537 – Weird Weather
Ok, this is NOT a complaint, but since the “SnowTober” storm back at the end of October that knocked down trees all over our state, and put over a million people out of power for up to close to a month, we’ve had the mildest winter we’ve had in my life.
Supposedly, it’s due to the Jet Stream making a “hat” above New England, in a place it’s never been before.
The only other snow we’ve had, was about 3 inches of light powdery stuff last Saturday, and that’s all gone today after a few days in the 40’s and even Tuesday when it got up to 54 degrees! Friday, it’s suppopsed to hit 50 again.
Unfortunately though, February is usually our worst month, when it comes to snow.
For now though, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this great weather continues into Spring.
Welcome home to my dear friend Merle, who’s been under the weather for a bit. *S*
One more Hawaii picture that I forgot to post… 
a memorial to all those brave souls:
And now for something to make you smile:
The Rookie Cop...
A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner. A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.
The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing on a corner.
The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner people."
A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again...
"I SAID, let's get off that corner... NOW!"
Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction.
Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"
Pretty good," chuckled the vet, "especially since this is a bus stop!"

Ever since I first saw it in a slideshow at home from my parents' trip, I have admired the design of that building, and what it represents. I'll have to look at Dad's pic again, though. Pretty sure it didn't feature the wheelchair ramp. I understand accessibility concerns, but it would be nice to see the building without all of that tacked onto it. Now that architects know to include that feature from the start, it isn't a big eyesore.
Just dropped in to see how you were doing, and apparently you are starting to lose the "blogging bug" as i see that you come here to blog rather haphazardly, which is a shame.
i partly blame myself for that, having lost the few little minutes it took to read your blog to other things. Thus, consider this an apology, and the hopes that your blogging "needs" will be rekindled soon!
Yours,

Hi Dave ~~ Great building and joke. Thanks for your comments and it sure is good to be back with my blogging friends. Glad you enjoyed the post. Cheers, Merle.
The Arizona Memorial was designed by an Austrian that was interred during the war because of his citizenship (non-American), so it's especially important in that way too.
