Now that I am much older, it bothers me that our proffesional athletes are paid outrageous amounts to play a game. Oh well, guess it is the times we live in now. I love your accent! Well, living out here on the West Coast, to me you have an accent. Really enjoyed the ride along! You can send that snow our way. We haven't had much of a winter. In fact today it is suppose to be close to 70! This summer is going to be really scary with forest fires!

Your video is how my road should be, instead it is 15 degrees above normal and has been pouring rain for 3 days.

I'm not really watching it, but I've got ice skating on now. It's something the whole family can watch, and it's not nearly as annoying as most tv shows!<br /><br />Did you catch the opening ceremonies? I thought the light effects of the "whales" spouting across the stadium floor were too cool to believe!

My favo...105 bypass ain't looking much better.<br /><br />My favorite Olympic winter sport is Curling. Don't laugh or roll your eyes. I just can't help it. I just watched US women lose to japan.<br /><br />~~Matt~~Foothills Poultryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266877566073323498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-83902860163114743922010-02-16T15:36:49.321-08:002010-02-16T15:36:49.321-08:00You just reminded us why we moved to FL.

We would be shut up in the house with our 2 dozen loaves of bread, a pound of bologna, several gallons of milk or a milk cow in the barn, waiting for the thaw out. Oh yeah, we'd be eating the heck out of some snow ice cream though.<br /><br />Our snow lasted less than 24 hours down here. That will do me for the next 10 years or so.<br />Enjoyed the drive with you. <br />Have a great day.<br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-81329337822958463572010-02-16T11:52:15.999-08:002010-02-16T11:52:15.999-08:00Yup, I feel the same way.

I liked your ride to work, by the way. Your roads look like they're in halfway decent condition, at least from the point of view of a Northerner.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692541935507155362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-20055372841218339452010-02-16T10:47:49.357-08:002010-02-16T10:47:49.357-08:00I bet that drive is beautiful in the spring...all ...I bet that drive is beautiful in the spring...all the trees blooming out on those mountains ...you'll have to take us with you again as the seasons change!Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795916460978775241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717865473054614516.post-68064364380366810912010-02-16T10:44:19.485-08:002010-02-16T10:44:19.485-08:00I'm kinda with you.

Canada question his loyalty to the sport, so he got dual citizenship and skiied for the Aussies. American media asked his coach about him who said he wasn't in country yet. Two hours later he was seen entering a room with only Australian media. I listen to the stories of the nobodys and pull for them.<br />~RandyChicken Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086930297113842826noreply@blogger.com
