Wednesday, 3/5 --
Hello, snow bunnies.
Twenty down, two more to go – maybe.
“Oh the weather outside is crappy.” Or not. It depends where you, the listener, are reading this. Within 20 miles from some spots the snow accumulation disparity was half. (Does that make any sense? – It did when Dave said it.)
Please return to health Laurie. I’m lost w/o you.
What we noticed yesterday:
* People driving in the snow without their lights on also usually didn’t sufficiently clean off their cars before driving either.
* John noticed lots of the fairer sex stuck in the snow.
* Side plows.
* A line of plows four across.
The Quaker Oats Co. said on Tuesday it is recalling a limited number of Aunt Jemima Pancake & Waffle Mix products because of potential salmonella contamination from raw or undercooked ingredients.
The company said a small quantity of Aunt Jemima Pancake & Waffle Mix: Original, Original Complete and Buttermilk Complete products are included in the recall. The recalled products are sold in 2-pound and 5-pound boxes with best-before dates of Feb. 8, 2009 through Feb. 16, 2009 stamped on the top.
Dave said this season we are at 30.1 inches of snow, the most since 1991-92.
A couple of years ago, we heard how cow flatulence was supposedly bad for the environment because it contributes to global warming.
Cows produce loads of methane when they break wind & methane supposedly contributes more to global warming than carbon dioxide, which is what factories, cars, and airplanes spew into the air. Well, cow poop also emits methane.
And that gave David Albers, the president of BioEnergy Solutions, an idea: Why not ask dairy farmers to give him manure so he can turn cow dung into an alternative energy source?
Yesterday, David opened a plant in Riverdale, California, that is as big as five football fields 33-feet deep & filled with cow dung given to him by a local dairy farmer.
Over a few days, the methane from the manure will build up under a tent pump into a filter & be sent off to a power plant in Northern California. That plant will send enough energy to power 1,200 homes. (Reuters).
Happy Birthday & “Oi!” to Eddy Grant from “Electric Avenue.”
The band Triumph is getting back together. Rik Emmett, Gil Moore and Mike Levine have spent the subsequent two decades bickering and sniping at each other in public and lawyer's offices. But Rik’s younger brother passed from cancer recently & made Rik promise to try & make peace with the other two. They are gonna be at Mullet-stock in Oklahoma & a world tour to follow.
On this day in 1973, professional baseball’s first-ever wife-swapping ensued, when New York Yankees Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson announced that they'd traded wives during the off-season.
The last time Jimmy Buffett played Saint Louis was July 18th, 2000 at Riverport. We gave away lawn seats for his April 24th show at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater before they go one sale Monday & will do so for the rest of the week.
Faith & begorrah! From the paper: “Saint Patrick's Day revelers planning to bring alcohol into Dogtown will need more than the luck of the Irish to get around more than 20 checkpoints surrounding the route of the neighborhood's annual parade.
“Organizers announced Tuesday that parade goers would not be allowed to bring their own alcohol this year, nor glass bottles of any kind. To enforce the ban, the Ancient Order of Hibernians hired security guards and will patrol the intersections and alleys surrounding the heart of Dogtown.”
TPTB say it’s for health & safety reasons. But that’s a crock. It’s because they want you to have to buy their beer and not bring it in from outside (cheaper) sources.
St. Gerard Majella (1971 Dougherty Ferry Road in Kirkwood) is Friday’s Fish Fry Tour 2008 stop.
The JoY was Eric Cartman’s version of “Come Sail Away” by Styx. The F4 featured “Take It Away” from Paul’s 1982 Tug of War. The Vault was “20th Century Boy” by T. Rex. Finally, Leon Russell played piano on “Day After Day” by Badfinger.
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
Carl The Intern |
