That first pic was very cool juju...I'm trying to find a good pic from Philadelphia right now.

The cool thing is that all the trees in the area look like ones in the first pic. They're all literally shining with ice. It's quite beautiful. The second pic is a bit blurry, but I included it anyway, since it shows how heavy the ice makes the tree branches.

Here's another pic.

Is the number of people who are snowbound and react to that by gettin' liquored up and posting to the cellar ... does wonders for the board!

(thinking fondly of the possibility of getting liquored up, but I can never count on confiscating anything decent from a new admission ...)

Damnit! I forgot about my Penn Dutch Egg Nog...I think I'll have some now!

Wolf, would it help if I tried to channel your spirit and have a drink for you?

I don't think I've ever posted to the Cellar while liquored up...if I did, my posts would start looking like this.

Sorry Cam.

Thanks for the psychic-contact drunkenness.

One good thing about being at work tonight ...

The hospital bought us pizza.

Fancy pizza too.

And I got plenty o' coffee too.

Hehe that's okay, one of the problems of having your computer sit directly underneath your bed. I'm staying off the cellar tonight though, one more weekend to drink, then it's studying for the next 2 weeks

Anyways two years ago on november first my corner of Montana got hit with a hell of a blizzard and ice storm. The snow itself snapped power poles like toothpicks. The entire county was out of power for at least 2 days and nearly all the county roads were blocked. I ended up stuck in town for 2 days. My house was out of power for a week but many places were out for 2 or 3 weeks. Though it sucked due to all the heating complications it caused(lots of elderly people), it was actually kind of a nice couple days when I was stuck in town. No TV and no lights made for an interesting experience, had a lot of interesting conversations in that time. Also if you ever have a choice go with propane heat, or at least a propane oven. God only knows how we would have survived without it.

We got a nice little snow this afternoon here in Philadelphia. I think we got a couple of inches, mainly on the grass and sidewalks. I was out driving in it most of the afternoon...Putt-putt handles pretty well in the snow...nothing like front-wheel drive.

The funniest thing I saw was at my local Wawa. It had just began to snow around 2ish, and there was absolutely no milk in the coolers. When I went to Super Fresh (one of our local grocery stores), there were a lot of people in there, but plenty of stuff on the shelves.

What is it that makes people run to the store before a snowstorm to grab bread, milk, and toilet paper? Granted, one is pretty much a necessity, but the former 2 really aren't. Why these 3 items in general?

Great question. (slang keeps a straight face while explaining the conspiracy)

Its actually a Pavlovian response created by an agreement with the American Dairy Council, the Strohmann bread cartel, Mr Whipple and the meteorology dept of every news broadcast in the country. I found myself caught up in the hypnotic effect of this years ago. While walking out the back door to make the 3 item purchase, I slipped on the snow building up on the stairs. It was only then that the spell was broken and I could think clearly enough to realize that I stockpile this stuff anyway, and have absolutely no need to go out and buy the remaining stock from Wawa, Acorn, Dandy market, etc.

It was at that exact moment, looking up from the ground after klunking my head, that I understood the relationship between this phenomenon and the fact that Americans actually vote for Democrats. There was a secret technology at work. I just had to expose it. So, I did a study.

I first had to establish the medium that the hypnotic messages were transmitted. I isolated the weather guy's forecast from the nightly news, the front page of the evening paper, and recorded a clip from the local radio station. Though the message wasnt readily understood while going through these as normal, I found some rather disturbing hidden images and sounds when running the tapes backwards and looking at the front page in the mirror.

The image was Mr Whipple eating bread and drinking milk. Completely hidden from the normal perception, until you view it in the mirror.

The TV forecast when run at normal speed appeared to have an intermittent clicking. When slowed down there were very brief but progressive picures of Mr Whipple eating and drinking the same as in the paper but moving.

And the radio recording when played backwards very slowly had the message that drinking milk, eating bread and wiping would make your penis/breasts bigger, whichever was more appealing to the listener I'm guessing.

So, after close examination it seems that there is a conspiracy at work to compell the people to "buy 3 items when it snows" by the use of cleverly hidden subliminal messages.. Although I have not conducted the same experiment with a Democratic political ad, I'm assuming the same method is being used.

How else could people be hypnotized into voting for Rendell?
