Wah, wah

been in the teens a few nights. I feel for ya. LOL

I'm in the northern plains. My morning started at -11 actual. Yesterday morning was -19. Weekend had been cooler still. Heatwave today got us to 8 above. Feel sorry for me yet? Or am I doing a good enough job feeling sorry for me?



Four retired guys are walking down a street in Chicago, when they see a sign that says: OLD TIMERS BAR. ALL DRINKS 10 CENTS. They go in.

The old bartender says, "Come on in and let me pour one for you. What'll it be, gentlemen?"

There seems to be a fully stocked bar, so the 4 men each asked for a martini.

The bartender serves up 4 iced martinis and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please." They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.

Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, please."

Their curiosity is more than they can stand. They ask the bartender, "How can you afford to serve martinis for a dime a piece?"

The bartender began, "Here's my story. I'm a retired tailor from Brooklyn, and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $25-million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime — wine, liquor, beer, all the same."

The three couldn't help but notice three other guys at the end of the bar who didn't have a drink in front of them, and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there. They ask the bartender, "What's with them?"

The bartender says, "They're seniors from Florida. They're waiting for happy hour."

When as a 7 yr-old, I was living in the northwoods of Wisconsin (early Jan., 1949, temps got brutal outside... the warmest it got for 3 days was -30 and down to -60 at night with about 3 feet of frozen crusted snow. One road grader went by the farm driving on top of the snow! Ahh, the good old days.
