7 Inches
That's the projected snowfall over the next 24 hours.
Pervs.
Western South Dakota is currently blanketed by over 30 inches of the white stuff. With winds blowing at 20-40 mph it makes for a nasty white-out.
Ground is white, sky is white and it's all white in between. Think of Little House on the Prairie and the rope that ran between the barn and the house. Blizzard shit.
Hello Winter! Bring it on, Bitch!

| You Should Live in a Purple State |
 You may not be a swing voter, but you feel comfortable around moderate people. You tend to do best in states with a red and blue mix - like Nevada and North Carolina. You are adaptable. You can converse with a church crowd as easily as with grad students. |
Friday Fires
Fridays are supposed to be relaxing and go smoothly. The perfect entrance to a rather relaxing weekend.
Blow that for a lark.
I spent the first three hours at work this morning putting out administrative bullshit fires. People that want to change the rules so that they work less even if it does disaccommodate others. People that can't seem to realize that most of us are intelligent enough to recognize bullshit when it comes our way. People that think they are King of the World (even though they've got a REALLY tiny scepter).
And then there's Verizon Wireless. 'Nuf said.
It's pheasant season (I can hear all my local readers saying "No shit Sherlock!") and there are some really yummy-nummy hunters in town. With big guns.
I wonder what the record time for getting a hunter out of his carharts happens to be? (And Mr. Owl says "Let's find out. One...two...three...)
In a typical display of Humbuggery I'm playing Not-at-Home for trick or treaters tonight. There aren't any children in my neighborhood and I refuse to pander to the Minivan-driving parents who bring their boistrous brood into my neighborhood in search of the "good" candy.
Unless, of course, they happen to be Yummy-Nummy Hunters. Then I'll take the Trick, please.

It says something about childhood obesity that I'm seeing an increasing number of gallbladders that have been resected from 14-17-year-olds. And they already have gallstones or heavy duty cholesterolosis.
I think America has forgotten how to cook healthy meals.
Ever notice how people tend to fall into two categories? The "Oh, that's a pain." and the "Oh, that's a pain in the ASS."
I'm definitely in the latter category. How about you all?
Random
I am very happy to know that the Fraud Squad at the originating institution from which I get one of my credit cards is really on the ball attempting to protect me from Fraud.
I am also mildly annoyed when they prohibit a purchase because they think potential fraud is taking place.
Look at the spending history folks. I only use that card (Amazon Visa) to make purchases from Amazon.com. The purchases take place on about a 4-6 month interval. The amount of purchase is pretty routine.
Enough rant. Especially since it's all about me.
Just for fun...
TGIF
My cleaning lady flooded my bathroom yesterday. Everything should be dry by this afternoon.
White chili and toasted cheese sandwiches for dinner tomorrow night. It may be cold and dreary outside but I'll warm up my peeps on the inside.
I relented and turned on the furnaces. It's now a toasty 62F in my house and the cat has stopped complaining...about the temperature.
Have a nice, safe and warm weekend!
It's a Gas Gas Gas...
Today was the hospital Chili Cookoff. Your's truly didn't enter the contest do to time constraints.
As I sat down and sampled various chilis ($2 bottom-less bowl) I was struck by an interesting thought.
Roughly 50 hospital employees wandered through to try out the goodies.
50 hospital employees consuming bean laden edibles.
50 hospital employees that presumably have functioning colons.
50 hospital employee colons containing gas producing bacteria.
There could be Malodorous Mayhem on the patient floors.
I just hope nobody causes a spark.
