Calamity Kris

Must be from southern Germany or the state of Bavaria. That's where my relatives are from.........

Come on down this way and thaw out. At least we don't have fainting iguanas here...........

Glad to see you back, UB. Been a bit too quiet here without you. Hope you are well and all is good in your world.

I hope the events this image indicates didn't come to fruition. This the camera for the Mt. Wilson observatory in CA, outside of Pasadena. The picture was taken at 3:00 am yesterday.

I've been following him on IG for a while. Good dude.

IF you are so inclined, this month's Fire Department Coffee bundle supports the Orange County Fire Authority Benevolent Fund. Their coffee is really top notch and the FD Association they are featuring is close to my heart. More on the Benevolent Fund. This notice is for information only. I am not intending to solicit in any way.

We have friends and family not too far from the fires. We're keeping in close touch with them. Prayers they won't need to evacuate.

Thanks for the tip. My glass cook top has one burner that suddenly decided to become insanely hot. It never used to do that. I will have to see if the repair guy can come out and look at it.....

A fun little ditty.

Port St. Lucie is fairly close to where I live. We'll have to see if we can catch a Cards pre-season game this year.

I like them quite a bit. They also work well as poultry sheers, AS LONG AS I CAN KEEP UNO FROM CUTTING PACKAGING WITH THEM........

Mine do. Only a couple of years old. https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Pull-Apart-Kitchen-Shears-5558-1/dp/B00K8503NQ?pd_rd_w=OqefH&content-id=amzn1.sym.ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_p=ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_r=HESFET9Y858324H69HZZ&pd_rd_wg=HaARn&pd_rd_r=76c92dd0-ac5f-4717-805b-519c1fb2c468&ref_=sspa_dk_detail_1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Yes, even we're expecting temperatures to be at or below freezing here. Rumor is the iguana's will die before falling out of the trees................Watch out Miami..........

When I moved to St. Louis by myself in 2013, I knew I was going to get my CCW and a pistol for my protection. I lived in a marginal area and wanted to make sure I could handle my own. I won't bore you with morons who tried to sell me a gun so big and heavy you couldn't conceal it in a duffel bag, or the clowns that treated me like I was inexperienced and had no idea how to shoot or what I needed. Let it suffice to say I finally found a gun shop that listened to me and treated me with politeness and respect. I purchased a couple of handguns from them for that very reason.

Additionally, those riding outfits are made of POLYESTER, aka petroleum. They may be vegan and rainbow, but they missed the trifecta.
