meanwhile, in Alaska

This is what August has been like this year, taking note of the forecast along the bottom. I hate hot weather, so I am loving this :]

Actually now that I think about it, June and July were pretty much like that too, just more rain.

Highs in the forties? Lol... that's crazy. In northern michigan we're getting highs right around seventy... lows a nice crisp fifties at night. But I sure would love to see alaska some day soon.

If it gets above 72 I am uncomfortably hot, so you *know* I am loving this summer's weather.

LMAO, and guilty.

Jeff Foxworthy on "Alaskans"..and it’s so true

Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Alaskans:

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Alaska.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Alaska.

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Alaska.

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Alaska.

If you know several people who have hit a moose more than once, you may live in Alaska.

If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again, you may live in Alaska.

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you may live in Alaska.

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Alaska.

If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Alaska.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you may live in Alaska.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in Alaska.

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow ice, you may live in Alaska.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Alaska.

If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may live in Alaska.

If you find -10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Alaska.

Snow day:

Balmy, eh?

I admit, I could stand a little more summer in my summer.

C'mon down to Alabama.  

It is about 100% humidity (humidistickety) and over 90º.

Ugh. No thanks... that sounds disgusting.

LOL @Miss Alaska. Beefy gals up here are called Tundra Wookies.

Yesterday was the last day of construction season, err, "Summer." Today is the first day of Winter:

This was my drive home from the mine today:

Wow, great pics! Do you listen to Hootie and the Blowfish driving home from the office?

Dayum! That's some white stuff. We don't get it but once or twice a year in Hoover.

It was in the '80's today in Hoover.

Oh you know me. I freaking LOVE Hootie and the Blowfish. What are you having for dinner? Grilled cockroach sandwiches?

As a matter of fact, I AM! LOL

I still haven't found that cockroach. He is probably hiding underneath my desk and is waiting for me to forget about the "incident" earlier and then he's going to pounce right on my face.

I called Shadi and asked to talk to the cockroach. He said he's waiting until you fall asleep tonight then he's going to jump on your face and take a nap. Shadi said she's good with that, so, you know... it's totally happening.



Sweet dreams!

Here is me in the dark waiting for the cockroach....
