  1. Yeah... Assuming it's a machine where the operator sits outside. May not have ROPs (RollOverProtection). Curious to what happened here. Hope they say, because these things other people may learn from.
  2. Snowblower or plowing? They say plowing. How does one get hurt plowing? Crash into a tree/obstacle? Another vehicle? Small tractor and fell off it? Snowblower I can see... Like when Colorado Avalanche star Joe Sakic stuck his hand down the chute to unclog the machine. /smdh
  3. "...Life ain’t easy in fact I know it’s sleazy, when you’re the big man in town. Shakin’ religions and makin’ decisions, you never get to slow on down..."
  4. So was Cam Lewis batting ball down on 4th and a zillion miles, instead he was going for INT. Maybe... Just maybe, Bills have unfinished business to accomplish on the road for the Football Gods to be appeased? 😉
  5. Not looking good? They are officially eliminated. So much for Saleh seeing us again! 😆
  6. Yeah... But who would you rather see in a possible playoff game: The Cheats or the Dolfelons... Which one is easier? Who would you rather see bounced if BFLo doesn't get a bye? Miami or NE*? But if Tua comes back for playoffs? If there's no chance at getting the bye, say Bills lose to Cincy and they flex the Pats* game to late game. Losing to NE* bounces the Phins.
  7. Not anymore for the team with blades on their feet.😔😟🙁
  8. 😆 https://musebycl.io/advertising/even-bmw-now-making-fun-lexuss-big-red-bow-holiday-ads "I CAN'T WAIT to see what you got your mother!"
  9. Or just ShootingTheShit. I wouldn't say faceless. Place to make friends and meet up at games. Only toxic if you want it to be.
  10. That's the thing about driving bans in stuff like this. How does one save people. You'd... Think maybe they should start a program like volunteer fireman. Or maybe like a Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) program. Sanction certain groups to aid in rescue by first checking their private equipment and vehicles to make sure they pass rigorous standards to survive in the snow. Just like on the water. Then, when a storm kicks up... Emergency Services has auxiliary to help. Just saying... Something has got to change. As much as driving bans help... They may be killing people too!
  11. I think his commentary on Facebook was around 2008. I tell people all the time when they ask why I never had a Facebook account: "Ask Pope Benedict." (Bad enough getting off this place)
  12. I don't think he was a villain. Changing times. I did agree with previous poster... But in general.
  13. Elvis is in my wife. The cats come to the door to greet her... I say: "Elvis is entering the building." When she leaves, I announce: "Elvis has left the building!" This can spin-off to an all Elvis channel/thread...
  14. Agree. AND moving The Church to more tolerance with gays? First German in 500 years (coincided w/the Reformation?) But... He was spot on with social media. Blind squirrel finds a nut. Broken clock right twice a day I suppose...
  15. RIP. He's one of the first one's that warned about Facebook and social media and it's destructive pitfalls during social media's infancy. I never made accounts outside of this place (if you consider it social media) thanks to his sage words and warnings. 😏
  16. Wow! God giveth, God taketh. Maybe the almighty knows to get ready for rounds 3, 4, and 5. It's only the end of December. All merciful for letting each round melt. 😉
  17. Yup! During the "Children's/Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888" on the plains... Pretty smart thinking. The rescuers anchored a rope to the closest house and then went to the schoolhouse and anchored it there and then rescued the children. "Near Zeona, South Dakota: The children at the local school were rescued. Two men tied a rope to the closest house and headed for the school. There, they tied off the other end of the rope, and led the children to safety." Another 1888 story: "Mira Valley, Nebraska: Minnie Freeman safely led thirteen children from her schoolhouse to her home, one and a half miles (2.4 km) away. The rumor she used a rope to keep the children together during the blinding storm is widely circulated, but one of the children claimed it was not true. All of her pupils survived. That year, "Song of the Great Blizzard: Thirteen Were Saved" or "Nebraska's Fearless Maid",was written and recorded in her honor by William Vincent and published by Lyon & Healy. In 1967, a Venetian glass mural of The Schoolhouse Blizzard of 1888 by Jeanne Reynal was installed on the west wall of the north bay in the Nebraska State Capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska, for the 1967 Centennial Celebration. The mural, in a semi-abstract style, portrays a purported incident in which a schoolteacher, Minnie Freeman, tied her children together with a clothesline and led them through the storm to safety."

  19. Wow! I didn't know it was that much. Nice. I think as population density goes, Japan snowiest place. ??
  20. "Holidays must end as you know. All is memory taken home with me: The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea, all years ago."
  21. It's believable, well done Photoshop. BFLo snowfall is only 75% off the record up in The Keweenaw AND it's not even January: The arrow is the last year's snowfall. The bottom mark is lowest year ever, the top, the record [~390"]. Buffalo is a 1/4 way there... Who knows what that looks like plowed or cut blown with a rotary snow removing device? Yeah... I am the Fool. I think the Pic W.Seneca PD used was from a place in Japan. Boy did I bite on it. Anybody else but the cops. I guess I am not that local anymore. My argument is, law enforcement shouldn't be in the comedy biz especially during a natural disaster. Maybe it helps the locals... But outsiders who don't get the inside joke may take it seriously. At least create a parody account. Again, they want everyone to be serious. I just don't think it's professional to mix an Official Site with stuff like that on Social Media. It was pretty well done Photoshop if you're not a local. There's an actual road like that in Japan. They get 300" a year. Snowiest city (as a population density) on earth even know say The Keweenaw in The UP of Michigan may get more... Nobody really lives there. It's believable to me because the Photoshop was well done.
  22. Yup! Exactly. The government pushing FakeNews. Why is it on me? Should we not trust them? They want us to. And it wasn't obviously Photoshopped. Pretty good Photoshop. The only reason... I didn't really scrutinize it. It looked official. Came from an official account. I blindly trusted it.
  23. I am not on main social media. It can spread virally other ways for days. Unreasonable as it is, it's plausible and a very good job at Photoshop even though they say it's a bad Photoshop job. Glad they do something bad! Still Bush league. The police shouldn't be in the comedy business during a natural disaster. They want people to take them seriously... Stay serious. They go beyond the locals. Since my days there, I still see the department is behaving badly. Back in the day (1980s) my parents got hit by a drunk driver in West Seneca. They were stopped at a light and the drunk rear ended them. The WSPD responded to the accident and arrested the dude... It wasn't until they got him to jail that they frisked and found a gun on the drunk driver! Yikes! That God the guy was out of it and forgot he had the weapon on him... He could have shot at the responding officers or my parents. Anyway, still sounds they take things seriously there today. (My parents found out because my uncle was a Cheektowaga cop at time) If they are going to do the comedy bit on Twitter, do it in an unofficial capacity. I did grow up there, of all people, I should have known....But the road they used is my may in when we come in. My MiL lives there alone. Yeah, I took it seriously when I saw no exit for the 400. They pranked me. Great, the police pranked me...
  24. My wife made Airline reservations to Philly/NJ area that weekend. LoL... To visit daughter in NJ. You gotta be kidding. Is that an omen or what? ???
  25. During the Blizzard of '77... My father stayed @ Fork's Firehall in Sloan/Cheektowaga off Broadway and Union. He was heading home south on Union, coming back from VA doctor appointment when a car got stuck under the Broadway viaduct on Union. He couldn't get around the Lady. They had to abandon vehicles and go up to the firehall. I think a whole group of people were stuck there for about a week. Angry people do angry things.
