Default Winter on Heartbreak Ridge!

AA Warm night Just needed sheets.At 9am bright Sun,and spending the morning at the laundry. Sunday is a boring day.No work to do other than working on van. Taking train into LA from Fullerton. When I was here 27 years ago it was just going in. This will be new to me.Have not used puplic trans. since I was a kid. If I dont get a license I will use my worker Keith to drive me around. I hate the free ways.As I got older I became timid. TreBert



When I was doing my own business and working at home, I treated Sunday as just another day. But I resented any holiday, because when you are doing a mail order business, a holiday just means "no money in your mail box".

47F today here in Tigard as of 12:15 PM. It was nice and sunny up on the ridge, but there is a lot of fog down here in the valleys.

When the east wind blows here this time of year out of the Columbia River Gorge, it is like your Santa Anna winds that are now bedeviling California at hurricane force. Only here those winds blow cold, not hot.

But today is lovely except for the fog. Say a couple of Canadian honkers out on the library lawn!

Tonight is the Pro Bowl at 5 PM PST. I see they have made a few more rule changes to make a traditionally boring game more boring. No kickoffs! I am afraid we may be seeing the future of football. Coaches don't like kickoffs because they are harder to control than plays from scrimmage. Just like they have made most trick plays illegal, because the coaches don't like surprises! And whatever happened to the locked arms wedge formation grandpa used to talk about?

Yo, "Double-A",
You seem to like and appreciate what you have and
what you are doing on your come back, and you are
in NO way like the 2 kike here who fell onto hard times
too, but who are loud-mouthing and complaining as
if the world owes them something,

like G=EMC^2 Glazier, the kike, who finds fault with
whatever he has and wherever he is, ...
... similar to Osher Doctorow @ s.p. who used to be
a High school Math teacher, and then slid out into the
street and now curses the government for every kind
and type of free help that they give him.

So, AA, you appear to be a kind hearted and well
educated person with considerable academic ken,
and you had a successful career and a biz like an
above average US bourgeois.

What disaster, accident, malheur or malfeasance
happened to you that you lost almost all and ended
up sleeping in your car for a while?

Take care and keep on climbing up-hill.
Mon chapeau, monsieur,
hanson



I was going strong in the race of life, but just couldn't make it to the finish line. (Burn out!)

Where I am staying is on the ridge of the Tualatin Mountains running just west of downtown Portland. The locals just call them the West Hills. The old money lives in the hills. Where I am is at the summit of a pass, and on the slopes of Mt. Sylvania, near the top of which sits Portland Community College. The climate is markedly colder up there than in Portland itself.. The cold east wind out of the Columbia River Gorge hits with full force. The ice we got a couple weeks ago lasted on the ground up there almost a week! But there is a beautiful view of Mt. Hood.

Now the weather is turning colder again and talk of snow is back in the forecasts. Only 44F here in Tigard today, and expected low tonight of 29F! Tigard is down in the valley just to the west. I hear the sound of ice pellets coming down now!

Don't forget, No. 2 Ducks vs. Beavers tonight at 5:00 PST on ABC!

AA Hate Mongers have me as a jail bird. They are big liars,and hope M&M does bad. They can only bad mouth,as they have little wit. They are jealous you are living better.They are jealous of everyone.Reason for that is "THEY ARE LOSERS." TreBert

I'll bet you're glad not to be in Boston anymore. They are expecting a ton of that right snow! I hope Twitty can find shelter. Harlow might be snowed in.



It's not that bad. Snow, wind.... A typical nor'easter.

However, I am looking out the window and seeing a mini snow tornado.



Any thunder snow? I heard some lightning might be about.

The streets of New York were closed to traffic overnight, but they only got 4 to 6 inches! A typical nanny-state overkill!

47F again here in Tigard as of 1:00 PM. Cloudy skies. The fog got so dense this morning that it turned to drizzle, but dryer now. Saw a flock of geese fly overhead as I walked to the library.

One change that Deflate-Gate might bring to football is providing handy compressor units by the sidelines that the officials can use on any ball that looks a little flat. I hated the rule changes in the Pro Bowel, not only omitting the kickoffs, but further discouraging the kicking game by narrowing the goal posts by 4 feet, and requiring extra point tries to me made from back on the 35 yard line. If they really want to take the foot out of football, why not just rename the game to handball? A rule change I might suggest is dispensing with the singing of the national anthem, and just cutting to some spotlighted Janet Jackson type shaking her tits! Isn't getting the testosterone flowing the whole idea anyway?

Ya. No. We already have over 30". With 50+ mph winds. Drifts 4-5 feet
tall. What I don't like is what comes after a nor'easter.. COLD ****ing
air the storm drags down from Canada.

Not a shot at him for being homeless, just a logistical problem.
