I think the name says it all.

Re-watched this movie yesterday. I highly recommend it... superb cast and a biting story on prejudice today.

The gasline on my car emained frozen through Thursday. On Friday it warmed up to a whopping 40 degrees, and at long last my car started.

Riding public transportation three days in a row was a bit humbling, but educational. I met and talked with some very nice people during my journeys.

Having to walk nine blocks to get to the last bus-stop each day showed me that I'm still in pretty good shape. That makes this old codger smile.

Recieving several invitations for a ride home from work from fellow employees made me realize that I am blessed to have people think enough of me to offer.

All in all, it was a great experience. I learned. I grew. I am content.


chaio!

Well, It's gone from minus 12 to 6 above yesterday to 21 today. My car wouldn't start Monday or tuesday (ice in the gas line). Didn't work monday... the buses weren't running and I couldn't get a cab. Yesterday I rode the bus to work. You can't beat a ride from my house downtown, free transfer to another bus that dropped me off a block from my workplace... all for 50 cents! If the busses here ran late, I wouldn't drive my car Monday through Friday. I've suggested this more than once to the bus company. All they'd need at night would be some security on board. No changes yet... think I'll suggest it again. MUCH cheaper than driving!

Anyway, I caught a ride home from the supervisor. In a little while I'm going to try to start my car again. Keep your fingers crossed! lol If not today, it should start tomorrow or Friday for sure... it's supposed to be 40 degrees by then. Trust me, I'll be putting some gas-line anti-freeze in my tank soon!

For the last few days, I think this song is appropriate:

It is officially colder than a witches' tit in a brass bra here: minus 11 degrees outside, after 12 inches of snow yesterday and today (on top of 5 inches of snow Thursday). There is a snow drift frozen to the hood of my car, which won't start because the fuel line is frozen up.

Called the boss and there's no work to do today. I've already perved the net, so I'm going to watch a couple of movies and eat. If I get cabin feaver at any time I will simply stick my head out the front door for a quick cure! lol

This is the most positive spin I can come up with on the weather right now:


Too bad I don't have a warm woman here to spice things up.

Jayne Mansfield's Car. Watched it today. Good cast, good plot... worth a look!


Around here in the snow and bitter cold there's not much else to do. lol

Boss says no health insurance for employees.

Boss will fire you for being late.

Boss has WAY too many rules, all in his favor.

Boss owns the company, so he can do whatever he wants... I'm just trying to hang on for 5 more years until I can retire.

Boss...

This song's for YOU!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

xxoxoooxx!
