Snow In Moose Jaw

 Well this was 3 days ago when it started to snow in our general direction. We still don't have much even though the weather said we where going to get a bunch last last. It never happened, but the roads got nice and slick though.
This is the night after the above photo was taken, there is a bit more snow now, but not a great deal, maybe 1/4 of an inch in total has fallen. Normally by now we would have more then this.

It keeps getting warm outside and melting the snow so it does not stack up like other years. Heck some years we had a couple of feet of it by now.

I remember as a kid the one day we got 6 feet of snow (some time in the 1970's) and school was closed for a week. Well it took 6 days for the province to dig out from that one. I remember opening the back door and there was snow all the way up and no way out.

We really don't get nearly as much snow as we did when I was young. But now and then we get a good dump of it. Most of the time it blows away it seems as we tend to get a lot of strong winds in the winter.

One time in May we almost got stuck out at a truck stop (maybe 20 years ago). We went for coffee and there was only our table and one more. Well being MAY I was not expecting snow. We got busy playing a word game and then I saw it - snow to the bumper of my friends car...

Well we where toast it seemed. Then the other booth that had people had an issue. The Mother of the guy yelling for help was having a bad seizure. Well the waitress called for help and they sent a snow plow to lead the ambulance there.

We had to go around the waitress station to get past the poor woman to follow the plow back into the city. Well it turned off before we got home, but we never got stuck. The city seemed to have half the snow as out on the north service road, so we got lucky.

It's not unusual for us to have snow in May, in fact the average is 1.1 inches. Most of the time by then it's nice weather, but now and then not so much. Our winters are long and can be very cold. In fact it went to -56 C one day. But that's another story.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
