Sitting at home nursing a wife with food poisoning; went and checked my temp on the electronic gauge -- I take that back - it's 94.8º in the shade on my north facing no-sun porch ... :oops:
 
Looks like a perfect day for watching sand volleyball at Frenchy's on Clearwater Beach ... :p

I hope she feels better soon.
Regarding the heat, Have you been to the botanical gardens off of Archer on a hot day? When I was there, it seemed cooler due to the enormous amounts of shade. I especially recall the bamboo section being comfortable in the afternoon due to the very thick hedges. It was like another world! You wouldn't think that hot Archer Road was so close!

Fantabulous place!
I love it more in winter when the sandhills are flying. But any day there is a phenom. Keep it a secret though - G'ville's growing too much ... :eek:
 
Sitting here thankful for power and air conditioning and a hot dinner and the ability to shop where ever, whenever I want on this 6th anniversary of the complete shutdown of most of north Alabama. We had a dusk to dawn curfew for a few days due to the complete power outage. I actually left town 2 days into the situation, but from what I understand, most folks behaved themselves. These situations seem to bring out the best in humanity (with some exclusions). So many good samaritans volunteered their work, food, shelter to care for those who lost so much. And tonight, 6 years later, it is peaceful.

You did but let's the 2 of us to encourage others to contribute! Buy a t-shirt and help out 100%.
 
I failed to mention that many, MANY of those good samaritans were Red Cross volunteers. They need your donations please :)
 
Y'all got real men sizes?? Like 2xlt/3xlt??
 
Somebody start the Denver snow thread
 
Lol! Does your cursor change to a circle with arrows on the top and bottom? That's a "feature" that allows for quick scrolling. You get it by a certain method of clicking that I haven't quite nailed down yet :confused: It's a Windows thing.

It hasn't been an issue for a while now today thankfully but for some reason, this morning I just turned my computer on and it was constantly scrolling. When it gets that way my computer also beeps loudly, then turns on just fine.
 
I just did it - while scrolling using the mouse wheel, click the mouse wheel. It puts you in a weird mode of scrolling that I find somewhat disturbing. To exit this mode, just right click.
 
Now I know how the Braves fans felt all those years of watching their team be great during the regular season and crumbling like cheap toilet paper come playoff time; welcome to being a Caps fun... Keep getting suckered in every year only to watch them crash and burn...

Doesn't help that they run into my Penguins it seems every year in the Playoffs who seem to hit another level in the post season..
 
FWIW - I see new folks posting (which is great!) but some of you are not yet on our Members' Map - please add yourselves!
 
TWC is saying 90% chance of something called "rain" tomorrow night.
Can someone dust off the cobwebs and tell me what that "rain" word means?
LOL :p
 
Thank the Lord to have enough sense not to start posting Lewis Grizzard quips in response to some ...

OK

Rant done

Thought it was going to be deja-vu for the Caps; dominate the game and still lose.. Shocked they actually won; glimmer of hope but just barely..
 
Well as FYI...
KFFC will continue to be down for approximately two weeks for the repair of a ma
jor mechanical component. An engineering team from the Radar Operations Center h
ave determined that the bull gear, the primary gear for turning the radar antenn
a, has failed. A team from the ROC along with our local technitions are working
on repairs, with the radar expected to return to service by Sunday, May 14th.
