What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 79

I hate the cold. It will be warmer here in Virginia. We'll be at +5 at night, and will make it up to the teens during the day. Brr.

This is the time of year that my walking commute isn't quite as much fun.

Hey, this reminds me. Did you make the complaint about people driving on the walkway yet?

I don't see the walkway in the last photo do I?

(I hope I have the right cellarite here)

My memory is shotty at best.

glatt · 01-15-2009, 04:18 PM

Yeah, that was me. I made the complaint, and they didn't install any barricades or anything like that, but I haven't seen anyone doing it either, so they must have put out a memo or something.

In the commute pics, the sidewalk segment was just behind me when I took picture 6.

It's +6 here at present but the sun is about to drop outa the sky. I just dug the door out on the goat shed, everybody is tucked in. It continues to be dogs inside weather.

Beautiful pics. Now show us some snow!

- 20 this morning, wind chill hovering -40. Fueled by oatmeal, my right eyelashes crusted and froze over on the 3/4 mile walk into work. Same tomorrow, they say.

glatt · 01-15-2009, 05:14 PM

No snow here.

monster · 01-15-2009, 05:14 PM

Chances are no school here tomorrow, wind chill taking temps below -20F. it's not upsetting me, actually, though. I could do with a day off and so could the kids. they're peeved, though -Friday is their favorite day.

Aliantha · 01-15-2009, 05:15 PM

It's pretty hot here today. Supposed to get up close to 100F.

Can anyone send me a load of snow please?

Damn. That's cold.

Yah, you people are a special breed doing that -40 nonsense.

What's mildly irritating me today is a bunch of shit-headed, self-congratulatory dickwads mucking around and being all smug-like.

I wanna cow-punch 'em. But, that'd be vigilante justice, which, I've just decided is probably wrong.

Damn higher education. I was happier when I could just make a shiv and shank a dude.

Aliantha · 01-15-2009, 08:44 PM

Oh no, being a vigilante is a good thing!

Go ahead and do it, and don't forget to record it on your cell phone then post it on the internet!

That was the discussion today in my testosterone-y class American Outlaws (all dudes, of course). While we decided we understood vigilantism, we decided lynching people on the spot for mere property theft was a bit...shall we say, harsh.

Aliantha · 01-15-2009, 08:49 PM

Well I suppose it depends what and how much property they stole right? But then again, I don't think I'd lynch someone for that. I'd be pretty pissed off though.

I would go vigilante is anyone ever interfered with my kids though. Without even a second thought. With premeditation even.
