Here we go....




Si, si......!

We were kind of jazzed to see that a new one of these is being built right down the street from us. Word has it that the restaurant in Big Cove has pretty good food so hopefully our new Mexi-joint will follow suit.

I've included a song in this post, but I'm only putting it on the individual post page because there's one auto-play song on here at the present time and I haven't taken the time to figure out how to stop that so I can auto-play this one. BTW, this song isn't for or against the subject, it's merely my "artistic" interpretation with guest vocalist President George W. Bush...

I was talking with my dad..................

earlier this evening. We were yakking it up with the MySpaceIM. I don't use these types of programs often anymore. Hell, I remember when I first started using ICQ roughly 10 years ago. I just don't chat often enough. Anyway, he brought up my post covering the rough weather on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and the crazy number of tornadoes that were reported. I just looked at NOAA's Storm Prediction Center data for that day again and in the space of about two days, the number had jumped from 78 to 91. I sure as hell hope that this unusual set of weather circumstances doesn't foreshadow the spring storm season......

Goodbye Mitt! And, hey I'm sorry, but good riddance! For some reason, I just wasn't overly fond of this guy. First, it seemed suspiciously as if he had a BIG agenda if he financed nearly 1/3 of his campaign with his own cash. Add his remarks at CPAC announcing the suspension of his campaign today and I'm more than happy to see him bow out.

"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."

--Mitt Romney/02-07-08 addressing CPAC

I'd laugh my ass off if Obama or Clinton win. I wouldn't like it but it would be an ironic twist.....

Speaking of things Presidential....

My grandmother's 90th birthday is coming up in March. I thought it would be cool to send her a birthday greeting from the White House. You can have a White House greeting sent for a baby's birth, a wedding, someone's 80th (or greater) birthday or a couple's 50th (or greater) wedding anniversary. Need more info? Click here.

Peace, y'all!

Whew, I'm glad last night (really early this morning) is over....

It's a complete bummer to hear that over 50 people were killed in the storms of last night/early this morning. This was some ABSOLUTELY FREAKY weather. If the numbers are accurate, this month will probably be a record breaker. The highest number of tornadoes reported for the month of February between 1950 and 2004 was 83 in 1971. The storms from last night/this morning are reported to have produced 78. How freakin' nuts is that? While looking up some of this info, I found some other interesting sites.....

NSSTC Collaborative Weather Blog
NWS Huntsville preliminary local storm reports

One other interesting spot (there are millions, I'm sure)....

A recent conversation we were having with our best friends brought up a big (and unusual) snowstorm that happened when we were back in high school. I didn't remember when it happened, but I found a little more info here. Yeah, our little freak snow happened in January 1988........

Now onto lighter things....

I was leafing through a catalog from J&R Music and Computer World after I received some software that I used an amazon.com gift certificate to purchase a few weeks ago. One of the items in the catalog was the Nabaztag/tag. That's kinda weird!

Well, Super Tuesday is over. At least the Republican race is becoming less muddled. I'll still vote Libertarian in November.....
