Stu,
It's after midnight. I couldn't sleep so I got up to check out the forum. You're right. This is one mild January in California. Hell Stu, I just got dumped by some girl who claimed money wasn't important. Big deal, I still got dumped. Tell you what pal. I'll race you to the Onassis heir. At least if she dumps us maybe she'll pin a Mil to our lapels before she shoves us out the door.
Well, I guess I'm going back to bed now. I'll attach L.A 1 to this tomorrow for you.
Goodnight....

One thing I laugh at is how apparently in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, they don't know anything about rock salt. One day of snowfall, amounting in six inches total and the whole Hampton Roads region closes. As a Pittsburgher who has had to go to school in conditions worse than the six inches of soft, ice-free snow we experienced in VA a few weeks ago, I find this extremely laughable. See, that's what happens to warm region dwellers! I'll bet you LA folks wouldn't last a day over here in the Northeast or Midwest! The occasional Arctic blast every now and again builds character! :-)

The farther north you go, the more efficient the road crews are. 1: because of more practice 2: because of better equipment.
One nasty blizzard I was in last year in the upper penninsula of Michigan was particularly memorial. The local government sent the road crews home and told them to stay off the roads as the blizzard was to bad due to white-out conditions.t When they send the road crews home, you know there's some dangerous weather. They told us by radio to travel at your own peril. Since I had good books a well stocked supply of alcohol plus food I thought it was beautiful outside.

When I was moving to Califronia From Michigan, I spent a night in Texarcana. That morning while heading to Dallas I heard on the radio that the Dallas school system had closed because of ONE inch of snow. How I laughed. What a buch of wooses ! ONE INCH?? Gimme a break. Imagine my surprise as the closer I got to Dallas the worse the roads got until it was just impossible to drive because that scrawny little one inch of snow stopped everything.

Also...right again. Californians and rain. Bad mix.
| By 1wicked (64.32.154.94) on Friday, January 31, 2003 - 04:05 pm: |
Ralph....I'm from D/FW, so I know what you mean !! But the schools don't necessarily shut down because of (just) the snow....it's often at the request of the gas company because of the drain on resources when it gets that cold. (No biggie...it keeps buses off the roads and they just tack that day on to the end of the school year anyway !). They have even requested that major manufacturing firms shut down for a day for the same reason.
Stu...as an 18 year Californian, I'd hafta agree with you on the drivers here. I would add something else to that mix....but I'd be SOOOOOO politically incorrect !!

Ah, "Snow" isn't exactly the flavour of the month over here today... One snowfall last night and the whole country's thrown into chaos.

Yeah Stu Last nght was absolutely freezing in Monterey. I had to put my house heat on for a while. Brutal Winter weather returns. Probably a blusterey 60 degrees here also. But sunny. I just mowed my front AND back lawns. At least you East Coast types get a reprieve from that. Oh....forgot about snow shoveling though.
| By 1wicked (64.32.154.94) on Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 05:31 pm: |
Monterey has to be the most serene, beautiful, crime-free, and clean (not even a cigarette butt on the beaches) place I've ever experienced. AND....you can even buy Coca Cola products that taste the way they used to....the Classic Formula with a "bite". If I won the lotto....I'd head there in a heartbeat with just the clothes on my back, my music collection, and my photo's. I really would like to open a restaurant there...'cause my grub is one helluva lot better than "Sly McFly's" !!

Wicked,
Is is beautiful here, but it is getting to be that you need to win the lotto just to survive here. Yeah, I'm not sure if I would eat anything at Sly's either. there are a lot of good restaurants here though and the competeion is pretty stiff between them. Maybe you could open up a genuine East Coast deli here.
| By Ralph (209.240.198.62) on Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 05:50 pm: |

Ralph....an East Coast Deli sounds great, but my specialty is Texas-style BBQ (never boiled/never baked), featuring brisket that you can cut with a cold stare....and all the fixin's. Whenever I re-enter the "hospitality" fray (be it here in SoCal or Monterey/Carmel)...it'll be with "Que and other Southern specialties, 'cause I know what I'm doing. Anything else attempted would be done via S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess) !

We are having some of the strangest weather that I can ever remember, this morning it has warmed back up but we are supposed to have 90 mile an hour winds to start by about mid morning which they say is a good thing because that will dry everything up because temps are supposed to go back down to well below freezing by early afternoon.

Of course, cream and sugar. Figure I'll charge 50 cents a cup until it becomes popular, then it'ill be 3 bucks each, I'll open a chain of stores, buy a bad basketball team (Sub-Sonics), and retire after my stock shoots up to $50 a share, and really learn how to play the guitar.

| By Ralph (209.240.198.62) on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 02:53 pm: |
Stu,
Old Red died years ago. There are two places. One in Seaside and one in Monterey. The Monterey place is run by Sophie and her husband Jim, along with Evie and Jose. I think Red's widow runs the Seaside outlet where the donuts are made. People talk about Krispy Kreme donuts. Drek compared to Reds.
Wicked: First Awakenings is very good but I'll put my money on Rosine's in downtown Monterey every time. just about the only place I eat these days. I suppose it helps that the owners, Rosine and Jim Culcassi are Sicilians and have kind of adopted me as one of their own.
| By STUBASS (206.135.204.2) on Tuesday, February 04, 2003 - 03:37 pm: |

....one thing I like about up here is the crystal clear skies. It's 42 (a little too warm, but not so cold as to stop the spooners on Skyline Drive, overlooking the Columbia River), and every star god owns is out.

Speaking of golf, this is the week of the AT&T at Pebble Beach up here. Normally the weather is somewhat iffy because of the time of year, but this year the only thing the golfers are getting soaked with is sunshine. Absolutely prime golfing weather.

Stu,I was at St.Andrews in late April and it was a wee nippy but tolerable. Then again coming off a Michigan winter anything above 45 seems downright balmy!!What history there!Just around the corner from the old club house is a little hotel with a pub as you walk in the front.The've got all kinds of photos of past golf greats that were at the hotel on the walls.Great viewing!

You would shake your head at times because it is an acquired taste. To truly enjoy it you also have to play from the tiger tees, which can only be done at 4am in July!
St Andrews is a special place.
BTW I also fancy Riviera, in your own back yard.

.....I'd stick my tongue out at you and go na-na-na, but I just had 4 teeth pulled and can't get my mouth open.
The nice thing about our weather here in Central Washington (about 40, clear, no wind) is that a cup of coffee (which I'm drinking through a straw) tastes sooooo goooood after working out in the yard, or any outdoor activity. Doesn't work quite so well when it's 85 out.
By the way, if there isn't any snow on the ground, the die hards golf in this weather.

Stu.....
.....New uppers, thank you.
Actually, this nice weather is causing major problems for wheat farmers (no moisture or insulation if it gets cold), soft fruit (they're budding early), and power generation (we pay 3 cents a Kwh--no snow means no water for generation this summer). So as much as I may crow about our wonderful weather, if YOU want inexpensive power from OUR Columbia River Dams, pray for snow.

Just to scare you wimpy Californians even more, read this from the Associated Press ...
Snowballs are now forming themselves!
Some areas saw a rare weather phenomenon where snowballs form naturally and roll through fields like tumbleweeds. Meteorologists call them "rollers" and say they can range from the size of a golf ball to a 30-gallon drum.
"At first I thought they were just clumps of sod being turned over in the field," said Stacy Bowman, a Springfield, Ill., resident who stopped to watch the snow formations on her way home from work Tuesday night. "Then I thought maybe some kids were out there, but I didn't see any footprints around."
Ha! Top that ...

Thanks Ralph and Sis no I will still be in Toronto, but I am going to be doing private duty working with two families , so my plan is to finally go back to night school to get my special needs certification, so I can work with children with developmental problems. I am really looking forward to this I will miss the children I have now very much but I will not miss some of the adults I have to work with. I am hoping that after I get my certification I can finally make it down to the states to work.
Thanks again for all your good wishes it really means alot

| By SisDetroit (68.42.209.170) on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 08:54 pm: |
Stu - You don't want to have a set-back. Maybe you'd better forgo this one skins game. But, you still have time to take a shot of whatever you dip into. Perhaps some Crown Royal. Hot rum, Chinese Tea. Try to sweat when you go home, so you can sweat out all the fever. You're gonna have to do more than an Arnold Palmer, perhaps your gonna have to do a Sergio (sp) Garcia.
| By Nancy (66.185.85.72) on Tuesday, February 18, 2003 - 09:08 pm: |
gin and hot lemon or scotch and neo citrion that will do the trick stu knock you out for the night and you will be good as new to play at your skins game, so good luck and let us know what happens

Weather update from the great white north we actually saw the sun today and it is so warm that I am actually posting with a window open last week my windows were frozen shut, but by the weekend we are to dip below freezing again and snow should arrive by saturday night, oh life in Canada.

Stu...
...1) No. The Kingdome was imploded a couple of years ago, and replaced by the Seahawk stadium. The M's play at state of the art Safeco Field (outdoors).
2) No. We have a perfectly good shortstop in Carlos Guien. And besides, spending money on 1 good player and not a pitching staff was a big sucuess for the Rangers. That big contract of his makes him almost untradeable.
3) No. He was only here a couple of years, when he hit his 300th homer. Don't know where he is now.

THanks Stu..I know you are right what happened yesterday is happening all over the place and I know that everyone will find their way and you are right I cannot believe the timing for me but it still just really sucks..it is not only my co-workers but daycare space in a GOOD daycare centre in Toronto is at a premium, so parents are going to have to scramble. anyway we have actually warmed up a little and the sun is shining so a little later this morning, I am going to get outside and enjoy it

R&B....
....maybe The Fendermen know.
Stu...
....I know this is completely unrelated, but I was listening to "Rescue Me" last night, captivated by the bass line--especially at the fade. Do you have ONE favorite bass riff you perticularly enjoy? No hedging now.
To bring it back on topic, 40, brilliant sunshine. Perfect spring skiing weather. If I skied.
Nancy....
....sorry for your co-employees. Good daycare is hard to find anywhere. The training needed to do a good job is high, and the pay inhales. Good luck on your new endevor.

Tyrone Davis,s bass player knocks me out. The drummer and the bass player are a perfect example of how a drummer and bass work as a team.
Get Tyrone Davis--Greatest hits and see for yourself. If you read the inside liner of the C.D. you,ll see that it was written by our own Soulful Detroit member Kevin L. Goins!! I wore out my cassette of this album and upgraded to a C.D.,it always brings me up listening to this bass player and wishing I was playing drums with him,it,s better than a joint and a jumbo,or maybe in combination with!!!

HEY LYNN: YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT TYRONE DAVIS..."TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME"...BEAUTIFUL BASS LINE...KIND OF IN SYNC WITH THE PREVIOUS LINES THAT I'VE MENTIONED!!!...I ONCE HEARD HIS ENSEMBLE PRACTICING AT A MOTEL PRIOR TO A PERFORMANCE...AND THEY HAD A REAL NICE GROOVE GOING!!!...STU

Hey Stu.. Defintely will be keeping in touch especially with some of the children who I became close to.. so far the new job is great I have introduced them to of course shot gun we were dancing to it the other day, the parents love that i am into motown and the best thing is that since I am doing this privately there is no inspector to worry about. In regards to my car money is really tight and the buy out does exceed the value of the car but is it possible just to extend the lease for another year, because to turn it in for a new car I am going to have to come up with a down payment and that is just not going to happen right now. so stu how is the weather it is supposed to warm up to 50 degrees tomorrow send a little La sunshine up here

TOOTHPICKS...I MEAN LEGS ON THE GOLF COURSE YESTERDAY)...TEMPS IN THE 70'S!!!...WE ARE EXPECTING RAIN THIS WEEKEND (LOTS ON SATURDAY)...SO I WON'T SEND *THAT* UP THERE...BUT AS LONG AS IT CLEARS BY WEDNESDAY...SO I CAN ENJOY FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS OF GOLF...AND WHATEVER ELSE I CAN FIND TO GET INTO TROUBLE AND STAY DRY AT THE SAME TIME!!!...TALK TO YOU SOON!!!...STU

It's been sooo windy today. There was a tree blown into my exit lane on the freeway in the Valley. Luckily I had enough space around me to swirve around it. A few minutes later someone told me of two other trees downed by the blustery weather.
At least the skies are clear, though.
