Today, I wished I had a snowblower. About 8" on the ground so far, and more still coming. The damage to the power grid seems to be not as bad as feared, so far, although what's coming down right now is sleet. No idea how accurate the data on this site is, but it's interesting to observe:After a couple of heavy snow winters I broke down and bought a snow blower. Since then our winters have had little snow. I think that is one way the universe messes with me.

That sounds like my idea of selling frozen spinach on a stick.I still have a plan to buy up every Aztek I can find and sit on them until they become quirky classics worth big money.🤪🤪🤪I'm not so sure about that, especially if the Aztek is a single color.We were getting groceries today and one of these went by. Can anyone explain the reason for buying something that looks like this? It has so many elements of bad design I don't know where to begin....but small windows might be a start. Is it because someone wants a car that looks macho, or is it to be obnoxious, does it say, "I don't care what you think", or is it a car for techies, or people who hate cars......
Sorry if it offends someone, but tastes vary, just want to know what goes through someone's mind who would buy one.
We had one guy at tennis and when someone showed up in a new car, he'd say, "How come you bought such an ugly car?".Hey it's better looking than the Aztec.

Fixed that for you.
I noticed that. When it gets into the40s50s in Florida the ski parkas come out.😂
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Glad you mentioned this. It's already January 6. Some of you are past due.
That “fear mongering” is probably what happens when you don’t have a life out side of work. I had no problem when I hung up my retirement shingle. I don’t think you will either as long as you keep paying your Edmunds dues.

So yesterday was my last day at work; it was also a nice final week. Monday the Judge took my two assistant prosecutors and myself to lunch; Thursday and Friday a few attorneys and police officers stopped by. The judge also had some nice things to say at the start of my last motion docket, as did the AG at yesterday's swearing in of my successor. I checked the stats and my office closed 2,534 cases over the past six years, which I'm very proud of. Most of the credit goes to my staff (five in total); I picked intelligent women and Ididn't micromanage them. Also, I had their back if someone gave them any cr*p. It was a great six years.————————————————
A very hearty congratulations to you.
So, wise guy, now that you’re not working, what are your plans. Are we going to have put up with more of your posts praising MB and trashing your first love BMW? Just sit back and enjoy the ride. I speak from experience; 10 years for me next month. Couldn’t be happier.
Again, congrats.

Yes, I won't miss that one bit.@roadburner said:
All is secure at the Roadburner Northern Command Center; 3-6 more inches of ice/sleet/snow is expected before the system moves out in around 30 hours...Good thing you don’t have to worry about getting into the office tomorrow!
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Right after I posted the above it really started to snow. Looks like we will end up with about 14 in. Temp won't get above freezing all next week with lows -4s and -5s, etc. Wife says she will just kill me outright if she ever sees me pick up a snow shovel again, so I'll have to call the man. I don't even get to play in the snow any more. She is probably right as I am diabetic, have mild heart failure, and just turned 82.Ouch; yeah, you gotta be careful about putting voice to thoughts like that! You say it isn't going to happen before it clears up, and you'll be in for the dump, for sure.

They brought back Hummer, might as well try Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, and Oldsmobile, too.
