Scrabbler
The snow is great for snowsports. I live across the valley from a ski center and the park next door has cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails.
8:04 am
hokie carla
I guess if I had to be cold that sounds nice.
8:04 am

I would consider 48 balmy. We are at 25 and only going up to 29

good morning everyone
9:47 am
cybernan
some terrible stormss down south this past week -- I hope none of you or any of our players have been affected by them.
9:51 am
therealblah
yeah this week kind of sucked (dallas TX)
9:53 am
therealblah
power out for 3 days, no heat in house, then a burst pipe flooding my house, now no water...
10:00 am
cybernan
oh blah -- so sorry to hear you are in that mess.
10:01 am
cybernan
do you have power back now?
10:03 am
therealblah
yes power and heat is back - yay!
10:04 am
therealblah
plus the outside temp is getting back to "normal" - that is, 50-60 (f) rather than 10-15 daytime highs
10:05 am
cybernan
I guess we have to get used to the weather extremes unless the word can get together and slow down global warming.
10:06 am
hurshy
even then, it will get worse for awhile before it starts to level off...
10:06 am
hurshy
so then you have to be prepared for all the people saying "we're taking these extreme measures on climate change and it's not even working!"
10:07 am
hurshy
anyone have the second co7? (7/32)
10:08 am
cybernan
Do we have to remind them that it was 125 years of neglect that got us to this point?
10:09 am
therealblah
Probably. At least our current pres acknowledges the problem and is taking steps to address it
10:09 am
hurshy
if they think hillary clinton was part of a satanic pedophilic cabal, i'm not sure such reminders are any use
10:09 am
therealblah
hah good point
10:10 am
hurshy
oho i just remembered the co7 from past grids and got it
10:11 am
hurshy

12:29 pm
jbp

I guess the teachers union is not very powerful here.
8:18 pm
Trifioso
guess not. plus our state doesnt give a crap. we have a surplus of teachers.
8:19 pm
HarryHood
the business about bringing a 75 YO and getting your own shot made MA a laughingstock
8:19 pm
Trifioso
Im so angry at how badly MA has bungled this
8:20 pm

I'm thinking a federal mandate about teachers soon. Biden seems sympathetic
8:20 pm
