Morning. Left an hour early and just made it in the nick of time. Unlike the fools that should've stayed off the road and ironically are now off the road anyway. No power at the house. Had to take the long way around to avoid the hills. Gonna be a long day. Hoping power comes on before I get home so I have heat. Otherwise I'll have to fire up the dragon's cousin in the living room.

Morning all.
Good job on the EMS incident Rick!
Snowing here this morning after an inch of rain last night. That ought to make a colossal mess. Going to get windy and bitter cold with temps in the single digits until at least Tuesday.
Maybe January will be abnormally mild.
Today is Sunday, December 12th. Only 12 days & 15 hours 'til Christmas.
On this day in 1787 - Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
1792 - In Vienna, 22-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven received one of his first lessons in music composition from Franz Joseph Haydn.
1800 - Washington, DC, was established as the capital of the United States.
1805 - Henry Wells was born in Thetford, VT. He was one of the founders of the American Express Company and he teamed up with William Fargo to form the Wells Fargo Company.
1870 - Joseph H. Rainey of South Carolina became the first black lawmaker to be sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives.
1896 - Guglielmo Marconi gave the first public demonstration of radio at Toynbee Hall, London.
1897 - The comic strip"The Katzenjammer Kids" (Hans and Fritz), by Rudolph Dirks, appeared in the New York Journal for the first time. T-Rad has the original that he cut out of the newspaper if anyone wants to see it!

1901 - The first radio signal to cross the Atlantic was picked up near St. John's Newfoundland, by inventor Guglielmo Marconi.
1917 - Father Edward Flanagan opened Boys Town in Nebraska. The farm village was for wayward boys. In 1979 it was opened to girls.
1925 - The "Motel Inn," the first motel in the world, opened in San Luis Obispo, CA.
1937 - Japanese aircraft sank the U.S. gunboat "Panay" on China's Yangtze River. Japan apologized for the attack, and paid $2.2 million in reparations.
1946 - A United Nations committee voted to accept a six-block tract of Manhattan real estate to be the site of the UN's headquarters. The land was offered as a gift by John D. Rockefeller Jr.
1951 - The U.S. Navy Department announced that the world's first nuclear powered submarine would become the sixth ship to bear the name Nautilus.
1975 - Sara Jane Moore pled guilty to a charge of trying to kill U.S. President Ford in San Francisco the previous September.
1983 - Car bombs were set off in front of the French and U.S. embassies in Kuwait City. Shiite extremists were responsible for the five deaths and 86 wounded. Total of five bombs went off in different locations.
1984 - In a telephone conversation with U.S. President Reagan, William J. Schroeder complained of a delay in his Social Security benefits. Schroeder received a check the following day.
1985 - 248 American soldiers and eight crewmembers were killed when an Arrow Air charter crashed in Gander, Newfoundland after takeoff.
1994 - IBM stopped shipments of personal computers with Intel's flawed Pentium chip.
1995 - The U.S. Senate stopped a constitutional amendment giving Congress authority to outlaw flag burning and other forms of desecration against the American flag.
1997 - The U.S. Justice Department ordered Microsoft to sell its Internet browser separately from its Windows operating system to prevent it from building a monopoly of Web access programs.
1998 - The House Judiciary Committee rejected censure, and approved the final article of impeachment against U.S. President Clinton. The case was submitted to the full House for a verdict.
2000 - The U.S. Supreme Court found that the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court in the 2000 U.S. Presidential election was unconstitutional. U.S. Vice President Al Gore conceded the election to Texas Gov. George W. Bush the next day.
2000 - Timothy McVeigh, over the objections of his lawyers, abandoned his final round of appeals and asked that his execution be set within 120 days. McVeigh was convicted of the April 1995 truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Fedal Building in Oklahoma City, OK, that killed 168 and injured 500.
2002 - North Korea announced that it would reactivate a nuclear power plant that U.S. officials believed was being used to develop weapons.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

Just thinking about trying to get a day trip to Lake Michigan for some viewing before the ice builds up on the shore to block the view. The waves crashing gets mezmerizing. I like to make another trip later in the season to check out the ice stacked on the shore and the build up on the pier and lighthouse (also to see if any goofs are trying to venturew out there).

I drove over the same route yesterday that you do everyday. I don't know how you do that in GOOD weather, let alone this crud we're having today. That's a long ride!
I thought you got a generator?

Should've stayed over. You and Kailey could sit by the wood burner on fire guard or go out snowshoeing. Put a little salt on the hill on the way out, to give Jerry a little traction with his tractor.
