Wow! What a snowstorm!

They predicted 1-3". We woke up to 13", and no electricity. Still don't have any, but recently read 'Lights Out', byt Ted Koppel, and got my Honda generator (see pic) all tuned and put in a supply of gas. Now have it running and powering up wireless router, charging cell phones, and running the TV and cable. Have computer, gas stove, and fireplace, and plenty of food and drink, SO, we gonna be fine.
Talked w/the kids and Kari's upset she's wasting a snow day during spring break. Nate has over 2 ft of snow and it's still snowing, like here. Will check in on neighbors soon, esp if we go into the evening w/no power.
I-70 and DIA are shut down and probably will be for a while. Am thinking electricity's gonna be out for quite a while, cuz the tree limbs are taking out power lines all over. Now have over 15" snow (click on pic to enlarge yardstick) and can't see across the fairway. Carol's ready to fix a pitcher of Marguerita's. Oh well, SNOW DAY!
One hour later we have 17". Yahoo. Now 19" and snowing.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
