The Coffee House

[jcdeboever]

The thing is we've been bumping along with no savings and all since basically the end of 2009. This job while it doesn't pay a lot is only roughly 5.5 miles away. So I don't use much gas. Also I will be 58 in April.
My back is giving me some trouble.
I'm going to say I saw the add in Facebook and I really need the job. So if I'm doing something I shouldn't or not doing something I should I can change.
It could be a mistake in the Facebook post for all I know. God will do whatever he thinks is right.

God is not going to do it for you Dave... Your faith in Him is going to produce it. PM me if your really interested.

Today I was official photographer at an event celebrating 50 years of "Sternsinger-Aktion" in our parish. The woman on the right is the one who started it with her own kids 50 years and is active ever since.

What is it?

Children roam the quarter's doors, collect money for poor children and sing christmas carols, dressed as the three wise men from the Orient

It's a strange thing but in all the time I've lived in Germany there has always been one child with a blackened face - only this year not. I haven't seen one Melchior this time around.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is raining. Not hard yet, but that should be coming. Tons of flash-flood warnings in the burn areas.

Hopefully the rains will bring new growth to repair the devastation.

It's been doing something here. Not sure what, heard some ice/sleet/freezing rain late/early. The ice pack is starting to melt so there's that; schools were on delays because of the ice and by this morning everybody closed.

I heard a bird chirp. Once. Awfully quiet otherwise!

It's a balmy 29* F here today. We are expected to possibly break the freezing mark and reach.... wait for it.... 33*F! Rain coming at end of week after a light dusting today and tomorrow. On the plus side, I'm finally starting to feel better. I broke down over the weekend and raided my stash of Amoxicillin and that seems to have done the trick. Got a good night's sleep and raring to go today.

Unfortunately, some areas will receive up to six inches in 36 hours and as much of California, and in particular the burn areas, have a lot of up and down, the rains will potentially be more destructive than beneficial. The Weather Service is now calling a flash flood alert for all areas not just the burn areas. Because rain, on average, when it eventually comes isn't gentle here, flash flood warning are not unusual. A flash flood is more a river of mud than water. Gary has heard a flash flood coming in the upper deserts ... a low rumbling noise, much like a muffled locomotive. If you know that sound it is scary because you know you need to get to high ground but which high ground ... the noise is surrounding and enveloping, almost directionless. If you don't know that sound, it could be curtains if you're caught, death will come not from drowning but from slamming into downstream stuff, trees and boulders. During torrential storms in the '70's, Gary once witnessed s small herd of dead cows being rapidly swept downstream by a churny, foamy, chocolate brown river, legs stiff in the air, tumbling around as if they were bits of paper in the wind.

If the anti-bacterial agent worked, then it was more than a virus driven cold.

In the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times, (the Calendar section = entertainment), Tequila Patron took out a full page ad congratulating "Guillermo Del Toro's Latest Cinematic Creation Wasn't His Only Masterpiece Last Year. ... We are proud to call out partner and friend." Who knew? Great ad BTW- Done in a Day of the Dead motif. Los Angeles is very much a company town.

Finally warmed up enough to give the truck a much needed bath. The chemical, sand, grit, garbage we accumulated from our ice encounter in GA was terrible. Still have to do the Rv but it may have to wait as rain is coming in now. How people who live in snow country deal with the mess is beyond me, can't stand a dirty vehicle.

Do you remember "De Swarte Piet" discussing last year?

Maybe there is fear of discrimination?

I was only concerned that the wise men did not visit my house. Not enough children who take part anymore

High Water of the Rhine peaked today. First dry day since 7/Dec/17 today and it is getting colder. Both good antidote against the flood

Dave just got back from going back to the store to put the floor machine up and plug it in. I put it out to clean it before the milk man parked his truck in the door.
Washed it out while he was still there.
Got almost home and remembered it was out. Wouldn't have had enough battery to do the whole store had I not plugged it in.
As to the other thing. Maria who is a nice checker lady thinks someone shared that post. Trish who I report to doesn't know of any problem. My Sister says McClains posted the add. Kim who is one of the owners was standing there when Trish said I could go. She didn't say anything or look any different. So I don't really know anything else. I feel for California.
Mudslides can't be good.

They were just talking on the news about a snow plow tracker. I don't know, maybe it could help to see where the plows are (or aren't) but I don't know how much that will help, it's not going to get it to your house any faster! lol

Seems like a variation of Pacman, here it comes, going to gobble up the snow!

I can hear it's getting slushy. The brown truck was here and he said the roads aren't bad but sidewalks aren't so good, especially heading out of town into the country.

Either the virus ended coincidentally with the meds or it was a sinus infection - not unusual for me hence the hoarding of amox.

I don't even think about washing my car! It's a total wast of time around here with all the spray from the melting snow and mush. No one bothers with mud flaps anymore and it's a mess out there. Come late March the spring rains will do the job just fine, until then there is plenty of washer fluid in the well.
