Good morning Bob, no breakfast yet but a coffee has nearly been consumed. Working from home today and at some point I'll be firing up Darth Smoker; I have a chicken to cook! Also, it seems like it has been snowing for weeks. It just keeps coming down!

Funny isn't it that it never snows up.

Our 5" snow was gone after it hit 50F the two following days.

Well, sometimes it does go sideways ;-)

Good evening, Bob!

Are you saying you go for quality over quantity because of my slacking? I guess I'll have to get my butt over in here more often to off-set that, then!

It helps keep my mind sharp, or at least a bit sharper.

Umm... Let's let that one slide and pretend we're still friends, shall we

Good comment, but I can't bring myself to "like" it

You hang out too much with Canadians

But hey, spell it the way you like (I'm feeling generous today) - it's not my language

Wait...

I almost forgot to be insulted! I'm sure Charlie (if not Bert) has taught you how to make an apology, right?

You don’t like snow?

How un-Norwegian of you.

Had a great laugh when I was paying for my Pork and chicken Dumplings, (gyoza or Man du depending on whether you are thinking Japanese or Korean,) at trader Joe's and when my card was approved for my purchase, instead of the annoying Beeping that the card reader gives out when you are to remove your debit or credit card, it made a turkey gobbling noise. I just laughed out loud!

"Don't like" is a very mild way to put it, Mr. Racer... No, as I have stated before, I live here despite winter, not because of it.

To be fair, though, I don't really mind the snow too much. It's more the cold and the darkness. And the slush the snow turns into when the weather turns mild. And the ice the slush turns into when the weather turns colder again. And the insanely slippery surface you get when you have a dry layer of snow on top of the ice - with the added bonus of hiding the icy patches. And when you manage to find an icy patch you can also be sure you'll land where the sand has frozen into the ice making a very rough sandpaper surface to tear your clothes as an added bonus while you're busy shatternig your tail-bone.

No, "don't like" doesn't really cover it

Sunrise at 8.30 am today, and sunset at 3.30 pm. Just one more month of it growing darker before it turns, ever so slowly
