I had to shovel snow until about 3:00 A.M. just to get the truck off the street and another 2 hours to get the cars in the other driveway. About sunup I collapsed on the living room floor and slept while my wife and kids Got all the small stuff out of the cars and truck. There is snow and there is way too much snow at the wrong time. Iowa was like an ice sculpture wonderland that night, but could there have possibly been a worse time to pull up to a new house after a 2,000 mile drive?? Bill Baka Bill, stories like the above are adventures when you are young, but they are sheer misery when you are old. It seems I have spent most of my life cursing this g.d. Minnesota weather. I dream of tropical climates where it is always about 85 degrees in the shade and no freaking wind at all. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota At 43 I wasn't exactly a young man then either. My sister retired to Phoenix and is cursing the 115 degree days, dry or not. That is like sticking your head in an oven, dry but hot anyway. San Diego has the best overall weather I have seen in the country, but it is California and way too many Mexicans for me. Bill Baka |

Well, why the **** don't you move? Jesus. Ever heard of Florida? Christ Almighty! Ever hear of 'commitments'? If not, then look up the word in a dictionary. It means that you can't move because of obligations. I am tied to property, but most folks are tied to family. What is the matter with you that you can't understand this? Are you an idiot or only pretending to be one? "Tied to property"... Hmmmm... Yeah, I guess property can't be managed remotely, or managed by some hired help, or.... Whatever. Nope, the property I am sitting on would go to hell in a hand basket overnight if I were ever to leave it to others. Quit whining about the weather, then. Move if you don't like it. There are any number of extremely stupid folks here in Minnesota who actually like this confounded climate. They will even boast about our weather! I am here to tell the world that Minnesota is the pits for weather. I think only North Dakota has it worse in the lower 48.

Do not birds of a feather flock together? What the hell are you talking about? There is associating with your own kind (things in common) and then avoiding a place because there are too many coloured folks by your own racist criteria. So yes, you're a racist prick too.

It just happens that I get sick of Mexican music at full blast all the time and it all sounds the same to me. I can't talk to them and they refuse to learn English so to hell with them. Mexican 'rap' might be interesting. Bill Baka |
