You and I don't but lots of people. I have three brothers who always
drank a lot of milk and still do. One brother drinks at least a litre
of milk a day. I have not had a glass of milk in decades and a 4 litre
pack of milk usually lasts us at least two weeks. I usually end up
making some pudding to use it up before it expires.

The last time I had pudding is probably as many decades ago as the
last time I drank milk.

This event, the 35 trucks in VB that we own, got augmented to 63. Some
distro salt and sand, others are ploughs. We have apparently 900 miles
of roads in VB. Thats over 100 per truck and at best, 1/2 are ploughs.

Sheldon is lying as normal, but he may get more road ploughing than we
do. Nature of the area.

900 divided by 35 = 25.7
900 divided by 63 = 14.2

You should see a truck with good frequency. They should be able to do
at least 12 mph so every two hours or so.

You and me both. In my case, my dislike (hatred?) of milk was my
mother's fault.

I have a very fuzzy early memory of myself at about 4 years old,
sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of milk in font of me, and
not being allowed to get up until I finished it. It was summer, and
the milk got rather warm in the meantime.

I'll eat pudding, ice cream, whipped cream etc, and use half&half in
my coffee, but to me, milk is not edible.

I drink and use in cooking at least 4 litres of 3.25% M.F. milk per week
winter and summer. After a hot afternoon in summer it is especially
refreshing.
Never had a problem with it other than the fat roll around my middle.

My street is still a solid 2" block of ice this morning.
Wish I still had my old ice skates. hehheh

These nighttime teen temps killed my car battery. I thought it was good
but evidently not so good. I'll wait until Wednesday when the
weather will really warm up before I call the boss for a jump.

No one here has left anyway so even if he came today, he wouldn't
be able to park next to me for cables to reach.

I'm definitely with you there, Cindy. Back in the 1970's, I would
buy a whole bag of baby food for surfing trips to Hatteras.
They were cheap, quick and good enough.

Just last month, I bought one. I saw a coupon in the newspaper for
a new baby food flavor.

Beech-Nut "Just mango, apple & avacado." (4.25oz baby food jar)

That sounded good to me so I bought it with the coupon. Loved the
taste. sometime, I'll recreate that using fresh produce.

And I saved the nifty jar too. Right now it contains some chopped
and dehydrated onions to use in some recipe someday.

I use a baby food jar for shaking up the olive oil, lemon, vinegar etc
for salad dressing, just a nice size.

No need!

If you really have "2" inches of ice on the roads, ice skates are a
luxury. Last time I experience ice that thick on the roads, I could
go half a mile in combat boots while hanging onto a car's door-knob @
20 mph. .

I do and I also like the occasional glass of milk with a meal.

That's what you get for not going for a ten mile spin the previous day
when you have an old clunker battery and you know cold is coming. Why
bother your boss or anyone... get a small battery charger, it'll work
with a long extension cord, or there are some that store enough charge
to get you started and are totally portable, but then your old battery
will still need a trickle charge:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...=32YZ9VJVJ2OVV
I bought a battery charger from Sears some 40 years ago, I think it
cost $39.99. It does 6V/12V, quick start, and trickle charge... saved
my butt several times. In very cold weather I'll give the battery an
over night trickle charge, next morning it could be -20ºF, the car
starts up like it's a brand new battery... a trickle charge will give
an old battery another year of life.

Was -2ºF here at 6 AM, now a steamy 11ºF.
Actually a very mild winter here so far, hardly more than 6" of snow
(most already gone) and rather warm.

we are not accustomed to real snow. Quite often it is melted off by 9
a.m. We have 16 plows for the city and county (many bedroom
communities in county). The National Guard helped with plowing this
weekend The city supplied Internet maps for the city storm drains so
you could locate the ones near you and clean out the gutters and
drains around you to help with any flooding. Drain cleaning is
necessary because we got about 18 inches of snow and now it is raining
with more snow promised for later today and this week.
Most of us out in the West are not accustomed to measurable snow
unless it is in the mountains. So, no need for plow type equipment.

Fair enough, I'm not one of those people. I rarely buy pre-made foods
as a rule. Tinned baked beans is about as close as I get.

Hoy! I didn`t say that, our snow removal was excellently done and the
streets were great when I went out. Now after the car was parked for
three hours in the -19C it was bloody cold when I got back in.

Otherwise, I'm stunned that an actual US Congressman of more than 20 odd years (Ron Paul) could end-up saying something to the general public about expecting canned food to be good for near 25 years. Can you believe that?

Not canned, but there are foods that will last that long. It has been
advertised on TV for the survivalists.

You missed that at best, 1/2 are ploughs.

Mine is 8 inch solid ice. Silina not ploughed (as normal side streets
are let to melt off). Wr did get enough sanders to cover VB BLVD and
they did Lynhaven (east side, not the split by my house) and maybe most
of witchduck to Holland? Police officer at 7-11 told my husband
Rosemont hasn't been touched. I can't tell as that's 2 mles uncleared
street from me.

Actually, I wonder if Donald Trump is scared that that may happen with Arnold Schwarzenegger in four years. Otherwise, why would Trump have gotten so unnecessarily angry at his acting in the new Apprentice show?

I thought Schwarzenegger couldn't become president of the US because
he's not born in the US.

He can't but it would make a great movie.

Ex special forces guy becomes president. Terrorists kidnap his family.
He calls up all of his old buddies and takes off on a rescue mission
himself. New Arnold quote, like "I'll be back," would be, "This is
personal." Of course Tom Arnold would be his secret service guy tagging
along and freaking out.

Half the 63? That is about the 30 or 35 figure.

You should invest in a battery charger.... but you'd probably rather
take the day off.

From my experience, having worked on a maintenance crew and in the
district equipment section of our highways department, the winter
maintenance fleet is usually at more like 2/3 sanders and 1/3 plows. The
sanders are out a lot more often than the plows. They out before the
plows to lay down some salt. They go out behind the plows to spread
sand. Sometimes there are out sanding when plows are not needed. Plows
can go our and plow the entire route several times on a tank of fuel,
but sanders carry a limited amount so they have to come back to the hard
for more material.

We have no work right now anyway so if the van *was* running I'd only go
to the grocery store. I don't need to so that's all that.

That said, it's a company van. I'm not buying a charger. He can damn
well come over and charge it himself from his truck.

A new battery or a new alternator may be the answer. When batteries get
old they don't keep a charge as well. Batteries tend to lose power in
the cold, but it has to be really cold to kill one.


My wife has a friend who is a bit of a dip. She had asked me to
recommend a good garage and later came to me to complain about the work
my friend did.She wanted me to talk to him because, she claimed, he sold
her a defective battery. He told me that he had told her she needed a
new alternator but she refused. All she wanted was the battery. He said
he told her it would not last, that she needed the alternator to
recharge it and that it would go flat like the old one.

I've never seen a movie with Schwarzenegger and I don't know who Tom
Arnold is, but it sounds like a blockbuster to me.

I recommend "True Lies" also starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Both have a
hidden talent for comedy.
