I did not know that. And by the way, I did more than heat up the air. I made it smell different too.
If you think back not too long, we didn't change til April, either. That was part of the bill banning the cheap (effective, non-UV-light-emitting) light bulbs.

Evening all.
Watching the second installment of the History Channels " The Bible"..
not too impressed so far. They are not realy showing any depth to the stories they have selected to tell, although I do give them credit for airing it in teh first place.

Bark, you mention that NASCAR isn't that big up there. DW and I are NASCAR fans BUT we often joke that if NASCAR drivers want to prove how good they are, come up here when an Alberta Clipper is blowing through or when there is 2 ft of snow, 4 ft drifts and 70mph wind blowing monster drifts across the road and lets see who can get through 60 miles of Alberta back roads the best...

You are probably in a similar situation.

Or plow off a lake and put them on the ice.

The truck series is going to Eldora (1/2 mile dirt track) this summer, so maybe we'll see the other series on dirt at some point.

I think it doesn't hurt that Eldora is owned by Tony Stewart. Wonder what it took him to get them there.

Bob, here's a little gadget that would make eradicating those winged Phlebotomists a little more entertaining. There's cheaper ones available.

Bark, that's tough to give you a straight, black or white answer. The best I can do is this. I have fewer stressors now than I used to but the ones I do have individually stress me more. Any given day could be better or worse depending on what, or who, stuck their head up. Catch me on the wrong day and they may feel like the mole in the whack-a-mole game.

Same here, looking. I see lots of stuff on the road I'd like to get a pic of but I'm passed it before I even think to grab the phone.

Evening all. Drove through a frog choker to get here but we made it.

Yeah, its different. We used to have races at the Ice Palace and for $10 bucks anybody could race. I had a 63 rambler that was a blast to drive on the ice.

Seems to be pretty good now, thank God! Got to make an appointment with the regular dentist for a crown now and hopefully that will be the end of this story.
