Now it's down to just a few inches projected (like we might get in a storm once every five years or so) which we can deal with... unless the rest is frozen rain. Will be interesting to see where this roulette wheel of forecasts stops on Saturday.

Hi-Wire Brewing's 10W-40 Mexican Hot Chocolate. Really good with just the right heat.

Me and my sister used to have them a lot. And my son did starting very young and repeatedly. I hope you find something that works! (For us it was eventually getting tubes in. and I don't remember if I ever had any after that (certainly not many) - although back then they commonly took the...

It feels like it's rare to find Phil Harris (Little John and Baloo) playing something where he isn't pretty close to his persona on the Jack Benny Show or Phil Harris & Alice Faye radio shows (well, there is much less alcohol in his Disney roles I guess).

My other half - like much of England and apparently almost all US presidents - is descended from King John (whom the Disney film dubbed "The Phony King of England"). I'm a huge fan of the Disney movie (see my avatar), and it was a bit horrifying how much worse my wife's 23G Grandfather was...
