Bob Wood is 81 yrs old. He had dropped off an amp for repairs at the shop and when he returned decided to test it.

It is SO cold here today. It's windy and freezing. We are supposed to get a snowstorm on Tuesday. Winter is still in full swing here!

I have been watching the storm develop--looks like Big Black Dog and saveliberty and our other upper mid westerners are catching it now or will be soon, and its all headed straight into your area. Meanwhile the crocus, daffodils and early tulips are up and blooming here, all the trees have budded and many are showing spring green. Absolutely gorgeous shirt sleeve weather which is going to make it even more brutal as we are almost certain to have at least one more winter blast.

 

[Montrovant]

Ahh! It's 3:11 AM. I have to get to sleep! Nightie night!

I think, it's better, than don't have time shift Medvedev cancelled it here some years ago, and now he's called as "Master of Darkness"... Because winter mornings became completely dark

Our state legislature debated it this year whether to make daylight savings time year round here. I would have voted for it because like Kat, my body takes forever to adjust to a new sleep schedule, but they eventually decided it wouldn't be wise for New Mexico businesses for our time to be different than all other states for several months out of the year.

You'd be the same time as....I think it's Arizona that doesn't do the time change?

We are the same time zone as Arizona when we're on standard time during the winter. We are an hour later than Arizona during DST because Arizona doesn't go on DST but stays on standard time year round. Except for the Navajo reservations that cover a lot of Arizona DO go on DST. Duirng the spring and summer months, we in New Mexico have to really think about what time it is in Arizona even though we are both Mountain time zone states.

Something I posted to FaceBook:

We all have a bunch of friends who love us as long as our cash holds out, and a few who would buy us a pack of smokes when we're broke, but I have friends that will take several hours from their day to load my help-less ass in a van, drive me home and carry me in the house.
I have friends who will drop everything to come and find my lost lighter or make me a cup of coffee.
Hell I have a friend that will stop everything and empty a half liter of pee from my urinal and not lose her place in the conversation.

I am blessed!


Today I got someone in to shampoo my hair. I believe the last of the concrete dust is out.

You've been hurt!?! Been a long time since I was here. Hope you're on the mend, Ernie. Sounds awful, except for the friends you seem to humbly appreciate though you no doubt deserve them.
Keep on keeping on.

Hi O.L. Ernie will probably check in to answer for himself, but he recently had a really bad broken leg/knee requiring extensive surgical repair and will be laid up for some time.

Apparently one of the good things to come out of the leg break was your visit here. Try not to be so hard on us and stick around.

I haven't been paying attention. Maybe 3-5"?

 

[gallantwarrior]

Tried to find a wiccan/magik/hippie shop today here and nope...not a one. Housemate said there used to be one, but the lady was hounded out by the christians that dominate this little village. So....no place to buy essential oils, incense, crystals, tarot cards, books about reincarnation, etc unless I drive to Chico. He also said his friend's niece is debating on opening such a shop but is hesitant due to what happened to the last lady. I said "tell her to do it. I will shop there and I will help her if she wants me to".

I think there are more churches here than the whole of california. Every street has a church from what I have seen.
Which is fine. But dayum! To deliberately run this lady off for selling "devil stuff" is mind boggling.

Things always change with time. There's a quaint village hereabouts, Talkeetna. Back in the 60' and 70's, it was settled by a bunch of New Age hippie-types. Fact forward to now, the hippies who founded Talkeetna are the "fathers and mothers", and yes, the church-going, stalwart Christians who resounding condemn the exuberance of the young.

I don't like daylight saving time, but it's always seemed odd to me that Arizona would be the state to decide not to use it. Hawaii or Alaska seem likelier candidates, not sharing a border with any other states which would use different time.

I Hate DST and for many years living in Indiana and Hawaii never had to mess with it...

Amazon sells everything. I got a book on reincarnation from them and another one on what happens in the afterlife between lives. Am I going to get banned?

Not to start a discussion about it, because that would be outside coffee shop rules. But I just wondered if the book you got was called 'life in the world unseen'

I have 3 books by Michael Newton, Memories of the Afterlife, Journey of Souls, and Destiny of Souls. Something to ponder. Also have a book about reincarnation that I can't find right now (we recently moved), when cases of reincarnation were investigated. Weird stuff when a kid can remember places he's never been or people he never met.

Welcome to the Coffee Shop task0778. I see you're from the Texas Hill Country and you should fit in quite nicely with the folks here. Hope you enjoy USMB and make your Coffee Shop your refuge from the more rough stuff out on the other threads and forums. Be sure to read over the OP to see what we're all about in the Coffee Shop and join right in.

Newcomers to the Coffee Shop receive a complimentary beverage, and since it is approaching midnight in your part of the world, we'll make yours a night cap:

Thanks, it's been a long day today. Hopefully I can engage in dialogue with somebody without getting too bent out of shape about whatever.

We all try really hard not to get bent out of shape in the Coffee Shop. It has happened. But never anything really serious.

Hawaii is the only other state beside Arizona that doesn't go to DST. I think I read somewhere that there are a few counties here and there that refused to go with it too--maybe Ridgerunner's Indiana is one of those states that way?

I like it light late, but hate how it drags me down adjusting to it. The one in the Fall is not so bad.

Like your Avy Foxy!

I believe there is a lot we don't understand. It's good to keep an open mind.
