Last night we had yet another storm pass through, bringing along cooler temperatures.
In Texas.
In May.
INCONCEIVABLE!!!!
Yes, I know what the word means. I normally don’t mind cooler weather. But usually that’s reserved for about two weeks in late December. By May we should be scorching our lawns and dehydrating our petunias. This makes me moody, to the point of actually sharpening my machete in order to keep calm, people. Why? Because I ran out of pins to stick in the voodoo dolls, and can’t go out to get more until the wind dies down!
And don’t think my anger and moodiness don’t have a victim in mind. I picture a certain man, resembling perhaps a bear, maybe a pig, IYKWIMAITTYD. Just remember: voodoo is for those of us that are too good for anger management.
Ok, back to honing an edge or two. At least until the wind dies down π

Hey we are looking at the possibility of SNOW up here in the hinterlands of Northern Illinois. I think Spring (and the following Summer) are just figments of our collective imaginations. Oh, and Al Gore…you can take your Global Warming/Climate Change and park it where the sun don’t shine!!

Glad someone got my hint π

Saw a cartoon today- “Normally, when I get a blizzard in May, it’s from Dairy Queen!”
May 2nd, 2013 at 1:03 PM
Ain’t that the truth. Now I want a DQ Heath Chocolate Blizzard™….
May 2nd, 2013 at 1:04 PM
Grab one for me, too!
May 2nd, 2013 at 1:05 PM
I’m on it!
Once the wind dies down.
*keeps honing quietly*

Hey…while her at it, if I don’t mention how much I love cold weather, would it be possible so sneak a few more blades into your To Be Sharpened pile? Cool, thanks!!! ::surreptitiously adds hatchet, large assortment of pocket and sheath knives, kukri dagger, and Serenity’s butcher knife to lineup::

Under normal circumstances, I would fling these back at you. But I’ll let it slide. THIS time! π

Geez, I’d be thinking my prayers had been answered if I was back in Seguin right now.
No bit….er, complaining now when your working on the nth day in a row of 100Β°+ temps come August. π
wait a minute your Empress, I was only kidding…PLEASE, there is no need to test that newly, and nicely I might add, honed machete on a poor kitteh. *skeddadles back to the interwebs*
May 2nd, 2013 at 2:37 PM
HAHAHAHA!!!
I never complain about 100* weather. Ever π
May 2nd, 2013 at 4:49 PM
Asterick? you can do ‘alt 0176’? Β° Β° Β°
May 2nd, 2013 at 5:09 PM
Why, when * is easier to type?? π
May 2nd, 2013 at 4:00 PM
9th day in a row? 30th day in a row of 100+ is more like it. Anything above 60F sucks, though.
May 2nd, 2013 at 4:53 PM
that was nth day in a row RA, meaning undetermined. I’ve seen em string together, believe me. π
May 2nd, 2013 at 5:08 PM
Heretic π
May 2nd, 2013 at 6:47 PM
Heh. Sorry, but my cold, deadened heart doesn’t like the heat.
May 2nd, 2013 at 8:22 PM
I should not be able to see snow. Snow in the evenings happens when it is dark. By the time it is staying light until 8:30 I should not be seeing snow. This sucks.

I feel for you. I really do π
May 3rd, 2013 at 7:53 AM
Aggie, darlin’, if you promise to use acupuncture pins instead of the ones you used in the pick, I’ll send you a lock of my hair and you can work over my back via the voodoo doll. If you’d do that, I’d appreciate it very much.
May 3rd, 2013 at 7:59 AM
I use porcupine quills for acupuncture.
While still in the porcupine.
I don’t think you want my healing services π

Fuckin wind. Lost power for 3 hours last night.
May 3rd, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Yes, it’s awfully chilly for May in the South, and forecasts say this unseasonably cool weather may be with us for at least the rest of the month. But I’m not going to complain too much, not after the two hottest summers I ever experienced, summers that completely overwhelmed the A/C even though it ran almost nonstop for almost four months.

Dave, you must be mistaken. Manbearpig and his BFF Michael Mann and their followers will tell you that this is the hottest spring EVAH! The FACT that, globally, there has been no warming since 1996 is immaterial. The facts don’t count. The data doesn’t count. What counts is data manipulation, the consensus of the “scientists” who think like them, and the money they can make off of their scams.
