321 – Hump Day Snow

Yep, it’s snowing again, but the good news is, it’s been so warm that it’s not sticking today, and this weekend is supposed to be in the high 40’s. Monday and Tuesday here, it actually got up to 50! Spring is coming people… I can feel it. I can also see it in the mornings getting lighter when I go into work.

Our new patio doors are in the process of being stained, so when they’re done, I’ll post some pictures of them here. They look great and can’t wait to show them off.

Hey Mark, did you ever wonder how big a Star Wars Star Destroyer was, in relation to the USS Enterprise? or the HALO Mothership next to the Cloverfield Monster?
 Well wonder no more thanks to this website!

I find it sad that there’s few if any good “Sci-Fi” shows on network TV. There’s a good chance that “Flash Forward” may be cancelled after it’s next run, and I’ve liked that show since it’s start. I used to like Warehouse 13 (cancelled), and Defying Gravity (cancelled). Now, I watch Flash Forward, Fringe, (Caprica,  Eureka, and Sanctuary though they’re on SyFy). Thank goodness for the old staples like Dr. Who, that seem to live on forever!

On to something funny…:

American in Paris

Harvey, an elderly American absentmindedly arrived at French immigration at Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris and fumbled for his passport.

'You have been to France before Monsieur?' the official asked in an aggressive tone.

Harvey, smiled and admitted that he had been to France before.

'In that case you should know enough to have your passport ready for inspection,' barked the bad-tempered officer.

Harvey gently informed the man that the last time he came to France he did not have to show his passport or any other documents.

'Pas possible, old man. You Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in 'la belle France.'

Harvey gave the Frenchman a long hard look. 'I assure you, young man, that when I came ashore on Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-Day

in 1944, there was no damned Frenchman on the beach asking for passports.'
