315 – Crystal Ball Forecasting

It seems our weather forecasters here have been using crystal balls instead of science to forecast storms this Winter. It’s gotten so bad, they predicted for yesterday 1” to 4” of snow, most likely just a dusting. We got up to 8” of snow that lasted almost all day long.

The last storm, we were supposed to get 8” to 16” of snow, and we got a dusting.
Here's a local weatherman with egg on his face. Really. (Thanks to Mike H for letting me know)

My daughter and her good friend Michelle have started making fancy cakes for birthdays, anniversaries.. etc. They’re getting really good with fondant, and here’s an example they made last weekend for one of Michelle’s nieces.

The Finding Nemo Cake!

My daughter did Nemo himself, and they both did the fondant work, but it came out beautifully didn’t it!

Well, I’ll leave you with a riddle and a joke:

What is the word, phrase or saying listed below?

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTVWXYZ

Fishing?

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading'.
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'For reading a book,' she replies,
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her again,
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading'
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with Sexual assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the game warden.
'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.

Have a great Hump-Day all!

Missing U (or, you, I suppose, if we make it a phrase).

The fondant work certainly looks professional. I suppose amateur cake decorators will always get away with copyright infringement. ;)

Funny fishing joke.
