Chicken Canoe...I hope she picked up every last bit of her trash too. And learned a lesson to boot. I taught my kids not to litter, and for nature walks, I would take them out with each a big black trash bag. Our walks were over when all of our trash bags were full for the day. This was just along the residential roads that we lived on.

She did pick it up. She better, I knew where she worked and I would have delivered it.

Whenever I canoe, I pick up all the stream trash left behind by the morons.

SCG I have an aunt in NH and I have felt so bad for both of you. She usually gets the storms about 3-6 hours ahead of you although the amount of snow the two of you get can vary quite a bit. Right now she has about 4' accumulated on her deck. She is mostly worried about her roof though. You guys up in NE really need a break from all the storms.

I have pretty much run out of places to put snow. Portland is 28 inches above "average" this year so far... and is about 90 minutes south of me (we get more snow) but no where close to the record amount we got a few years ago.

well you do live in Maine don't you lol

Yes, but I'm done. We've hit our quota.

Got ya beat this morning. Winter storm warning today, possible 8-12" with a chance of freezing rain just before dark then blizzard tomorrow. Oh, and then the

Polar Vortex returns!!!! Do I win????

You win! An all expense paid trip to the Bahamas. Limited time offer. Time's up.

Thanks for the laugh.

I have not tossed trash out of a window in 40 years.

In California, if a CHP sees you even ash your cigarette out a window its $1100 plus 8 hours in an orange jumpsuit picking up highway trash.

I must be in trashville.

here it is Joke of the Day

I hope no one is offended

~A US Navy cruiser anchored in Mississippi for a week's shore leave. The first evening, the ship's Captain received the following note from the wife of a very wealthy and influential plantation owner: "Dear Captain, Thursday will be my daughter Melinda's Debutante Ball. I would like you to send four well-mannered, handsome, unmarried officers in their formal dress uniforms to attend the dance." "They should arrive promptly at 8:00 PM prepared for an evening of polite Southern conversation. They should be excellent dancers, as they will be the escorts of lovely refined young ladies. One last hint: "No Jews please." Sending a written message by his own yeoman, the captain replied: "Madam, thank you for your invitation. In order to present the widest possible knowledge base for polite conversation, I am sending four of my best and most prized officers." "One is a lieutenant commander, and a graduate of Annapolis with an additional Master's degree from MIT in fluid technologies and ship design." "The second is a Lieutenant, one of our helicopter pilots, and a graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago , with a BS in Aeronautical Engineering. His Masters Degree and PhD. In Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering are from Texas Tech University and he is also an astronaut candidate." "The third officer is also a lieutenant, with degrees in both computer systems and information technology from SMU and he is awaiting notification on his Doctoral Dissertation from Cal Tech." "Finally, the fourth officer, also a lieutenant commander, is our ship's doctor, with an undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and his medical degree is from the University of North Carolina . We are very proud of him, as he is also a senior fellow in Trauma Surgery at Bethesda." Upon receiving this letter, Melinda's mother was quite excited and looked forward to Thursday with pleasure. Her daughter would be escorted by four handsome naval officers without peer (and the other women in her social circle would be insanely jealous).
At precisely 8:00 PM on Thursday, Melinda's mother heard a polite rap at the door which she opened to find, in full dress uniform, four very handsome, smiling Black officers. Her mouth fell open, but pulling herself together, she stammered, "There must be some mistake."
"No, Madam," said the first officer. "Captain Goldberg never makes mistakes."

I thought I would throw out a few photos of the "seasonal" creek on my property since we got some rain up here.

That is a nice Creek!

Seasonal, so no fish?
