Snow forecasts make Birmingham folks crazy

Today the weatherman  (oops, meteorologist) stated that we would get snow in Birmingham. Earlier in the week it was supposed to be just a little. Now, they are saying that it will be 1.5 inches or more. 1.5 inches!!! What ??!!!

 I took the day off work – I will  explain  my day off later. I went to the grocery store around 2:30 to buy a few libations for me to partake in while watching TV and the store was crowded. It was ridiculous. People were buying bread, milk, beer, and eggs. I have never understood this phenomenon. Why buy milk when you think the lights will go out?  I guess you can put it outside so it wont spoil). But, it makes no sense.

MY DAY OFF- Today I got up and did nothing. My cases have taken a toll on me and I really needed a day off. There is nothing better than sitting at home when everyone else is at work. It seems much more worthwhile when others are working and I am watching Judge Judy, going to the barber shop and grocery store. Aaaahhh…relaxation. Back to the grind next week!

    Hey, Eric, when you’re from Fairbanks, Alaska, a little cold weather doesn’t seem too scary, but here in Alabama people go nuts!

    By the way, I’ve been to Fairbanks, and as I was flying out the temp was 30 below!!!!
