No, he didn't show up.

He's a science teacher and often doesn't turn up for school; either.

Good HEAVENS!!!!!! How can he get away with that??!?!?!?

That's interesting. I know where I live they gave been replacing poles. Some of them where leaning and old. The new ones that they put up are much heavier duity poles. Thicker and taller.

Most utility companies have an underground conversion program (changing aerial to underground), but it takes a lot of money, so it doesn't happen very fast.

Interesting job...you mean I should stop peeling off those metallic numbers neatly nailed into the telephone poles here?

Those are mainly just size identity. DF = douglas fir 35' = thirty five foot pole 1938 = the year they milled the pole (not necessarily the year it was placed in the ground) That's phone poles. The power companies actually put the pole's identity (number) on each pole.

So you're the culprit, huh? Good to know. I'll be keeping my eye on you.

G’day all. Like a broken record stuck in the same groove here in Maryland. Very cold....very dark.....very windy....and everything is all very frozen solid. Washington’s Potomac River is frozen, and tributaries to the great Chesapeake Bay..frozen too. Car batteries are dead, pipes are bursting, the only topic on the “news” is the weather. Hello Polar Vortex. Goodbye Global Warming?

Sounds dark and gloomy. [emoji26]

Hmm, I never tried to eat insects but it is said and I believe, that insects could feed a lot of starving people. Insects are mostly easy to breed and they are full ot protein. A cow needs 3 - 4 years getting to an adult and a lot of food and water in this time. Some maggots need only a few days to be full grown and need rarely food. It is an idea. Maybe in a few years we eat steaks made of maggots ???
Eatable insects can you buy but at present, but they are too expensive:

and here is a book about cooking with insects:

I think that would be an acquired taste.

Yeah, watching the weather for our east coast is pretty scary stuff. If you put a gun to my head and told me I HAVE to move to the east coast, I'd say, "Just shoot me."

Good afternoon, Carol!
Happy Christmas Eve! ,

Happy Christmas Eve Adam. Hope your day is going well so far.

How rude!!!

 

[CarolM]

Hope so!
Good afternoon, Sabine!
Snappy Christmas Eve!

Ha ha ha.

 

[CarolM]

Busy preparing for Christmas again.
Am quite tired of it all, actually.

I could not imagine having to go through it twice. Also expensive to do it twice.

 

[CarolM]

I don't feel like doing anything today. Do I have your permission to sit around and do nothing?

Go ahead.

What a nice picture.

 

[CarolM]

My career goals are to continue my education after I get in the aviation industry and move up in the ranks of the company. Either into engineering or management. Maybe engineering management lol.

Good goals to have.

That bad huh! Lol.

 

[DE42]

I live near the east coast but I'm not getting hit as bad as a lot of places.

Sun is out...clear blue skies.....but still C O L D and windy. I did get out and put extra bird seed and suet for our feathered and bush tailed friends. Fresh drinking water toooooo. Even in sub freezing war, they all stop in for a drink of clean, fresh water.
