I can get off the hill if I exit to the South. To the North, there is still a 2 block area which is one big sheet of steep downhill ice.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-61491123630179055812011-01-14T12:49:59.735-05:002011-01-14T12:49:59.735-05:00What kind of world do we live in when the temp in ...What kind of world do we live in when the temp in GA is colder the MT?

I know! I know!
I could not believe my eyes ...Moi,<br />I know! I know!<br />I could not believe my eyes reading Aunty's comment. I read on the Porch about Granny back in the hospital so I put it down to sleep deprivation and said a prayer for her. May be I shoulda said a rosary.<br /><br />Come drive me! The spaghetti is hell on my neck. All that tension from reckless drivers texting while approaching the Fizz at 90 in a 55. This Southern beach type can tell you for damn sure driving in snow is NOT the same as driving in sand. If I weren't broke I'd buy the Delta Direct for you.<br /><br />Boxer,<br />Will isn't as low to the ground as a Chihuahua but at just 26 pounds more than his feet are in the cold stuff. It's the looks they give you isn't it? Like yours, mine has opinions and an expressive face.<br /><br />Today the world is beautiful again, the sun is shining, the temp has made it all the way to 34 and tonight will be low 20's not teens. I got out of the driveway today and made it off this hill without sliding into the 5 lanes of oncoming at the bottom :-)<br /><br />Most of the new introduction merchandise for this market were being set up in late December. It's the newbies in the temporary showrooms who will struggle to get their goods in place. That and the employees of the companies which provide security, maintenance, sanitation and food to the multitudes. When those services don't happen, it's yucky.<br /><br />Not ever going to Vegas for many reasons. These days, I am furious with the selfish louts who keep sending Harry Reid to congress.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-49829265832710966342011-01-13T13:15:21.946-05:002011-01-13T13:15:21.946-05:00p.s.

I have many clients who rely on the Atl show for business and some are stuck here in Seattle, but I think their product is already there. <br /><br />I also understand how our lives can be reduced to pushing dogs out the back door into snow drifts and hoping they'll unfreeze enough to be their business done. As you can imagine, Chihuahuas don't likey the snow.<br /><br />Hang in there and here's hoping for warming temps and a successful trip. Drive safe.<br /><br />@Moi - Aunty's comment caused me to cough up my coffee. I had just taken a big swill. ahahahaha.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280822962202098606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-26971790960195176212011-01-13T12:04:16.275-05:002011-01-13T12:04:16.275-05:00Did I just read Aunty cuss?

If I were a lady of leisure, I'd drop the three large on a Delta Direct and be your driver. Snow and ice? Concrete spaghetti? Pfffft.

The offer to buy you a fine cuppa and a guest badge is still good if you get out of the mountains :-)<br /><br />Eggy,<br />Oh! From your sweet purple heart to God's ear! I am beyond ready for a positive change. <br /><br />On the home front, today the sun is shining, I will get out of the driveway and Blowfish will be excited at the return of his favorite groceries! Last nights dinner was a fireside picnic of roasted potato salad with citrus marinated drumsticks and pan grilled asparagus. Sadly for my foodie spouse, culinary creativity isn't in me.<br /><br />Pam,<br />Come on down! <br />Shall I pre-register you as a guest and have your security badge waiting? <br />I hope it will be fun, informative, energized, rewarding.<br />Some markets are high energy, exciting events others are a boring slog.<br />No photography allowed so it is unlikely I will be able to have a fun post market photo blog report.<br />Certainly I won't be able to take the new camera but I might sneak in a few shots from my tiny little point and shoot. With all the smart phones, how do they hope to prevent photography?fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-20981816038202354642011-01-13T00:05:16.976-05:002011-01-13T00:05:16.976-05:00OOOOH!
