Cold Miser

Nah. I can't do much worse than the last 2 seasons. (15" total this past season, and maybe 12" total the season before). My jinx is not anyone else's.

...My snow thrower, White Out turns 26 years old this season, and is coming out of hibernation. She's seen some epic snow storms and great winters, but as of late some epic duds. She's is heading out for a tune up and some repairs. Hopefully winter feeds her well this year.

55 here at work. When I left this am (around 530) it was in the 40s.

I spoke to my mom. She is high enough to not be affected, but I will be checking her basement.

Very ominous here in Manchester, but mainly N/W of my work. A few lighting strikes in the distance.

Not for another 5 or 6 years. That was the set list for Foxboro Stadium in 1992.

My mom just texted me to say a black bear just walked on her patio by her back door which was open. This was in Southbury.

I'm going tonight with my son and a few friends. Can't wait! You will have a good time. I've seen them 6 times, but all between 1986 and 1992. The last time was the Metallica/ Guns & Roses / Faith No More tour at the old Foxboro stadium. That stadium tour was the show of the year back then...tough ticket to get. I think of the entire stadium tour, only 4 or so cities did not completely sell out...probably in the mid-west. All kinds of drama during it as well, a pyro incident and Hetfield's arm, Axl Rose doing tool-ish Axl Rose sh.it (puking on stage and causing trouble), and I think Faith No More getting fired from the tour shortly after the Foxboro show. The singer pissed on some stage equipment or something like that. Quick, dumb story about it...I was in college at the time, and when I got back to campus my friends were all laughing, telling me I was on the news. ...Apparently, there was a reporter in the parking lot, interviewing people before the show. I was in the background, leaning up against a tree, smoking a joint, and holding a can of Bud. They saw it on the 11pm news. You will probably never see a set list as awesome as this again (even with the meh tunes)... Creeping Death Harvester of Sorrow Sanitarium Sad But True (meh) Wherever I may Roam Of Wolf and Man For Whom The Bell tolls Unforgiven Shortest Straw Fade To Black Master of Puppets Seek & Destroy Whiplash Nothing Else Matters (meh) Am I Evil Last Caress One Sandman (meh) Some instrumental solos in there somewhere

Same. It's awful.

...Throw the Cat 5 'cane in there and the state is no more.

Serious question...When ever he expresses concern, has it ever been justified? Meaning, have drought conditions adversely affected our region as a whole in a manner where the end result has been dire, and legit doom to plant life? Has their been suffering and pain due to a New England drought during the lifetime of Stein? I'm not talking about backyard herb garden drought and famine.

...Was going to the Metallica show tonight at Gillette, but now, not so sure I want to endure banging my head with 60k people dressed in black (mostly dudes) in the late afternoon during satanically hot, and hellish heat. But, if I wait until the Sunday show I will surely be riding the lightning while the storms pass right over the stadium. Either way it's a loss.

It was a good couple of months while it lasted...Now on to TP sticking to butt cracks, and rivers of sweat rolling off of the dome.
