A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "why the long face"?
Grasshopper No.3 walks into Menards and inquires, "how do you make a hot dog stand"? The attendant says, "you take away his chair"!
How do you get rid of a snowblower (old or new, any size)? Just leave it standing unattended in Sheboygan. It seems that 7-8 snowblowers have been stolen in the last week in that great metropolis. Who would want to steal a snowblower? There is no place left to blow the snow! We lived in Sheboygan for 17 years and I don't remember getting as much snow as they have this year. There a literally "caverns of white".
Mom and I did get invited to Christmas Eve Church services. It was a prelude to a lengthy CD that the Church choir intends to make. Oh yeah, there was a token "service". The best part is we were with cherished family!
And, of course, this first day after Christmas brought more snow. I tackled 3-5 inches more this morning so I could get out of the driveway. My favorite son-in-law says that Worsor (Wausau) up on the tundra was never like this.
The Green Bay Packers play their final game of the 2008 season Sunday in Green Bary. The forecast is for wind and snow. Of course! My prediction is that the Detroit Lions will win. Detroit is in danger of becoming the first team ever to go winless in a season. They will play inspired football. Detroit 20, Packers 17. The stars seem lined up to make it happen.
Grasshopper No.5 has this mercurial fast Mini-Cooper negotiating the streets of Minneapolis. The twin cities have had their share of snow also. When your windshield wipers are broken and your engine overheats, it is time to call your local BMW dealer. The next thing you do is arrange a loan at the local bank to pay for the high quality service. I don't know why I'm kidding about her situation. I have the same "back-up" quality service here in Appleton.
Snuggle with your loved ones. Let the wind blow and the snow fall. Find a really good movie and enjoy. Last night your Mom and I watched "Casablanca" from beginning to end. It was a commitment we made. That is more than I can say for Grasshopper No.1 and hubby who commited to watching "Gone With the Wind" and never made it to the end. Something about complete boredom!
Drive Careful!
Love, Dad
