8:03 am

Scrabbler

The snow is great for snowsports. I live across the valley from a ski center and the park next door has cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails.

8:04 am

hokie carla

I guess if I had to be cold that sounds nice.

8:04 am

MollyL

I would consider 48 balmy. We are at 25 and only going up to 29

hello again

9:45 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

9:47 am

cybernan

some terrible stormss down south this past week -- I hope none of you or any of our players have been affected by them.

9:51 am

therealblah

yeah this week kind of sucked (dallas TX)

9:53 am

therealblah

power out for 3 days, no heat in house, then a burst pipe flooding my house, now no water...

10:00 am

cybernan

oh blah -- so sorry to hear you are in that mess.

10:01 am

cybernan

do you have power back now?

10:03 am

therealblah

yes power and heat is back - yay!

10:04 am

therealblah

plus the outside temp is getting back to "normal" - that is, 50-60 (f) rather than 10-15 daytime highs

10:05 am

cybernan

I guess we have to get used to the weather extremes unless the word can get together and slow down global warming.

10:06 am

hurshy

even then, it will get worse for awhile before it starts to level off...

10:06 am

hurshy

so then you have to be prepared for all the people saying "we're taking these extreme measures on climate change and it's not even working!"

10:07 am

hurshy

anyone have the second co7? (7/32)

10:08 am

cybernan

Do we have to remind them that it was 125 years of neglect that got us to this point?

10:09 am

therealblah

Probably. At least our current pres acknowledges the problem and is taking steps to address it

10:09 am

hurshy

if they think hillary clinton was part of a satanic pedophilic cabal, i'm not sure such reminders are any use

10:09 am

therealblah

hah good point

10:10 am

hurshy

oho i just remembered the co7 from past grids and got it

10:11 am

hurshy

add a vowel and then a 4 letter word for a location

the business about bringing a 75 YO and getting your own shot made MA a laughingstock

8:19 pm

Trifioso

Im so angry at how badly MA has bungled this

HarryHood

I'm thinking a federal mandate about teachers soon. Biden seems sympathetic

8:20 pm
