    The weather forecast is for 2-4 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday April 1st which is the 20th anniversary
    of the April Fools’ blizzard of 1997 in which we received 25-30 inches of snow.

    That's crazy I've never seen anything like that before. An earthquake for sure could collapse an interstate but a fire?

    Yes.

    It was burning spools of pvc cable for fiber optics.

    That's how it's been here. We skipped from long sleeves to tank tops without even having tee shirt weather!

    We are thinking of packing a picnic lunch and exploring some dirt trails in the morning some time. Time to get off road and get her dirty. :) learn some things. I might googles some "beginner 4WD trails" around our areas.

    Atlanta traffic has been screwed for decades!

    They arrested 3 people involved with starting the fire. I think they're homeless but I don't know why the one started the fire yesterday afternoon. Maybe he was trying to cook.

    This is what burned:

    they were HDPE -- high-density polyethylene -- pipes. He said the conduits are used in the "traffic management, cabling, fiber-optic and wire network."

    The material had been stored there "for some time, probably since 2006 or (2007)," http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/us/atlanta-interstate-85-fire-collapse/index.html

    I talked to my neighbor tonight and he's going to replace a brake rotar and pads tomorrow on my car.

    He told me that he'd do it for free because I'm his neighbor but I told him I'm giving him $40.

    He's a really nice, 65 year old, guy.

    When you look up the number of fires over the last decade that were started by the homeless in the United States it’s staggering, including a number of fires that resulted in multiple civilian deaths and to firefighters.

    It was usually the result of squatting although many have been attributed to arson as in the case of I-85

    Beautiful Sunny Autumn Saturday Here.......Bought A Pizza For Lunch And Had A Glass Or Two

    Of My Fave Wine.

    At About 2-00pm Had To Ring The Police When A Mob Of My Neighbours Cattle Broke Down

    The Fence And Then Decided To Walk Along The Middle Of The Road.

    No Problem, Until A Car Came Along And Missed The Big Black Bull By Inches...... :yikes:



    Cheers Glen.

    It seems like the neighbor isn't going to get to my brake job today. Fuck, why did you tell me you were going to do it today?

    The neighbor that died from lung cancer was buried today.

    I didn't go to her funeral. I left a big hanging basket of these roses at her house while they were gone to the funeral.
