The Blizzard of 2006.......
As you all know, I despise winter, but a blizzard on a Saturday Night, when I don't have to drive or be anywhere is ok with me. The only thing that is missing right now is a little snoring grizzly bear here in my room with me and Brucey boy. He was rolling around like one crazed dog earlier in the snow. He's going to have a blast tomorrow......
Little bears snore the loudest......
It's been a pretty mild winter so far here on Long Island. It still amazes me how people panic when they hear about a snow event that is forecasted. People take to the roads and speed to the local supermarkets in fear of being "snowed in". The first thing that always seems to sell out in the stores is milk and white bread. WHY????? Are people sitting around by their fireplaces, by their windows watching the snow, or around the TV chomping on loaves of Wonder Bread and chugging milk by the gallon? I just don't get it! If I am snowed in, I want snacks and substantial foods, not Wonder and milk! I think booze, condoms, and chocolate should be the blizzard shopping staples. People stock up when they hear we are getting snow like we live in the mountainous areas of Colorado. What's the longest we've ever been snowed in on Long Island, ONE or TWO days? People buy food and panic like we won't get out of our driveways until Easter.
I saw a woman in King Kullen supermarket right before the blizzard of '96 with about 15-20 loaves of white bread in her cart. I actually went up to her and asked her, "why so much white bread?" She replied, "Mind your own fuckin' business." I went on to say, "That's alot of French Toast lady." On that same trip to the store, I had a half gallon of milk in my cart which was stolen by someone when I was looking at other items because they had just run out of milk. Insane huh? People just snap and think the worst. I was very surprised on 9/11/01 how nice people were. You would think that people would go nuts. I think the only reason people were calm that day was because they were scared and couldn't/didn't plan for it. In a real emergency that we know about days in advance, people will kill you for a can of soup or a slice or Wonder. Six inches of snow forecasted here equals3 feet in some people's twisted minds.

it is insane outside right now charlie. blizzard insane. but it's so pretty. well until i have to go out in it tomorrow.
Bruce is Awesome!!
haha i had to laugh when i read this b/c i know exactly what you mean... when its gonna snow, people clear out the grocery store like they're gonna be snowed in their houses for 3 months! ..and i can't believe someone actually stole your milk! lol its crazy what some people will do.
Look at that Brucie. He looks like he looooves the snow. My dog must have known it was snowing because he wanted to go out at 3:00 am. Then he wanted to back out at 8:00. He never does that. But he loves it too and was running through the backyard like a wildman.
The only thing I don't like about the snow is that my husband drives a tractor trailer and he has to go to work tonite and drive up to CT.I hope they decide not to send them out tonite but it's now 4:30 and no phone call. So I will spend my night worrying.
yeah people will go insane when they think in their twisted little minds that the world is coming to an end.
the sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.
