Yesterday morning I did "speed shopping" for the meal, including a 21 lb. bird. When I got to work last night, I was greeted by a large sign on the time clock, "All employees that are working Thanksgiving will be treated to a holiday meal with all the trimmings courtesy of the deli and the store director." While this is great...what am I now supposed to do with that much turkey for two people??????

They make great trebuchet loads......

Oh No! That same weather front that hit you guys a day or two ago is arriving in Colorado at the moment....considerably weakened I think for it's trip.

these have been some amazing storms! almost up to Boulder wind storm capacity! and considering that the root structure of the trees here is virtually non-existent since the water is so plentiful, you can imagine the damage potential! and PAC NW windstorms ALWAYS have rain involved!

It is one storm right after another. The doggie has gotten soaked all week during her walks. Most of the lower mainland and Vancouver Island have had floods.

I thought it must be that evil GraceKrispy flapping, what is left of, her wings in Hawiaii using the butterfly effect penguin effect to create all of these pineapple expresses, but this storm is too cold so it may have come in from the Northern Pacific/Alaska.

It looks like another storm is right behind it.

Hey, do as every Canadian does when something bad happens. Blame it on Quebec.

If the prevailing winds and jetstream blew from east to west I could blame it on one certain individual from Quebec.

Yup. And I just got another. Are these folk seeing the 'fiction' heading? Are they assuming that I'm doing a really long foreword with bad formattiing? Gah!

Maybe not the weather but a recent earthquake could be traced to an overindulgence of maple flavored bean dip, guess where?

Now I'll have to get my niece to translate. (She has a degree in Latin. Mine is in Molecular Biology....)
