Annoyed at thread drift

[soFlaNative]

A lot of talk about wives today. We are celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary today. I am one lucky bloke, sure am glade my wife has a sense of humor and has stuck with me.

Same here, nothing better than finding THE one.
32 years today, we shook hands yesterday agreeing not to exchange anything after we both realized both had forgotten to pick up so much as a card. Much has happened the last couple of years and we are just grateful to have each other to deal with the "life happens" moments together.
We're a helluva team.

Next week we'll cross the state to our favorite cheap beach hotel and
test drive Mrs. N.'s new knee on the finely packed sands of Estero.

Today, the usually conservative Swiss marked the grand opening of their massive new rail tunnel, with what is seemingly an homage to LSD.

And this too.

This make sense to anyone? Paganism?

Guess the U.S. Iron Workers, need to up their topping-out ceremony beyond putting a tree on the last beam.

WoW, Talk about slightly over the top. Cirque du Soleil on steroids

Evening drifters it's 89 degrees at 11:08 in the evening cooling down from 100+ today and going back to 100+ tomorrow. Should be 117 Saturday according to the weatherman/woman/person. I've noticed that my thermometer and the one the weather people use don't register the same temp. I have two and I usually show a couple of degrees higher during the day than they do and a little lower at night. Oh well it is what it is.

My Dad had several thoughts regarding by temperatures that he used to say:

- Cold is better than heat, as you can always put on more clothes, but you can only take off a certain amount! He certainly wasn't a proponent of the Sahara desert method of adding clothes (robes, headdresses, etc.) to stay cool.

- Once the temperature drops to zero, no point in worrying anymore, cause cold is cold!

I do not remember anything being said about humidity, so I guess that doesn't matter?


* really strange typing this as spell check kept changing the word 'temperatures' to 'rompers tire' ? Is rompers tire a code word from the hordes ??

Good morning drift,hope everyone had a good night. Thunder woke me up during the night so I took my flashlight and looked outside from the doorway but the water was draining so I finally conked back out but sure didn't want to get up when my alarm went off! More big rain this morning is in the forecast. Some areas have been underwater so long I don't see how they will be able to rebuild with out bulldozing and starting from scratch. Fellow in my shop yesterday said he had a foot or more of silt covering his whole property,now it is underwater again. Drift on,don't worry be happy.

Those nutty Swiss have quite a penchant for opening tunnels
with some panache don't they?

That almost scared me !!

Kind of a cross between Alice in Wonderland meets
fashion week in Paris.

And with a LIBERAL dose of hallucinogenics thrown in...for bad measure...

Vonn I sure pray the rain will quit soon and you guys can dry out!

Corporate Swiss culture is not noted for being so avant-garde. Those conservatively dressed VIP guests did not seem amused by the spectacle.

A scary version of Alice in Wonderland meets fashion week is a great description.

That's what I wondered! I never did that stuff, but I imagined it to look like that show.

Good Morning Everyone:

It's a cloudy humid day. Supposed to have thunder boomers later today? Of course, when I've got things to do. We actually need the rain. Unlike Texas (Bless Their Hearts). I get so bored here if it rains more than 2 hours.

So alarm is set for 11:30, the AC is kicked down a notch. I'm going back to sleep. And Dream about doughnuts!

Please be safe. Stay well!

And may all your doughnuts have glazed icing! Unless your the one out of a thousand people that likes the cake doughnuts, and then your just weird!

We both cook. There's stuff she cooks and stuff I cook.
Some stuff we cook together.
I did learn that when she's cooking lasagna and tells me to stir the sauce, all I do is stir the sauce.
Once I added some garlic. I'll never do that again.
She does the slicing and dicing when I cook the hot chicken curry.

My wife cooks. I don't cook. But I do the dishes.

 

[raljr1]

Was I in it?

Just pretend this is hwitty.

There was the guy with no pants.

Interesting sleep patterns accompany me whenever I travel for business. I went to bed at 11:45 pm last night and woke up 2:30 am this morning. Every effort to return to sleep failed - should make for an interesting 9+ hours on my feet today.

I figured you had to be on drugs to even think of things like that.

Or maybe it's the thin mountain, air depriving their brains of oxygen.
There's one alpine valley where an annual courtship ritual was bachelors dressing as ghouls and rubbing snow in the faces of maidens.

Did it work?

 

[bigwheelzip]

Did it work?

Not 100 percent. One of them pushed my friend into a snowbank and smushed a glove full of snow in her face. She's still single 30 years later, although she was from a different valley. Maybe it only works on the local maidens.

I have only met a few Swiss but my general impressions were that they were normal somewhat conservative people. I no longer think that! They are doing some really strange kind of drugs and definitely need more mental health care!

They must have overdosed on chocolate.

A little digging uncovered the dark truth. Volker Hesse, a German theater producer, staged the show. That makes sense, since the Germans are more comfortable being on the bleeding edge of the arts.

Your looking good girl, but that traffic at the lake looks rough.
