A competition of worded writings, I cannot approach. Good attitude, buddy!

Been raining in Homer and A.P. all day, continues to rain, snow pack is declining rapidly. Been having high winds most of the day and expected to last the duration of the night. Temperatures remained above freezing last night, 40+ degrees today and not expected to freeze tonight. However, my ice skating rink is in good shape and much larger than yours. It extends from our parking lot to the Old Strerling Highway and has a great slope going up to the upper level parkjing lot. A great place to try downhill skating. Not that I am going to try, but it is polished to the point that you could skate on it. As soon as I hear the first running water into the HITW I will post you, that is sure sign of spring.Stan Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473861389583701859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16791920.post-77144411494770380332008-02-19T21:57:00.000-09:002008-02-19T21:57:00.000-09:00J.D.Plumma must be going without sleep or he awoke...J.D.Plumma must be going without sleep or he awoke from a nap and couldn't go outside to play so he started to write. Was it not you that defined the word "verbose" to me? Perhaps, this is the longest blog that you have made, I will research it and go back through the archives. "Green",one of those buzz words that make me grit my teeth! I go green every summer by planting flowers, shrubs and berry bushes! That is as green as I will get. I do not want a car that I can not sit comfortably in nor one that will make a nice hood orament on the hood of the Mack Truck. I do nto want to have to go home and plug in my car and increase my electrical bill by $15.00 to save $10.00 worth of gas. I hit the acceleratror, I want to be doing 85 mpg in a matter of seconds, not having to look for a hill to go down to pick up enough speed to pass a car. I like my gasoline, let the "Green movement" save their gas and I will use it. I remember a good number of years ago, the diesel engine appeared in cars and trucks. Fuel effiecincy and costs, everyone rushed out and bought a diesel, now they have changed the diesel fuel so you need to put an additive in the older englines before you use it. The cost has exceeded gas. My second pet peeve, next to "Green" is the diesel drivers that think they are long haul truck drivers and leave their Chevrolet F150 in the parking lot with the engine running or better rattling. I want to drive down the highway in silence so I can meditate or listen to my favorite Barry Mannalow 8 Track withut hearing those funny little things going up and down in the engine compartment. If I wanted that much noise when I drive, I would buy a capterpillar. No, I am going to drive under the power of gas and just perhaps, someday the "greenies" will permit us to develop the vast reservoirs of gas that we have access to and allow some new refineries to be built. Now, my one exception, I will switch from Gasoline just as soon as they develop an engine the size of a V-8 that is nuclear powerd. As for the plastic water and soft drink bottles - there is a good use for them and I will continue to work on that. That will be my contribution to mankind, perhaps it will earn me the Novbbel Peace Prize, worked for Egor.Stan Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473861389583701859noreply@blogger.com
