SEVERE WEATHER; TORNADO TOUCHDOWN

SEVERE WEATHER; TORNADO TOUCHDOWN

Yes friends- it's that time: and, WAY TOO EARLY.  SC is home to some kick butt thunderstorms, especially in the Hot Fertile Breeding grounds of Summer!

BUT IN FEB?????

AS SOON AS I STEPPED OUT IT HIT ME.  OPPRESSIVE.....

BUT AS ALWAYS--THERE ARE BLUE SKIES!

Walking to the Mailbox today I saw more evidence of Spring, as well as an early feel for Summer. It was very windy--WINDS were 25 mph gusting to 40, and there was that eerily, heavy, oppressive feel, despite the wind! 

After dark thirty...it hit. We had ample warning--about 2 days for this front to arrive, but it lost none of it's punch as it moved over the Mountains, and hit our drier air!

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LAST 3 HOURS &

Lighting strikes were up to 6441 per 20-30 minute period. That's a serious light show!!!!

C _ _ P ,   YOU CAN FIND ON A WALK......

BRIGHTER SKIES....BUT, THERE'S ALWAYS A BUT, RIGHT?

BARTENDER & THE DRUNK!

BARTENDER & THE DRUNK!

A drunk gets up from the bar and heads for the bathroom.

A few minutes later, a loud, blood curdling scream is heard coming from
the bathroom. A few minutes after that, another loud scream reverberates
through the bar.

The bartender runs into the bathroom to investigate why the drunk is
screaming.

'What is all the screaming about in here?' he asks the drunk
'Are you alright?  'You're scaring my customers!'

'I'm just sitting here on the toilet,' slurs the drunk, 'and every time
I try to flush, something comes up and squeezes the heck out of my
TESTICLES.'

The bartender hesitantly opens the door, looks in, and says, 'You idiot!
You're sitting on the mop bucket!

 

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are, that's funny.

A NERVOUS TICK:

 

 PIC NOT MINE-COURTESY OF INTERNET

DON'T TAKE ME OFF THE DOG..PLEASE, PLEASE..DON'T TAKE ME OFF THE DOG!

RECORD HIGH, TIME FOR PICS

RECORD HIGH, TIME FOR PICS

Yep, it's that time again. We had a record high of 81 degrees yesterday and I went for the first-ALMOST Spring walk. It's now back in the 50's with 20-30 mph winds. Welcome to SC!!!

The weather yesterday can only mean one thing--MORE PICS FROM THE POND & WOODS!

HE'S BAAACK

SO IT'S TIME FOR THESE TO RETURN.        ALL TAKEN YESTERDAY...........

SUNSET IN PINES THAT HELD 50-70 OF THESE....SEE BELOW...

IT'S A ROBIN..AND THEY ARE ON THE WAY TO FLORIDA TO DO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THESE.....

THE BERRIES MY FRIEND MAKES HIS LIVING OFF OF. WE USED TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT THE ROBINS IN THE 60'S & 70'S. WE GAVE THEM TO PEOPLE WHO MADE ROBIN PIES FOR FOOD!

NOW THEY ARE PROTECTED, (AS A SONGBIRD) AND YOU CAN ONLY "SCARE THEM" WITH VARIOUS MEANS. IT'S SO PC AND REGULATED THAT THE FARMERS HAVE TO PAY LICENSE FEES TO BE ABLE TO SCARE THE BIRDS. PSSSST...IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!! IF YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH A DEAD ONE--IT'S $1000.00 PER BIRD!!!! 

I KNOW- I KNOW--THEY HAVE TO EAT TOO--BUT WHAT DO THEY EAT WHEN STRAWBERRIES AREN'T IN SEASON? I'M JUST SAYIN....

THE EARLY BILL STILL GETS THE WORM RIGHT????

EXPENSIVE HUMBLE PIE HUH?

BIG GOVERNMENT SUCKS..THEY HAVE A HAND IN EVERYTHING TO TAKE OUR MONEY. THERE ARE SO MANY ROBINS..YOU COULD NOT DENT THE POPULATION. THEY ARE HERE TODAY AND WILL ARRIVE IN FL. EN-MASS NEXT WEEK FOR THE FREE FEAST!

MEANWHILE--WE WILL BE PUTTING THESE UP FOR STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE TO LAST ALL SPRING LONG! THANKS BILLY: NOTICE WHERE THEY ARE FROM? THIS WAS OUR HOST IN FLORIDA'S BERRIES'. CITRUS IS LONG GONE---TO BRAZIL!
