SO MUCH SNOW

[Psychospacecow]

Snow? I've heard legends of it. They say it could completely shut down infrastructure that mass flooding couldn't.

[retrolinkx]

We nearly had snow last week.

Good thing we didn't, whenever it snows London shuts down because the Government sell the sand and grit to other countries because it never snows, and then when it does snow we don't know what to do, everything is shut down, people basically get days of work and we pray to our many gods that this 2cm of Snow will not be the end of London.

I used to get days of school so that was always nice.

We had a forecast of 4"-6" of snow. Everyone in town panicked. Everyone feared the worst. The rain from a few days ago diluted the brine and salt on the roads and civilization ceased to function normally when it snowed then. Stores ran out of bread. Chaos ensued.

It snowed...half an inch. Maybe an inch in spots. At least my children got play in it and have some fun. Too bad the snow was too soft to have a good snowball fight.

Yup.  Unfortunately my wife was sick so I had to pick up some meds from the local store.  About two hours before the snowstorm hit.  Everybody, their mother, and their mother's brother was there shopping for all the essentials in case the snow-pocalypse came; just like every time it snows.

Houstonionions

How do you pronounce that? Hyoost-un-yun-yuns?

[Psychospacecow]

Its Houstonians, so pretty much that. If people adjust to it, its gonna be great. If not, its going to suck. Main reason for them from my perspective is to help commuters. Main reason for the city is to incentive businesses and make money. We'll see how it goes.

I wanted to go to sleep hours ago, but insomnia kicked in.

Now I'm listening to the Trigun ost while wondering if I should make my dinner.

Houstonionions

I was leaning towards You-Stony-Onions, logical conclusion

In other news, one of the local rivers gave me a chuckle this morning [possibly NSFW?]

Gentlemen, I have made a mistake. I got nostalgic and am currently installing devpro on two computers and looking up decklists.

So Watanabe Ken has stomach cancer. Apparently they've removed the tumorous section and he should be all right, just has to convalesce a bit.

So 2016 almost took the most prolific Japanese actor, and possibly even the most prolific Asian actor we currently have in the West now that Jackie Chan and Jet Li have all but retired!

I just poorly photoshoped an owl onto Michael Bay's head for a joke on the internet at 2 AM. I need to get out more.

[Psychospacecow]

Just outta curiosity, how many people actually look at my page in creative? I've got a thing going on on there at the moment.

A little late, but still.

I drive my car everywhere, so I couldn't care less about buses. In fact, bus drivers are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen. I'm not a fan of them at all.
