That's why you have a boat and a pool here. It is one place where they both make financial sense from a "time used" standpoint. I swim about 9 months a year and boat 12. Snowbirds come down here and jump in the pool in december but not me. The 3 months, roughly centered on the winter solstice, don't give me enough sun light on the solars to keep the pool at 80. Yeah, you could tell the locals. They would be dressed in their down jackets. The boys from Michigan would be bare chested, loading their cooler, and heading for the beach. I guess temperatures are a relative thing. |

Eisboch Why are you so concerned about removing the snow from your driveway? :) Good question. It ends up turning into a sheet of ice anyway. Earlier today I told Mrs.E. that we'd be better off not plowing it because both her Navigator and my truck have better 4x4 traction in snow than on ice. She looked at me like I had two heads. The pictures you see of our driveway are a bit deceiving. There is quite a steep hill coming up from the horse barn to the house. If it's not plowed, the snow packs down into ice and it becomes very slippery. After the last storm which was about 18 inches of snow, then some sleet and brief rain the temps dropped that night to about 10 degrees. The only way to get from the house to the barn was sitting on your ass and sliding down the hill. Behind the barn (actually in front of it looking from the road) there's another driveway section that circles around the barn and up to the house from the other direction. That section also is a fairly steep hill that turns to solid ice unless you can get it down to bare blacktop first. I had to spread 9 bags of rock salt after the last storm. I hate using that stuff, but the "environmentally friendly" stuff is about 17 bucks a bag versus 7 bucks for rock salt. Eisboch |

Can be very educational, besides entertaining. It made me want to do some study on Kansas. I got me to thinking how the Indians and early settlers survived during the winter. Man, Eisboch has it good with that driveway! Just steps from the hot chocolate. hehe. --Vic You're a regular riot. Eisboch |

Kansas contained some of the highlights of a long family road trip I took in '88. I like the plains and the seas. Don't care much for hills. Especially ones with driveways.

Fishing guide I used in Tortuguero, Costa Rica almost had the son die from coconut bonk. Only reason the kid survived, is they had enough money to air evacuate to a good hospital in San Jose. He said they are quite a few injuries from falling coconuts. We witnessed a couple different conocuts falling from trees, so extrapolated to the major coconut growing regions, there is a good chance that 150 are killed. |
