We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Well I was out at the bar and the obnoxious bros kept on putting Nickleback on the jukebox, I showed them though it turns out you could play all of 45:33 by LCD for a dollar. 45 minutes and 33 seconds free of Nickleback is well worth it in my book.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

The leaves are so beautiful in fall though. And you can cook with the seeds. Or you can use them to run your neighbors out of town because they smell like shit and can cause blisters when touched. Best tree ever.

Has anyone heard of Ginkgo trees? No? Be happy because they are NOT fun to have around.
Only the females smell bad but they stink. It is because like Bartlett Pears they are pollinated by fly's instead of bees so smelling like poop instead of flowery attracts them.

My mom makes the world's best Chicken and Dressing...NOT Stuffing...don't want to be spooning crap out of a turkey carcass. But doubt I will ever get the Guiness Book to come to Albertville, AL to try it so they can make it official!

If any of you have kids, grandkids, neices, nephews, or friends with young ones check this out. There is a town about 15 minutes from me called Santa Claus, IN. If you send your letter to Santa to the post office there a volunteer will send a letter back from "Santa Claus". The address is
Santa Claus PO Box 1 Santa Claus, IN 47579
Get your letters in early. The one year I didn't mail my daughter's letter until 5 days before Christmas we didn't get a reply.
Also, if you're into all that Christmas stuff (I'm not, apparently) you can send your Christmas cards to the post office to be stamped with the official "Santa Claus Station" postmark. Send your stamped cards to
Santa Claus Post Office 45 North Kringle Place Santa Claus, IN 47579
There's a gingko directly in front of my office. I smell it multiple times a day and it does NOT make me happy! The worst part is that I work in a college admissions office-basically a sales office- and we bring our tours right under it. "Here folks, come to our school! It smells like poop!"

Not sure why this took over 25 years to discover, because I love Macaroni and Cheese and from chicken legs to Oreos, I love things fried, tonight, for the first time ever, I fried the left over Mac N Chz. It is Gooeyness-Cheestastic!

Back in nursing school I had this bitch for a teacher and it snowed maybe 2 inches two weeks in a row. Our classes were canceled so on the 3rd week we had class and she went on a rant about how she's from Michigan and this is her first Winter here and how we were all pussies not wanting to drive in such little snow." The 4th week class was canceled again due to her going off the side of a hill with just an inch of snow on the ground.
My point is, driving when it's flat in the snow is a whole different ballgame then driving over mountains and hills.
I remember when we lived at my parent's house being snowed in for a week since they don't usually run salt/icescraping trucks up back roads. We slipped on our asses all the way down to the bottom of the hill and then walked along the side of the road for an hour to get smokes and milk. Bad times man, bad times!
Ugh, I have nothing to eat at the house but I'm afraid to shop with all the snow shoppers. :/
Word. People go balls crazy in Tennessee at the slightest hint of snow.
So here is the actual issue that we have. It does not snow that much so we do not have the millions invested in infrastructure that Northern cities do. Imagine if every time it snowed three inches you just did not see a plow including on hills for three days, or a lot of times not at all. I don't care what part of the country you live in you can not drive a rear wheel drive car up a hill if there is snow on it.

Also I have been listening to John Hartford, Daft Punk, and Mastodon on Spotify, I do not think it knows what to make of me.

It's also the damn trees and valleys. When it snowed last winter, everything from the main road to my office in downtown Knoxville was clear as could be. The problem was the mile from my house to the main road. It's a back road in a valley with a ton of tree cover. It had huge patches of ice on it for almost a week after everything else had melted.
No snow this morning, YAY! But I get to work and they have changed ALL of the lights in my office. It is brighter than day in here; I can hardly see my computer screen. I am pissed and it's only 8:05.

When I still had to drive, I routinely drove a rear-wheel Mustang in more than 3 inches of snow in the winter. You get good at shimmying up the hill, basically yanking the wheel back and forth so you get little bursts of traction.
But I would agree, if you're not doing this on an annual basis, it's pretty much impossible to be any good at it.
