Ottawa is supposed to be getting four MORE inches of snow this week! That's on top of the FOURTEEN FEET of snow they got earlier this winter.
If somebody sees Al Gore could you send him up here with a shovel please.

I mean, this thread's been here all day and nobody YET has turned this sucker into a referendum about "You-Know-WHO"!!!!
Keep up the good work here people, and I'll check back later to see how you are all doin' again!
(oh and BTW, if you were wonderin'...it was in the mid-80s today here in L.A. with not a cloud in the sky)

April 12th and snow on the ground this morning in central Iowa.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

This seems like the longest winter in a long time. But dispite being 32 degrees this morning, I started up the HD and road 13 miles to work. The heated hand grips help. I anticpate the ride home being much warmer. I see warm days ahead.

My brother's wedding was this weekend. It snowed saturday and sunday, and was cold.
I guess I was partially correct "It would be a cold day in ****** before my brother gets married to that ______"
