Cherokees just scored again!!!!! 33-19 now with under two minutes to go.

This makes me incredibly happy!! I still know some of those boys and seeing them turn that team around like this is just incredible!

This is all I know about magnesium - it burns real hot. And don't even think about putting a little water on it.
This moron must have failed the Firefighter I class. Yo - engines are made from magnesium and aluminum, dude!

My biggest fear is not the snow, but the jammin id-dee-ots that can't jammin drive in nice weather.

And this city is just CRAWLING with THOSE people!

And then there are the others that drive 5 MPH in a 50 zone becaue the radio said "snow." One jammin flake and they slam on the brakes. STAY HOME!

I'm sure you only venture out if you absolutely have to. I tend to stay home but will go out if I need to. We are "essential" employees which means management will say "Yeah, it's snowing. Get your a$$ to the Emergency Operations Center."

We get the SUV drivers who think they are invincible.

Two years ago, we had a really bad storm that hit in the afternoon. The college, of course, waited until the last minute to close, so by the time we were finally released, it was getting dark and starting to really accumulate. It took me AN HOUR just to get off campus (it's not that big.) By the time I got to the highway, it was rush hour and traffic was at a crawl, which was fine with me because the roads were pretty bad. About 2/3 the way home, my nerves were fried and I got off the highway where there was a big gas station and also a possible alternate route. I immediately saw that the route (a smaller road, not a highway) was in bad shape, so I just stopped at the gas station, used the bathroom, got some tea, and headed back onto the highway.

Well, there must have been an accident or something because I got onto the highway exactly where I left it but suddenly, there was hardly any traffic. The ramp and highway were uphill at that point, and I saw SUVs strewn across the road, stuck. Me and my little two-door base model Chevy with its manual transmission just puttered in second gear past all of them and kept going. It was nerve-wracking after that because the plows hadn't been able to get through and I couldn't even see the lines on the road.

I knew I'd be okay once I left the highway because my town is awesome about clearing the roads, and sure enough, they were fine.

Took me four hours to drive home. The first thing I did was take two back-to-back shots of whisky and then I took a loooooooong hot shower.

So, Lenny:

Do you just take magnesium supplements? I haven't looked up SAM-e yet; I'll do that when this game is over. But is that something in addition to the magnesium?

 

[snowbear99]

Even if there were an emergency with a family member, my brother or sister would come pick me up because they know I hate to drive.

I'd take you.

When Miriam worked for Public Works & Transportation, she made a point to know the inspector for our area; our street ALWAYS got plowed first!

My buddies and I nearly blew up a lab room in high school with magnesium. Well, technically the magnesium strips were just used to light the other ingredients on fire.

Oh, I know - four wheel drive enables you to get stuck in inaccessible places! The first thing you have to do when you get a 4-wheeler, is find out the limitations - the vehicles and yours.

Yeah, it's funny. Nothing around me gets plowed until all the primary and secondary routes are cleared--even my street, just about 500 feet further down, doesn't get plowed. But the section where I am, and where the bus runs, is including in the first pass of roads to clear.

Game over; South Doyle wins. And I admit it, I cried a little bit. Very happy for those kids. First undefeated season, and first district championship in many years--most of these kids probably weren't even BORN the last time this school had a season like that.

Now on to playoffs!

 

[snowbear99]

Yes, the same thing here - primary roads first, then the connector streets; the subdivisions are the last.

My first year at high school we took the Metro Conference title. When I was a senior, our record was 2-8-0.

Dinner was nice. Then we walked amongst the shoppes down to the beach.
