Mago, would you please stop sending snow to Michigan? We've had 12 inches in the past couple of days, below zero weather last night and six more inches of sleet and snow predicted for this afternoon and tonight. Enough is enough!
Happy holidays, all!

24849. magoseph - 12/23/2008 10:54:13 PM

Tonight and tomorrow 90% snow here, Wonks--sorry.

I'm off to the Bay Area to meet the whole brood. Happy Holidays to you all!

Happy Holidays back. I'm posting from a slow wireless connection just North of the Bay myself, (Travis AFB billeting). Visiting old friends for the holidays.

Judith, I guess I was talking about some of the smaller Hyundai models, cause I sure don't like the new BMW. But I'm sure your car is lovely nevertheless. But brown? There is oh so much, way too much brown in the world these days. But again, I'm sure yours is a lovely shade. Ha!

24852. arkymalarky - 12/24/2008 5:11:32 AM

Not this brown. Besides, think about it--how many brown cars are around?

24853. arkymalarky - 12/24/2008 5:12:49 AM

You know, Judith, you're going to have to post a picture of your car.

Not sure if I've ranted about the ubiquity of the color brown here in the Mote. But it is really becoming a colorless world. Just look around. Everything is brown.

I walked into a brand new casino the other day. Everything is brown, including the art hanging on the walls...rugs, table tops (felt), walls, furniture...all brown. And that's typical these days. Chances are, all the houses on your block are some shade of brown.

I'm driving a 20 year old Toyota Corona. (grey)

The best part is that you don't even have to bother locking it, nobody would want it. Which works for me because I often forget to...

This morning, the boot wouldn't shut. The spot weld failed. My brother lent me an elastic to hold it down. But I still got a ticket for the front number plate which fell off at some point...
Only for a month.

Congrats iii for your Mrs. I hope the rest works out OK, and I agree about not counting your chickens...

Hello, Ano, I copied for you this image of forty years ago!



Ali, are congratulations for your marriage in order now?

24858. alistairconnor - 12/24/2008 2:23:15 PM

Hell no Mago I spoke too soon...

Here I am on the moon, she's on planet Earth. Our current separation will be our longest, when it ends three weeks from now. It's already long.

It's 1.20 on Christmas morning here, perhaps time to stop drinking and go to bed?

24859. judithathome - 12/24/2008 4:19:22 PM

Ano, my brown is almost black...a dark, bronzey cocoa brown that gleams in the sunlight. Trust me, it's fabu!

Speaking of ubiquity of color, drive past any new car lot, mall parking area, or parking at an airport and you will see nothing but a sea of white, silver, and black. Spots of red and burgandy. And that's about it.

I've had people stop me and ask what color my car is....how often does that happen today?

24860. arkymalarky - 12/24/2008 4:22:18 PM

I just love y'all. Had to say that. And I hope everyone has a great holiday!

And Wabbit, if you're around, I sent you an email.

24861. thoughtful - 12/24/2008 6:24:21 PM

Happiest of holidays to everyone.
May your new year be prosperous, healthy and happy!

Here comes the sun!



Now that ain't brown!
