Speaking of Dogs, my female cattledog mix (see avatar) is getting frustrated because the snow is too deep for her to squat. She manages with a serious wtf look on her face..

While working as a service writer I had a custamer come in and buy 2 snows and had them installed on the rear (Citation fwd).
After asking and explaining the difference she said no "my husband said to get new snows on the rear!"
Thinking they may have had another set mounted to put on later.....i did what she wanted!
Well the hubby came in mad as heck calling us stupid etc.
One other time after the first snow mad rush as the guys went to lunch a cust frieked as to why she had to wait so long ...
So 4 of them mounted and balanced 4 snows in 11 minutes!

I was watching the news last night around 6:00. The weather lady said "another blanket of snow is expected to cross downtown Seattle at 10:31 this evening." My wife and I looked at each other with the "WTF" look, and said the same thing. The weather predictions have gotten so precise, they can pin it down to the exact minute? A few minutes later, she quoted another precise time for another area!

Funny you mention that! A co-worker was telling me about "Ed the Wonder Weiner Dog!" Ed was walking in the rut behind his master, when he decided to venture off the beaten path. He got into a foot of snow and high centered. All you could see of Ed, was his hot steamy breath eminating from below the surface of the snow. His little legs were going about 20 miles per hour, but alas......he was making no progress. He was eventually towed to safety by his Mama. The poor wiener dog had a frozen weinerschnitzel, but is expected to make a full recovery!

I heard this on the news the other day, and just saw it on the internet. Dumb people can be real funny some times. Do they really think that 911 operators are all knowing? ...
The many non-emergency 911 calls that came in since the wintry weather arrived mostly involved requests for road information:
# "I'm heading out to go grocery shopping. I have chains on, but I was wondering if there was any areas out in Beaverton that I should avoid?"
# "What's the freeway condition if I don't have chains?"
# "We have several people from our office here in Portland heading to the Hillsboro area, driving, and I wondered if you can tell me what the driving conditions or what you think, you know, is it going to become unnavigable?"
# "Hello, this is not an emergency call. Thank you for grabbing it. I have a question for you regarding road conditions, and sorry to bother you with that. I know you have more important things to do."

Yep...and that's exactly what I meant, too. Too stoopid to put their traction devices on the right end!

That's why I have an AWD. I don't have to figure out which end are the drive wheels, so nobody can call me "stoopid" for doing it wrong! :tinfoilhat: :mrgreen:

True...you can't go wrong that way, can you Don. Probably just as well because if you didn't have AWD...well...let's just say if that weren't the case, you might be newsworthy...LOL

Ok..this didn't happen this year..
A couple years ago there was a funeral at Lincoln Park Memorial Cemetery, which is up by Willamette National here in Portland. For those of you who haven't been up there....it is high on a hill, overlooking the city. Beautiful.
At any rate...the weather is nasty. It has been raining for like 2 weeks straight....its doing the on again off again snow...rain...snow....slush...
So the funeral coach pulls up. Thedy unload the casket...and the pallbearers start carrying this casket up the hill to ther graveside service.
They are almost there..when the guy in the back slips and falls.
They all go down.
Casket goes down. And starts sliding down the hill, rapidly accelerating.
The pallbearers give chase. One paticuarly spry young man catches up...and leaps onto the casket.
He said later that he figured it would slow it down or stop it.
*Wrong!* The casket is now hauling ass. It crossed over 2 access roads...and went about the length of a football field and a half before coming to a stop at the very bottom of the hill.
Now...this sounds like a horrible situation. But the family was laughing so hard they were on their knees. I guess the decedent was a major practical joker....and they said this must have been the last hurrah
Awesome.:rock:
