TOD:

Thankfully, I've been able to avoid extreme bad weather.

When  I was about eight or nine in Seattle, there were a couple of snowstorms that forced the schools to close for 2 days.  But, that didn't bother us kids.  We spent the days sledding down the hill in front of our house.

Then, there was the major lightning storm that Steve Kanaly and I flew through on our way back from Chicago to Los Angeles.  But, that's about it.
Title: Re: MOVING RIGHT ALONG
Post by: Druxy on January 27, 2015, 04:42:52 AM
I don't know what's happening with our mostly 5-6 year old appliances in our house.

About a year ago, the microwave died.  Just before Christmas, out big screen television, which was about 12 years old, passed away.

Two or three weeks ago, we had a major repair on the washing machine.

And yesterday, the condenser on our refrigerator went out.

And VIXMOM, there's something in Downtown Disney we might be dropping around for later.  It's really too bad our schedules (pronounced the British way, if you don't mind) are so tight, because a mini-HHW Florida get-together would have been wonderful!

Good morning, all!  The alarm rang an hour and a half ago, but I slept in.  It was too quiet outside to not sleep in.

As to the storm, we got a Big 5.5 or so inches of snow. The news is apologizing this morning.

NIGHT WILL FALL was interesting and informative.  As always, the film taken by the British and American troops [and some Russian] was most difficult to watch.

A few minutes of color film was included.  The story of the abandoned documentary and the involvement of Alfred Hitchcock was very interesting.

IF you are a student of the era....you should watch the film.  We are getting to the point where there will be no more eyewitnesses to this history, so it is good that people are telling their experiences.

There was also more in this documentary about what happened to the people who survived the camps in the next few months that followed, that I am sad to say I never even really thought about....

Certainly more than worth seeing....and thinking about.

TOD: I remember one night back when I was in high school that it snowed 17 inches and I had to get out to deliver the newspaper. Well, in Louisville, that was enough snow to prevent the paper from getting to me until around 8 am. Paper was supposed to be delivered by 6 am. People called the house to complain and they didn't like being told that I couldnt deliver what I didn't have. I then had to trudge through the snow to deliver those papers.

School, of course, was canceled. So was the mail. But I had to deliver the afternoon paper, too.

The news coverage of the "blizzard" was an all time nadir if such a thing is possible.  The apology is, perhaps, a first?  The people who went crazy buying "emergency" supplies for what was supposed to last twenty-four hours tops, should be ashamed of themselves, but alas, they aren't.

I recall buying the last, or 2nd to last carton of milk before a storm.  What I purchased was usually just what I needed for the amount of time before I expected to get to the market again.  You didn't want to stock up too much on foods that would go bad if power was lost.  Of course, in that kind of cold the outdoors worked just fine as a frig, as long as you made sure to get the food back in the house before the temps warmed up.  Once we had ants.

I just listened to three great Kern songs:
Cinderella Sue from BK's release of the "Centennial Summer" soundtrack
Long Ago and Far Away
Poor Pierrot

A little depressed today. I found out that the man who was the minister at my church when I moved to San Antonio has been moved this week to a facility for the care of Alzheimer's patients. He was very nice to me as a newcomer, and his family included me and number of other members in family gatherings over the years. It's been sad to see him in decline over the past year and to learn that his wife, a nurse, can no longer care for him.

He had been the first minister that the congregation had called back in 1985. We're gearing up to celebrate the church's 40th anniversary this spring and had hoped he'd be a part of the event.

I now doubt that I will ever see him again.

Had I been at home I would have been one of those stocking up on a least a week's worth of supplies. Living in an area where all the electric wires are above ground hung from telephone poles where there are lots of oak trees and maple trees with heavy limbs. I have seen too many instances over the years where a branch falls and takes out a transistor or a car slides on an icy road and takes down a pole and as a result a neighborhood loses electricity for days.  I remember in January 1996 when the stores couldn't open for days for lack of electricity and even if they could have the delivery trucks could not make it to them.   Weather can only be predicted to a point it is not an exact science and I would rather be over prepared than underprepared. So it was not 3 feet that fell "only" a foot.   Considering that less than 3 inches virtually paralyzed Georgia and South Carolina a year ago this week I think the warnings were within reason

A few minutes of color film was included.  The story of the abandoned documentary and the involvement of Alfred Hitchcock was very interesting.

IF you are a student of the era....you should watch the film.  We are getting to the point where there will be no more eyewitnesses to this history, so it is good that people are telling their experiences.

There was also more in this documentary about what happened to the people who survived the camps in the next few months that followed, that I am sad to say I never even really thought about....

Certainly more than worth seeing....and thinking about.


George, if you taped this last night; would it be possible to get a copy??

Today is the 130th birthday of Jerome Kern, who died far too young at the age of 60.

Take a moment and listen to one of his songs or scores today.


I recommend ROBERTA!

The news coverage of the "blizzard" was an all time nadir if such a thing is possible.  The apology is, perhaps, a first?  The people who went crazy buying "emergency" supplies for what was supposed to last twenty-four hours tops, should be ashamed of themselves, but alas, they aren't.

Had I been at home I would have been one of those stocking up on a least a week's worth of supplies. Living in an area where all the electric wires are above ground hung from telephone poles where there are lots of oak trees and maple trees with heavy limbs. I have seen too many instances over the years where a branch falls and takes out a transistor or a car slides on an icy road and takes down a pole and as a result a neighborhood loses electricity for days.  I remember in January 1996 when the stores couldn't open for days for lack of electricity and even if they could have the delivery trucks could not make it to them.   Weather can only be predicted to a point it is not an exact science and I would rather be over prepared than underprepared. So it was not 3 feet that fell "only" a foot.   Considering that less than 3 inches virtually paralyzed Georgia and South Carolina a year ago this week I think the warnings were within reason

I agree.  It is better to be prepared than caught without enough food or any way to get some.  I do try to keep cans of foods to survive on for short periods if needed.  We lost power, water, and heat too often.  I should keep more water here as no power, no water.

The Vixter is still valiantly  trying to clear our three car driveway by herself. She said she was only able to clear enough to get vixdads car out so she took that to work today

She ended up being sent home because of lack of business as the roads are so icy no one is going out to dinner

How much snow did she get?

Our church president lives in the house directly behind my mom's they share a fence between their back yards.  Her husband and grandson very kindly cleared my mom's walkways and driveway

I always appreciated someone rescuing me when Keith wasn't home, still I have shoveled plenty.  In Massachusetts we lived on the corner at the bottom of the hill.  The snow plow would push the snow around the corner completely blocking our driveway with about 4 feet of solid snow.

Not talking about rural areas and at no point was this thing supposed to last more than twenty-four hours.  In the end, they shut down a major city for six inches of snow.  And that's not even the point - the point is the media creating unnecessary frenzies and then walking away when they don't happen.

That sort of thing happened here in December with a "Big" rain storm.  Nothing really happened - but schools were closed, people stayed home from work etc.   The week after we had a wind storm that was bigger than what was predicted the week before... everything operated as normal.

In Florida you'd see the same whenever a hurricane was forecast, whether it developed or not. I always wondered what those people fighting over the last cans of sauerkraut did with the stuff.
