They were talking about this on a financial show today. They have the same problem in the summer when people are running air conditioners a lot. People don't drive a lot in an ice storm but they drive a lot in the summer so are going to be charging their cars a lot. Proposing changes make folks feel good but they don't mean anything if they can't be implemented practically.

Sorry to be ignorant here but what are body tolerances? Does it have to do with making a car that is too streamlined and has the potential to go airborn?

I'm partial to Swamp Molly's truck myself.

good choices Cousin!

Of course they will because NASCAR fans love races! (I don't care who you are, that's funny right there)

We never got all the snow last night we were supposed to but we are now. We could get as much as a foot. I'm so happy my wife has Tuesday off. Those pileated woodpeckers are awesome. I think they are bigger than crows. We see them once in awhile but not that often. They were rare when I was a kid too. It's been really cool to see bald eagles increasing in numbers. They were never around when I was a kid. Neither were wild turkeys. I haven't seen a ruffled grouse in many years. They used to be all over the place.

I'm glad I'm retired. We have a 150 foot driveway and I've never owned a snowblower. We're supposed to get a foot too but I'll have all day to keep up with it. They showed a nationwide map and this storm is huge....creating a swath from New England to New Mexico. I was supposed to take my mom to a specialist in Pittsburgh (2 hours away) Tuesday morning but that's supposed to be the worst of it so we're going to change the appointment. Today was the 25th anniversary of asking my wife to marry me. Good news today, we found a shih-tzu puppy. It's only 2 days old but we'll be getting it in April. We haven't had a dog for 5 years.

A lot of people are going to be pretty tired at work Monday.

LoL I'll have to ask her who she thinks is the best looking guy on GH. None of them are as handsome as Jesse Duke though. Speaking of Denver Pyle, I just watched the episode of Andy Griffith where Drisco Darling has a crush on Aunt Bea. Denver was born in 1920 and she was born in 1902 but they looked similar in age. I'm now Denver's age from the second year of the filming of Dukes.

I wouldn't word it "the hots" but she is trying to look like Emma as much as possible to make me happy...fixed her hair that way, got the same glasses, slouches down a little to look shorter. She even got a job at the post office and rides wheelies on her dirt bike to deliver the letters. Of course there's the old saying "what's good for the goose is good for the gander". In exchange, I've been working on my Jesse look and sound to make her happy. Here goes "I ain't yer Uncle Jesse!" There, did that sound like him?

The only girl currently on TV I think is pretty is Lacey Chabert. She does a lot of Hallmark movies now but was most famous for Mean Girls. She's nowhere as pretty as my wife or Emma Tisdale but she's okay. Maybe Hoss or someone can post a newer picture of her since I don't know how. She looks a little different now than on Mean Girls.

Hmmm, never even heard of it.

Makes me proud to be British bloody old chap! I have Irish and German in me too....but mostly American redneck.

inspection (them tires won't pass inspection if ya burn too much rubber)

I'm more of a Miz Emma Tisdale, Grannie Annie or Swamp Molly kinda guy myself.....they're hotter than Charlie's Angels.

Tough one. If Hoss or someone else doesn't come up with it I might but it's going to require some thinking.

sky dive

Derrike Cope is 62 and is going to race in the Daytona 500. He won it 31 years ago......Beat Dale Sr in the last lap when Sr cut a tire with a half lap to go. Dale was in the lead and if he wouldn't have hit the debris that cut his tire he would have won his first Daytona.

season

I've spent less money on an entire car than a catalytic converter costs. That was nice of you Spike. You are a real Hazzardite. I've been watching a lot of those survival shows. It really is amazing what people can live through when they put their minds to it.
