I haven't seen coal for over 40 years. You guys really have that stuff down there? Any way you can send me a lump or two? (my wife hasn't been a very good girl this year...) :lol:

Sure, got a strip about 20 minutes up the road from me. Dump truck sure gets nasty after picking up a load in the fall/winter too!!
I've got some in a tub in front of the garage, what's your address? :lol:

Okay, I admit it, I've been avoiding this thread :( I thought it was just another "killer" thing, but, I see I was wrong :( Please forgive me Heikki.
This is actually quite a sensible thread about nothing in particular. Can I come and play ;)
Cheers

Paul,

Welcome to this very serious thread!! :) Hope it does not bore you too much! :roll:

It's another fine damp, but warm (50F), day here. Snow tomorrow, and lots of snow on Sunday, they say. That's OK since my snowblower works just fine.

Ya know, I could live without the snow, but since this is sorta 'snow country' , it would be nice to have a coating for Christmas.

You should count yourself lucky. I use to drive a coal truck in eastern Oklahoma, it's nasty stuff. :thumbdown:

But hey, the gas prices are going down here!! They must not be scrooges after all.

I like the snow, I say let it snow...better that than this damn rain when it's this cold out!!!

I have an easier time finding that 'Xmas Spirit' when there is. No snow and it just doesn't seem like Xmas, I prefer snow to rain on Xmas for sure.
I don't think I'd enjoy Xmas much living down south where it never snows.

Having spent 22years in the USAF, I got to spend my share of Christmas in some pretty warm places. It's OK once in a while, but I really do like it to be cold (or at least a bit cold) and snow on the ground to really enjoy the holiday!!

Hey, ya can still have the rest of winter and I can go golfing! :)

We were going to go back to Colorado for Christmas this year so my daughter could see a white Christmas, but my Mom in law(Mom) has had some bad health, so now were going to Florida. It'll be margaritas by the sea this year! :D

It was in the upper 80's and lower 90's with very high humidity most days!! :sweaty:
