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.

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.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
