    Polar Blast 2014 - How Are You Doing?

    I don't know what happened here. It would seem '78 was not confined to the US. We had the one and only big blizzard while we were in England that year. Could not get up to the base for 3 days. Heavy snow in Yorkshire is even more rare than here.

    Polar Blast 2014 - How Are You Doing?

    Not in my lifetime. Some say that a storm in 1978 was almost as bad. I was in England at the time so I missed that one. Lake effect snow on this side of the Lake is very rare. It takes a kind of Nor'Easter to get that. Even then we seldom get the combination of wind/temps and snow levels like we...

    Polar Blast 2014 - How Are You Doing?

    The damage to my house has exceeded 10K and it may go higher. It was a combination of many things. The main thing is that the kind of storm we had is very rare around here. This was unlike any I have seen around before.

    DUTY - by Robert Gates, confirms what most have suspected

    I would put NOTHING past ANY administration. They are all out only for their own power, glory and enrichment and would stop at nothing to achieve those goals.

    Polar Blast 2014 - How Are You Doing?

    It would appear that the "Storm of Jan, 2014" was worse than I thought it was. State Farm has activated it's disaster teams to help handle all the claims for damage. The adjuster I spoke with said this was one of the worst snow/cold events she has ever had to deal with.

    Pure Michigan

    I have been lucky enough to meet a local man, Lenard, who still has the original documents that were signed by his ancestors, when they ceded the land from north of Detroit down past Toledo to the US government. Someday those documents are going into a museum. Right now they are held by the family.

    I have not looked outside but it is likely thick out here too.

    DUTY - by Robert Gates, confirms what most have suspected

    You would have to go back much further than LBJ to find the roots of the problems we are dealing with today.

    Which now is providing a LOT of revenue in the form of natural gas. Some people's garbage is other's fuel.

    Pure Michigan

    Give it to me, I can fix it! It would be a wonderful place again. There would be no problem with the roads anymore, I would tear them out. No more slums. Gone. No crime, since I would know all of the 20-30 people who would be living here! Just great hunting, great fishing and great wetlands...

    Time quiz to predict your political leanings

    85/15 conservative. The one question did not fit at all. I would NEVER go to NYC, other than for work, and have no interest in visiting Times Square OR the museum. NYC is just another waste of good wetlands. It was mildly fun to take, bogus of course, since many of the answers would be based...

    I am not sure what you mean by your question.

    Colorado dope dispensaries preparing to accept food stamps

    First, just like with booze, there will be a market for tax free pot. Second, they are already in human trafficing, kidnapping and other drugs. Never forget that the end of prohibition has not gotten rid of the BATFE OR moonshiners. There is a very large market for tax free cigarettes and, with...

    Colorado dope dispensaries preparing to accept food stamps

    It won't even slow them down, long term. Just a minor speed bump for them. Again, and we both know I have to make this clear, I am NOT saying that it should be illegal. I am just saying that it will not hurt the cartels for long. They will expand other product lines that they are already...
