Weather Not as Bad as Predicted

As usual, the snow storm did not have the teeth the local weather forecasters were calling for. The snow is now coming to an end and I have two inches on the ground. I can say that I am happy that the local weather men were wrong. Here's to hoping there is not to much winter left in these parts.

OH BOY ANOTHER SNOW STORM

Saturday: Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 32. South southeast wind between 10 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

To some in Michigan and the other regions to be covered by this latest system, this is indeed good news. Myself, I am ready for spring. Enjoy all you snow lovers out there.

thanks to "Married to the Sea" for this one...

Good News or Bad News

I guess that depends on how you look at it. Google's new latitude service gives you the ability to track friends and family, or just about anyone who gives you permission to track them. I'm not all that hard to find for the most part, but it would be nice to keep track of where my kids are. In case you didn't know, kids are not always honest when giving their parents the skinny on their whereabouts. It's kind of a big brother technology, but could be useful in certain situations. I'll let you decide if this service is right for you. My soap box is in it's proper storage area. Click here to see if latitude blows your skirt up.

A Classic is no Longer a Classic

After introducing New Coke twenty four years ago and alienating a good portion of their customer base. Coke thought the need to bring back the traditional Coke and call it "Classic" would call the faithful back to their product. Well I guess 24 years is long enough, the Coca-Cola Company has decided to drop The word classic from their packaging. Seeing that New Coke has long since went the way of the dinosaurs, I wonder what took them so long? So pop the top on a can of "Classic" and drink in the rest of the story.
