kidsmoke Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm thinking of all of you about to be in the thick of this polar vortex monster arctic storm. I hope you can all mostly shelter in place until the worst is past. Try to stay off those icy auto rinks that masquerade as streets!I speak as a Californian who has never had to drive in anything worse than a thunderstorm...please do be careful. Check in and tell us what it's like where you are.Me, I spent today pruning my avocado tree and picking lemons. All very lovely in CA right now...until summer arrives with 119-degree days. This whole climate change/wacky weather thing is so weird and unsettling.Anyway folks let us know how you're faring out there. A kidsmoke worries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm in the Chicago area. I just got the e-mail that schools are closed Wednesday and Thursday. I'll be staying home at least Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, luckily the university my wife works at is also closed - so we don't have to worry about a sitter and such. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lotti Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 There is not an excuse for taking advantage of ice hole pleasure for sure! No?Welfare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Lotti should go to Chicago and direct things. I'm sure they'd be better off, and we'd all be entertained. So has anybody licked a metal pole and gotten stuck yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've got a little sunburn from sitting by the pool in Vegas last weekend. Unusually warm for January (70). I picked the right weekend to go down there. & I got to see Van Morrison to boot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Did you tweet your sunburn to the president, thus confirming global warming? Now, I am picturing Van laying out by the pool in a speedo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
