I'm tired of reading about the world's longest wooden footbridge. Hello!?” 7:46:31 AM 12/07/05 “If Nowslimmer hasn't done the weather it's probably cuz there isn't any. Everyone quick look out there window. See that stuff out there? It's not weather!” 7:54:57 AM 12/07/05 “You know, losing his cup I can understand, but now he comes up missing.............IT'S AN ALIEN ABDUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!” 7:59:29 AM 12/07/05 “Well, if it's an "alien" abduction, they got the right guy, lol.” 8:01:51 AM 12/07/05 “Ouch, Nimblefoot!” 8:02:33 AM 12/07/05 “.....meanwhile.........nowslimmer, in a subconscious slumber, belly down on a metal slab is about to undergo....................the probe.......................(details to follow)” 8:08:31 AM 12/07/05 “Good morning.

My mind was coming up with all kindsa scary stuff: probes, needles, laughter, etc. Glad to see your amoung us. Say, did they happen to locate your brain? I can almost guarantee you they found your wallet. last edited: 12/07/05 8:45:36 AM” 8:43:02 AM 12/07/05 “They said a report will hit the papers in about two days. I was a little worried about in which column it would be printed, since they put me in something that was about the size of a coffin. I was asked what kind of music I liked. I replied, "Dixieland." They rejected that idea as they placed a headset on me saying "You'll never lay still(pun) with that playing. We've had experience!" So as the board moved into the coffin, I thought I heard "Taps!" LOL. last edited: 12/07/05 8:53:21 AM” 8:51:31 AM 12/07/05 Is that a trumpet I hear? “Don't they have one of them new "open air" MRI's? They would never get my wife in one of those things you went in. She's so claustrophobic that she has to sleep with her head out the tent door if it's a two person style.” 8:59:22 AM 12/07/05 “Did you tell her that is where the snakes and mice play?” 9:03:43 AM 12/07/05 “She's more scared of being closed in......it was a childhood thing when other kids piled on her and scared her, and being a country girl snakes and mice don't scare here much. She can take a hit from a stingin lizard pretty good too.” 9:06:43 AM 12/07/05 “Again NO degrees with -12 wind chill. Furnace running constantly!! BUT WE HAVE A WARMING TREND!!!

Well, I woke up at 3 AM and the pooch said he needed to go out...badly. He's old and when he gets the urge, he tells me...he's good about that. Knowing not to ignore him, I bundled up and went out to give him a short walk. The wind is blowing a bit making the 12 degrees seem even colder. I got back inside and fed the woodstove. A nice hot bed of coals lit new logs quickly. Back to bed for a couple of hours. I sure hope everyone else is sleeping.” 2:45:47 AM 12/08/05 “Hey Skiracer, it's only 4:53 here and I can't sleep anylonger, rainin like crazy and about 34 here. Good Morning, now for coffee” 5:02:13 AM 12/08/05 “5:00 a.m. here and zero degrees. I got up to finish packing and start my trip to Madison. It will be interesting spending the winter around people...family people that is. I won't be posting as often while gone since my brother doesn't have a pc. That being so, all you folks have a Merry Christmas.” 5:12:10 AM 12/08/05 “Well, since I got my coffee, the wife's still sleeping, and I got nothing better to do I'll itinerary: get wife off to work, shower, dress, take my "trail buddy" (remember the pics?) down to the trail maintenance shed at Sam Houston National Forest office near Huntsville, Tx., visit the girls in the office, drop over to the starting spot that E.T. and I will be hitting on the 27th for our 50 miler to see if there is a kindly person who lives close to that section who will let me park the clunker at for the hike. Not much, but that ought to take up a few hours today. Who knows, maybe I'll run into Gumby and Pokey, I heard they were passing thru on the Lone Star Hiking Trail this month on their way to Big Bend. I wanna hear the story about that chick and the gum Pokey took her.................” 5:14:08 AM 12/08/05 “Have a Merry Christmas Nimblefoot. Enjoy the peeps and food and stuff. See ya when ya get back (in the meantime, leave the key under that rock by your front door). Oh, and where ya stash the spirits? For....medicinal purposes mind ya...........” 5:16:43 AM 12/08/05 “Good morning. I'm up. Rain woke me. Need to make coffee and read the morning newspapers on the Web. Nibblefoot - As I read your "It will be interesting spending the winter around people...family people that is." I could not help but wonder about their feelings. I'm sure you'll be welcome, but for how long? Once it gets to be "old hat," ? I hope it goes well. Chappy - You best be careful visiting those girls in the office. That could become more dangerous than being exposed to wild animals along the trail! Have a great day, folks.” 5:56:50 AM 12/08/05 “I never dreamed it would be so cold in Lower Alabama...I have had ice on my car 4 times already and winter is not even here yet.....sheesh....... ...a nice hot cup of coffee and FINALLY I can get my computer to work.......life is good...... ...hugs to all...what have I missed??????” 6:13:46 AM 12/08/05 “Nowslimmer, they're pretty harmless and a good buncha girls too. On the 27th-30th I'll be the wild animal, at least I'll smell like one.” 6:15:41 AM 12/08/05 “.......big warm hug, Div.......” 6:16:40 AM 12/08/05 “thanks for WARM hugs...LOL... ...I had to go across the Mobile Bay yesterday........we were in a neighborhood on the bay.....I saw homes with the first floor washed away and full of storm surge debris and folks in FEMA trailers.....so sad...now they find out they may not be allowed to rebuild.....and they still have morgages to pay.... ....I am blessed....” 6:29:34 AM 12/08/05 “Div. I have seen alot of FEMA trailers in the woods around here (Rita). There are still communities east of here on the La. border or close that don't have electric yet. I only had to endure it for four days and it was bad in the 100 degree heat, but now it's 34 and rainy. Hopefully most of em have gone to relatives to stay but you never know....these country folks are pretty set in their ways.” 6:33:09 AM 12/08/05 “The temp is dropping here.........East Texas, get ready...” 7:09:23 AM 12/08/05 “Low pressure coming from Missouri (thank you Missouri!!) and bringing 6-8 inches of snow tonight!!! WOOOOHOOOOO! I hope Birch gets a snow day tomorrow. Woke up to 6°. It's a wopping ten now. We're starting off a bit cold this winter.

Maryville, TN, 35°F. --> 41°F. Cold; intervals of clouds and sunshine this morning, then periods of rain this afternoon. Homeowners fear flood from eroding dam” 8:41:03 AM 12/08/05 “HEY!!!

Don't see that it will do any good. The forecasters sure blew it yesterday on the Chicago area snow forecast. If they had been more accurate, perhaps that plane from Baltimore would have been diverted elsewhere and that young boy killed near Midway Airport might still be alive. Just perhaps. last edited: 12/09/05 8:00:43 AM” 7:57:52 AM 12/09/05 “well im off too. i think it is up to 4 inches and it is still snowing can you sing "slip slidding away"” 8:23:24 AM 12/09/05 “Wow, that was weird.
