menopause.

P.S. Well what do you know? It got down to 28 here in the coldest part of the night, but it's headed back up before sunrise.

And a winter weather advisory just came out. That's okay, I have a 54" wide snowplow on my 48" ATV. It's wide enough to clear a path in front of my wheels, and narrow enough to fit down my 60" sidewalk. I need to see what the fuss is all about, and whether I should even bother getting out of bed for a few days.

Got up into the mid-70's in Tulsa at my son's where we were for Christmas.  Out here in the Ozarks we hit 69.  It is supposed to be 74 here today...but come Monday (that sounds like a song title) our high will be 36 on a 24 low.

it's 19 degrees in upstate peoples republic of New Yorkistan with a winter storm that's supposed to drop 6-12 inches of the evil white stuff. Not my idea of a fun time. >:(

It's supposed to get below freezing tonight, cloudy for a couple days, an inch of snow Monday, then cloudy or partly cloudy for a week, and a chance of snow for a few days after that. Good hibernating weather.

There used to be a joke a long time ago that went like this: What do you call Summer in Michigan? Three months of bad snowmobiling. Now, most years, 90% of the people in the state can't find enough snow to ride on in the middle of winter without driving north at least a few hours. Global warming isn't real, but the globe is warming.
