| 8:25 pm |  | countrydave (talk/contribs) | On Wednesday the ladies from the social club at work prepared a big turkey dinner. Today they surprised us with a big ham feed at work.  |
| 8:20 pm | | countrydave (talk/contribs) |  Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving. Have a good one! |
| 7:04 pm |  | Terri (talk/contribs) | How's this for ingenuity?  |
| 5:46 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | cool! |
| 5:45 pm |  | Kelli (talk/contribs) |  Terri! I'm in Branson with my Mom for a mini-vacation. |
| 5:40 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) |  Kelli! |
| 5:36 pm | | Kelli (talk/contribs) |  |
| 3:01 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) |  Cub! |
| 2:55 pm |  | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Heading home. Enough work for one day. |
| 2:55 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Killer catfish! |
| 2:50 pm |  | Sol® (talk/contribs) | Hey there Terri. |
| 2:49 pm | | Sol® (talk/contribs) | YESSSsss! |
| 2:49 pm |  | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | banjo used in brain surgery... chek it out. [1] |
| 2:42 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | I'll drop cookies to you on your next trip to Alaska Sol.  |
| 2:41 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Sol! |
| 2:39 pm | | Sol® (talk/contribs) | Man, I never got cookies air dropped to me when I was in scouts. I want to be in Grady's troop. Wait a minute... I'd have to dig a snow cave to sleep for the night... Nevermind. I'll go without the cookies. |
| 2:27 pm |  | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | Yup, gotta watch that hot coffee ! |
| 2:23 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | We get paper cuts all the time, I've burned my tongue on hot coffee before, and I've been inside two buildings as the roof collapsed.  |
| 2:21 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Structual engineers have a tough life too!  |
| 2:18 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | I work at a station that broadcasts the show. |
| 2:16 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | I saw that first segment (the crab fishermen). You can watch it online.. just havn't gotten a chance to watch any others.. |
| 2:13 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Been watching a show called "America's Toughest jobs" - the contestants work as crab fishermen, truck drivers (in north Alaska), gold panners, tower workers, bull fighters... |
| 2:10 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | That happened today I think.. isn't that a man standing right at the edge of the cargo ship where it split in two ? Gheesh.. fisherman and seamen have a tough life ! |
| 2:07 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Incredible photos OldGowl. Hadn't seent hose before. Another reminder that man is not the master of this planet. |
| 1:56 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | Cool photo you posted earlier Cub ! Did you guys see the photos of this cargo ship torn apart by waves at a lighthouse point ? [[2]] |
| 1:54 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Cub... good to hear. |
| 1:53 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | The scouts made it back OK. They were camped about 50 miles up the Matanuska River last night. Our local grocery bakes up chocolate chip cookies, about 4 inches across and packages them 36 to a box. I bought a box and air-dropped them in last night about dinner time. I guess they had a great trip in spite of the snow and wind. |
| 1:47 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | She was certainly the oldest one. Next time you are in a bookstore wander back to the children's section. Mo Willems wrote Don' let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and several others about the pigeon. i bought The Pigeon wants a Puppy. I can't explain them... you would have to see one. He is a cartoonist. |
| 1:33 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Lois Lowry, I've heard of. |
| 1:30 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) | Hi Terri and Lulu ! Just a fly-by .. I am fixing supper.. |
| 1:22 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | I did buy two books and have them autographed. I usually get more but I am feeling the same pinch as everyone else. |
| 1:21 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | Mo Willems, Lois Lowry, Gail Gibbons. Mark Graf, Cynthia DeFelice... Hans Wilhelms was there too. Mo Willems was the lunchwon speaker. he is really funny! |
| 1:21 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | I wish I could have met Robert McCloskey, but he's gone, alas. (Same with Dr. Seuss.) |
| 1:05 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Who did you meet? |
| 1:03 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | Lazy day here also. i went to a literacy festival in Nebraska yesterday. It was very worthwhile. To me it's as much as fun to meet famous authors of children's books as it is to go to concerts. |
| 12:57 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | I wanted to dine at the Mockingbird, but didn't feel like spending the $25-30 this time around. |
| 12:55 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Last night, I went to the LightNUp art co-op - they had an open house benefiting a sanctuary for monkeys. Plenty of food and drink, and musicians.  |
| 12:53 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | well, it's a lazy Sunday so far. |
| 12:48 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | hi Terri! how are things? |
| 12:46 pm | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Lu! Oldgowl! |
| 12:45 pm | | OldGowl (talk/contribs) |  |
| 12:43 pm | | LuAnna (talk/contribs) | hi Cub! I don't want it to look like you are talking to yourself so I thought I should say something! |
| 12:35 pm | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Looks like we're headed for the high side of the forecast today, not the 3". |
| 11:24 am | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | I was just thinking a Mae Robertson tune would be good today and this one pops up! Thanks Feklhr! Appropriate tune for a snowy Sunday afternoon. |
| 11:13 am | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | You could buy one when you arrive. A word of advice, don't buy one bigger than you can lift when full say 500 times each day. |
| 11:05 am | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Nope, can't say that I do. |
| 11:04 am | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | terri, do you own a snow shovel? Might consider packing it and moving to Alaska! |
| 11:02 am | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Cub! |
| 10:57 am | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Forcast calls for 3-5 today, more tonight, more tomorrow, more on Tuesday, more, more, more. |
| 10:56 am | | Cub Driver (talk/contribs) | Send me your tired, your poor, your hungry. This year is shaping up to be a big snow year in south-central Alaska. I think we're goona need help shoveling out. |
| 9:20 am | | Terri (talk/contribs) | Standard & Poor? More like substandard and destitute. |
| 8:20 am |  | Jim (talk/contribs) | And the speaker is Adam Kokesh .... (poof) .... and THANK YOU for the link via his RSS feeds Atuu! |
| 8:19 am | | Jim (talk/contribs) | One of the most impassioned speeches, and some of the wisest words, I have ever seen |
