Ooops!

Welcome to The Ark


Welcome!

Things that make you go Ooops!

Your favorite mistake.

Things you always knew to be true that turned out to be not so much.

Surprising realizations.

Funny historical stuff.

Stuff that scared you senseless but was funny afterwards.

Things learned the hard way.

Keep it clean, friendly, and have fun!

I heard there are approximately 10 million rats in NYC.

Uh???

How many million drowned in the underground flooded infrastructure?

As if the NYC residents don't already have enough distress in their lives at the moment, what's that going to smell like after the pumps are finished?

OMG...my heart goes out.

That speaks volumes.

my guess is prolly very few, rats from a sinking ship comes to mind.

There was a 100ft wooden schooner at the wharf and it started sinking. The rats that came off that was astounding. What didn't get to the dock swam and made it. Those little buggers know every escape route possible.

Think I'm staying away from Doc's blog for a week or two.
Tired of all the GW fights, stupid political attacks, and Monday morning quarterbacking.

I said something about the NYC mayor not taking it serious enough after his first press conference before Sandy and was told I didn't know what I was talking about. Of course, now the same folks want to crucify him.

As for NHC...it's a mute point. Anyone who watched the news at all knew it was coming and what could happen. In fact, there were many accusing the media of over-hyping the storm.

The info was there for anyone who chose to believe it. The region had been too lucky for too long. No matter what you say or do, a percentage of people will ignore it or not believe it will happen to them or not believe it can be as bad as they say.

Could some things have been done better? Probably. Would it have made a difference? Maybe...maybe not.

Anyway, that's my take. Very weary of hearing about it so I'm staying here.

Yeah !
A little over 1/2" yesterday, and some nice sprinkles this morning again.
Funny how that big red blob just evaporated last evening.
On our way to town we were looking at the sky to the east and it was massive, with great colours bouncing off from the sunset. Thought we were Doomed for sure. But nothing happened....

Anyway, all's well.

Todd,
Hey Bud!
What's the project for the weekend?

Pottery,
Good to know.
Gray outside at the moment. Widely scattered maybes.


Okay, I've made a decision.
Chili for dinner.

Quick, easy, and been a while.
Of course, that means I gotta make cornbread too.

Just dropped by :  Clean up in progress.  Phone and internet in and out.  No 1 was designated as temporary emergency shelter.  Shelterees helped themselves to the contents of the Firehouse and left while crews were out on runs.  Can't make this stuff up.  As you can see from the news Sandy has left her sign on a few spots.  Gas in short supply right now and folks with gasoline powered generators are lining up.  One station with no power put a suction hose from a sump pump in the storage tank and was pumping gas with a 1/2 in discharge into the portable gas cans.   Wonder if operator has ever seen a a pump overheat.  Had a call  for a little old lady who was moved from one home to a neighbors.  Sitting on the range top was a one burner butane camp stove.   UGG.  We are in Squad bldg. 24/7.   Town is on lockdown.  If you are not a resident no access.  That's it for now. Catch you guys on the back step.

You owe me for cleaning the Pepsi off my keyboard!

What makes it twice as funny is when I wrote my comment instead of "On his boat, with a big fish in his hands", I was going to say "Tall guy with a big snook". BWAA HAAAA HAAAAAAA

I figured Pottery or Rob would nail me for that one!

OK, you guys all need to go to Orca's and read what I said about you.
And yes, I really did mean it. :)

Had a bad leg day, nothing serious, meds will take care of it, just part of the package, only in week two so far, gets better in week three. Will have the last procedure after Thanksgiving and then I'm done with this stuff.

Can't wait to get rid of these really tall thigh high socks.

Don't touch that line. Ever. :)

I have Really Bad News, this morning.
Seems like I have volunteered to drive Lady Pott to town, where I get to sit in traffic breathing co2 and getting annoyed while she runs in and out of doorways.
Then I get to go to the grocery.

It would be much more fun staying home and participating in the Annual Snake-Smiting Extravaganza.
A word of Caution though....
Some snakes can spew venom up to 1200 yds, with incredible accuracy..

Maybe it's a good thing I'm going far away from this machine.

See, that's what I mean about you guys, had a bad night last night, didn't get much sleep, finally fell asleep this morning when I am normally waking up, just started on the coffee, SugarBear's black mud expresso rocket fuel, grouchy as hell, waiting on the medicine to start working, come in here and see that Pottery wants to be part of some Annual Snake-Smiting Extravaganza in Trinidad that he has never mentioned before which sounds really dangerous like the "Rattlesnake Roundup" they do every year here in the Western States, and I get to the part about the venom spitting which some Cobra's actually do, and I just took a big mouthful of my coffee,

WHEN I READ THE PART ABOUT THE 1200 YARDS AND I REALIZE I'VE BEEN HAD!!!

Turned my head at the last second to the right so I didn't laugh coffee and half and half all over the keyboard, just all over the floor next to the computer desk.

Laughter has healing properties, I'm not near as grouchy as I was before. :)

Of course you will pay Pottery, that goes without saying. :)
