What's making you feel smug today?

limey · 06-26-2015, 05:20 PM

You may have seen that another Dweller has pointed out that a strike has interrupted ferry services between My Island Home and the Big Island today.
I was planning to go to a music rehearsal which meant that I had booked a ferry trip with the car for this evening (strike day). As soon as I heard the first mention of the strike date I changed the booking to yesterday instead. I later heard that the ferry company were not taking bookings for strike day or the two previous days (overtime ban in place for those days), but I had acted so quickly that I don't even think the guy who took my changed booking realised that the strike date had been agreed.
As a result of the extra gratuitous day on the Big Island Mr Limey and I was friends and got a few things done. But mostly I feel smug.
PS: strike is for one day only and will not affect anyone's Birthday Bonanza Trips. Honest.

A victory over the forces of darkness.

After seeing the video of the ferry sliding into Ardrossan like it was second base at Yankee Stadium, I think they deserve every penny they can get.

Damn hot weather in February. Its not fair I tell you.

monster · 02-20-2018, 10:40 PM

It's hot here too. For Michigan. Weird. We still have snow piles and it's raining like all fury, but steam/fog is rising off the snow

monster · 02-20-2018, 10:41 PM

....more smog than smug I guess

Gravdigr · 02-21-2018, 02:25 PM

Heh...

Wind day today!!!! Work's closed. (Just hope we keep power)

Griff · 03-02-2018, 07:53 AM

Snow / wind day here. Fire going, waiting for the power to go out.

glatt · 03-02-2018, 08:09 AM

Lost the power 20 minutes ago after much flickering. At least it's well above freezing. I like having power though.

Griff · 03-02-2018, 08:30 AM

It's right at 30 F here, heavy heavy snow. Power comes and goes, Pete is trying to work from home.

Got a picture from the Jersey mountains west of NYC this morning. Less than an inch of snow.
