More bullshit from another asshole with a blog

Not, it’s not May

52.jpg This picture shows a temperature of 55°F at 6:10pm on January 21, 2005. We’ve been breaking records all around the Pacific Northwest for the past week, as a jetstream dips over Hawaii and makes almost a straight line to Puget Sound. It’s been bringing us these unseasonably warm temperatures… and flooding. The skiiers are pretty pissed about it, too.

To put in in perspective, as I write this entry it’s 57°F in Atlanta, Georgia, 53°F in El Paso, Texas, 53°F in Las Vegas, Nevada, and 59°F in San Diego, California. I have to laugh at the irony of this warm weather. This "heat wave" in January is probably better barbecuing weather than we get on July 4th and Labor Day!

Let it snow
15Jan05

50.jpg51.jpg It started out as sleet, and as the temperature dropped, it turned into snow. Whidbey Islanders who have been watching the news lately have seen footage of snow falling in and around Whatcom county (to the north) for the past couple days. Now the snow is falling on us. But, I don’t think it will stick around very long. According to the news, there’s a warm front headed our way, and by tonight or tomorrow morning (1/16/05), the precipitation should be all rain as the temperatures start to climb.

A coulple hours later, the snow continues to fall here at a good rate. I took these pictures of the snow out my front door with my cellphone just after the Steelers tied the Jets, 17-17. (about 10 after 4:00pm). It’s really starting to accumulate. I was going to do some grocery shopping after the game, but the snow has changed my plans. I guess I’ll call Papa John’s pizza for dinner tonight.

How do you think he got so rich?

47.jpg Yeah, okay. I’d bet good money it’s a rented limo, but I found it funny that a stretch limo would fuel up at a 7-Eleven. There’s a Shell station and a Texaco station in town… take the limo there! Hell, there’s even an ARCO AM-PM I’d buy gas at before 7-Eleven!

I compare buying gas at a 7-Eleven to buying sneakers at K-Mart! C’mon, everyone remembers Mom buying Trax. Sneakers from K-Mart was closest thing to a scarlet letter for school kids of my day — guarranteed to get your ass kicked. But Mom didn’t care, she wasn’t about to spend $30 on Nike hi-tops. Anything but Converse All-Stars, Adidas, or Nikes were bobos, and no self-respecting kid wanted to wear bobos to school!
