Longjohn ★ Posted November 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2018 Feel free to add to the list. Winter is stupid. I like colors, bright colors, blue sky green grass and trees, red, yellow, orange, purple flowers. This is what we have today. Do you see any color there? I might as well just use black and white film, it’s cheaper. Oh wait, I don’t use film anymore. Anyhow cold weather sux. I told Petite to keep it out there but she doesn’t listen. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could call it "Ski & Fat Bike Season" instead of Winter, and it would sky rocket in popularity. I do find it funny that the season when folks are most likely to slip and fall is not the one called "Fall". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to admit that the older I get, the more I can tolerate summer. I like all the seasons though. Winter and late fall are both hibernation season, which I can dig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is getting them ready for the Yukon Quest. I got to drive them at the end of September. Mine grin too. 2 weeks ago. 34 degrees. I was telling him "on by" but he still was very interested in what the photographer was doing laying on a tarp in the mud. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laid back people with active, dominant dogs is never going to work out. And taking a Pug out running is nothing but cruel. If people want a dog they should consider the the dogs habits, and their lifestyle, and if there is any overlap. I always had active dogs, I was young and active, if I got lazy the dog would give me that little kick in the butt to get up & get going. Maybe now I need a semi-active dog. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share #40 Posted November 16, 2018 It was just on the news that the speed limits have been restored on Mercer county interstates. Good luck with that. PennDOT has restored speed limit on two interstates in Northwest Pennsylvania. Because of Thursday's severe weather, speeds were reduced to 45 mph on Interstate 80 and Interstate 376 in Mercer and Venango counties. Normal speed limits are now in place.

It is funny when I hear people in souther CA talk about going to Palm Springs because it is beautiful, it really isn't at all. It is disgusting monochromatic brown the plant life and brown earth match and it looks like dry poo.

MickinMD ★ Posted November 17, 2018 Share #48 Posted November 17, 2018 I don't like winter either. I tell people that if reincarnation is a real thing, I probably lived on the Equator in my past life. If I didn't have extensive family in the Mid Atlantic States, I'd probably move to Florida, Southern California, or maybe even a Caribbean Island or along the Mediterranean (I speak French well enough to get by in France).

Tizeye Posted November 17, 2018 Share #49 Posted November 17, 2018 I don't like winter because: 1) I don't get any snow 2) mow the yard year round (just did today) 3) Go to the beach in January and all the improper clothing - women are wearing bikinis. 4) No excuses NOT to ride a bike. You can't blame the weather when you don't feel like it. and the list goes on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
