We WERE going to go back in service tomorrow, not any more. The storm knocked the power out. The power company said we will not be back on line until tomorrow evening at 8PM We are running a few things at the house off of the truck APU. We have a wood stove for heat upstairs and we...

I don't know what other things the State should be funding. It would be an interesting argument if I were not headed for bed. I have to get up early to finish the refrigerator installation so we can go in service Tues. Maybe if I get that done I will have time to mull this one around.

Too hot for my liking. Anything over 70 for summer temps is more than I can take. Winter is cool!! Which means it is not too hot! :D

Because they are not the "brightest bulbs in the pack"? :p

It is pretty nasty down this way, John. It is 32 degrees with light rain. It is freezing on contact.

The Weather Channel is reporting a 50 car pile up on I94 on the western side of Michigan. Still freezing rain around here. A second low pressure system right on the tail of the first. MDOT is saying to stay off the roads

I have NO problem with taking education out of the hands of the State and Federal Governments. I believe that ALL education should be local. NO teacher should ever be allowed to strike. They should have to produce. No more silliness like graduating people who cannot read or write.

I don't know if it is a tangent or not. A lot would depend on the wording of the contract. I don't know enough about WI law to make that guess. With as many as called off it can, and should, be considered a strike. Schools had to be shut down for no good reason. There were other more productive...

I wonder how they got there? In their own cars? In buses? I sure hope that they did not use public funding to cover the costs of their transportation. I think that governor should be looking into that.

The low pressure system is coming up from Indiana. We are experiencing the "wrap around" winds off the front side of the low as it passes south of us. That gives us an east wind. It kinda works like a NorEaster off the coast.

Good luck. You are going to need it. It is an ice skating rink out in front of my house right now. Wrecks are the rule.

It has changed over to freezing rain. It is NASTY out there right now.

Odd wind here today. It is a "snow" wind, out of the East. Our normal wind is South West. It is light but East winds tend to increase snow amounts around here. This storm is coming up from south and west of us.

Be extra careful today and tomorrow if you are coming into Michigan. The weather is dicey. It is snowing now, is going to switch over to freezing rain later then snow some more tomorrow. I don't know about the interstates right now but secondary roads are very slick.

Well, let's see, I was both covered AND restricted by the Hatch Act when I was with the DOD. I don't remember about the State when I was in PA but I THINK I had the same Hatch restrictions. SO, you have NO PROBLEM with state employees taking YOUR money, calling in sick, and YOU paying them to...

It might have been peaceful but it should be illegal. Public employees should NOT be in unions, should be FIRED for calling in sick and then showing up to protest their wages. That is fraud. Public employees should only be paid what the public can afford to pay. Most people in the private sector...

LOL!!! Well Phil, wise is nothing that I ever been accused of! :p You are correct. We should all be exploring the business all of the time. It is only smart.

That is a bad thing. So much for interstate commerce laws. If FedEx decides to put us out of business that way, so be it. I am TIRED of all of it. $5000, or more, on a truck that will already have close to 700,000 miles is not a wise choice. At least, not in my book. I guess that it is time for...

ANYONE who runs away rather than fighting for their beliefs is a coward and shows a distinct lack of character. If I was in the district where one of these "bums" who ran was elected I would be doing EVERYTHING legal that I could to unseat them. I still say they should be arrested.

Yep, that they should. If those Senators accept pay or use those credit cards while they are throwing their tantrum they should be arrested for theft when they reenter the state.
