Good Morning! We got a bit of the white stuff around here this weekend! I was fortunate enough to have to work during it.
Yes, it is indeed a sense of sarcasm that you detect in the sound of my voice.
Anyway, wasn’t much of a snow as is evidenced by my little friend in our back yard. But, surprisingly…or not so surprisingly, depending on how you look at it… there were a whole crap load of slide offs on the highway. It is amazing to me how some people tend to loose brain cells in an inverse-ratio as snow flakes falling to the ground. The less snow, the more brain cells seem to disappear.
Ah well…. a wiser man than me once said, never underestimate the power of human stupidity. And with that in mind…… 
Let’s Laugh!
Thanks to Lynn for this one:
It’s got everything you ever wanted to know about snow. More specifically, it’s all about snow crystals.
There are dozens of close-up snow crystal pictures. You’ll be in awe of how beautiful they are. And there are both natural and designer versions shown.
But that’s not all. The site also explains how snow crystals form. And it deals with some common questions about snow crystals. For example, are no two snowflakes really alike?
If the pictures inspire you to grab your camera, don’t worry. There is even a section on taking your own snow crystal pictures. And it tells you how to make your own snow crystals.

IF OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY WANTS TO KEEP CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS SECRET, THEY SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE SAME PLACE THAT OBAMA’S COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS AND BIRTH CERTIFICATE ARE KEPT.
One of my Dad’s retired friends spends nine months a year in Idaho and goes to Florida for the winter. One year, while he was in Florida, he got a call from the police. His neighbor in Idaho, who had a key, had entered his home to check that everything was okay with the house. The house was a shambles and he called the police to report a burglary.
The police officer reported, “The house appears to have been ransacked.”
My Dad’s friend immediately bought a plane ticket and flew 2600 miles home to discover that the house looked exactly the way they left it.
During a conference, I was pleasantly surprised to be seated next to a very handsome man. We flirted casually through dinner, then grew restless as the dignitaries gave speeches.
During one particularly long-winded lecture, my new friend drew a # sign on a cocktail napkin. Excited, I wrote down my phone number.
Looking startled for a moment, he flipped the napkin over and drew another # sign, this time adding an X to the upper-left-hand corner.
Eager to make her mark in the world of business, the attractive new MBA took a job as executive assistant to the middle aged owner of a fast-growing computer software company.
She found the work challenging and the travel interesting, but was extremely annoyed by her boss’s tendency to treat her in public as though she were his girlfriend rather than a professional associate.
This was especially irritating in restaurants, where he would insist on ordering for her, and on calling her “dearest” or “darling” within earshot of the waiters.
When she told him how much it bothered her, he promised to stop, but the patronizing behavior continued.
Finally, as he led her into a four-star restaurant, she took matters into her own hands.
“Where would you like to sit, sweetheart?” he asked, with a wink at the maitre’d. “Gee,” she replied, “anywhere you say, Dad.”
A husband and wife had a human cannonball act in the circus. One day the wife ran off with the lion tamer. The husband was extremely dejected. The strong man asked him what he was going to do.
“This is a disaster,” the husband answered. I don’t know where I’m going to find another woman of her caliber.”
Here’s an idea worth strongly considering:

I’d be curious to hear what some of you campers have to say about this. I think Google is a good company doing some great things on line….but some of the stuff I saw on this video made me think twice about how I feel…..

I love this one…so much in the spirit of the season.
My own little Izzy playing coy with Santa. Don’t let her fool you old man, she’s picking your pocket while you aren’t paying attention….and her minions are outside, right now, stripping down your sleigh and making reindeer jerky while she stays inside and keeps you busy!
I’ve got to add this to my Christmas list. I wonder if I still have time…

Christmas Story
A little boy returned from Sunday school with a new perspective on the Christmas story. He had learned all about the Wise Men from the East who brought gifts to the Baby Jesus. He was so excited he could hardly wait to tell his parents.
As soon as he arrived home, he immediately began, “I learned all about the very first Christmas in Sunday school today! There wasn’t a Santa Claus way back then, so these three skinny guys on camels had to deliver all the toys!
“And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright wasn’t there yet, so they had to have this big spotlight in the sky to find their way around!”
