So, this morning I got up a bit extra early, taking into account that there was about 8" (20cm) very wet snow last night. I shoveled most of it and Mrs Wife finished off the leavings.
She mentioned there was a hole in my car, right rear, but all the lights still worked.
So, this morning I took a peak before driving off to the commuter rail: the hole wasn't a hole. It was an elephanting smash. Not quite driveable, either, as some of what used to be a fender or bumper or wherever it came from was against the tire.
So, I'm working from home again, awaiting tow to repair shop, determining need if police report need be filed, whining about walking to/from transport areas for an indeterminate amount of time, and in order to make my pleasure complete, the $500 deductible on my policy's collision.
So, after someone tells me if I'm having fun, yet, I'll contemplate why one goes on with the struggle.
I just dropped $6K on furniture to replace what Hurricane Sandy ate, so the money hemorrhage is a bit more noticeable than usual.

Pssst... Phoenix: no snow, no hurricanes.

No snow. No Hurricanes. No Water. Hot as a mother-elephanter.
Now, on a website that was touting Phoenix as one of the safest cities from natural disasters, someone did admit to "Also during our extreme summers, we get monsoon storms. Those storms produce the potential for microbursts, lightning strikes, flooding, etc. We had a very serious storm last summer where the tops of the clouds reached a over mile high and were -100 degrees while the ground surface was over +100. This produced a very violent storm that left some without power for up to 48 hours. Our dust storms can also be very violent and can cause a lot of damage due to motor vehicle accidents."
There are no free rides (except maybe, Hawaii - and even if not, the girls are so pretty and can shake their hips at 60 Hz).

Went to Fight Club last night. It was thoroughly enjoyable, if a little knackering. Only thing is I was slightly late so missed the rules, doubt they were important though.
|
|
|
|
|
The first rule of Fight Club is : You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Do you not think that the fact he missed the telling of the rules has any significance to the OPs post

Too bad it wasn't a comedy club.

It's not fair!

Too much chin-chin?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Don't let that stop you... strings don't exist in SQL server... Make sure all HTML is well formed and you can call it XML...

Mind if we call you "Bruce" to keep it clear?

Somebody please add three more so that we can have the ten (Lounge) commandments, and write them all on a stone tablet for all eternity.

That can't be right, Winston died in January, 1765 just after single handedly winning WW2
