  1. Was a junior at Lancaster HS.  When we were let out early, I gathered up all the kids in my street and we walked hand to hand like elephants tail to trunk.

     

    My father and I were in the Bowmansville Vol FD.  I was picked up by another member by snow machine to get to station.  I had a big bag of clothes for my father who was making his way home from the city.  Slept on the hose bed of one of the trucks.  Essentially broke into the Tops grocery store on Transit to get food for the couple of hundred people that we had bunkered in our banquet hall.  He and I spent 4 days at the station before we could walk home - 3 miles.  Lots of cars buried in the drifts with snow just packed into the engine compartments.  My dad and I were able to get some big rigs started in order to move cars out of the way on Transit / Genessee roads so that emergendy vehicles could pass.  Snow machines were virtually the only way to get around.

    We didn't have school for what seemed like 2 - 3 weeks.  If memory serves me correct, didn't they have rail cars dead head into WNY and then haul the snow south to melt after they filled all the open spaces?

    You mean Bruce Allen? May want to do some of your own research on Allen and what an upstanding individual he is. Or isnt.

     

    Keep in mind, the NFL was investigating the disgusting office culture of the WFT which was lead by Snyder and Allen when they stumbled across these emails.

     

    Gruden's emails arent even the main event.

    No investigation needed.  I knew that BA was a DB.  The question still remains.

  3. Was working for Square D / Schneider Electric in Raleigh NC.  Normal day - big multi-plant operations review going on.  Heard the news from someone walking by my desk.  Switched over to TBD and WGR radio.  The plant leadership team hustled to get a couple of vans rented and they drove back to Columbia / Seneca SC, Ashville NC and Louisville KY.  Sent text to wife to fill car up with gas.  Nothing got done past noon - left early.  First thing I did was put my flag up.

     

    Still remember the individual that was a frequent poster on TBD and his account of leaving the area and of getting home.

    H.P. Lovecraft.  Psychological horror. If you like Steven King you'll love HPL as King was inspired by him. I got his complete works for my Kindle for a whopping $.99

     

    Many of his stories are short but the themes are often carried on from one to the other.  Not is a serial fashion just thematically.   Good stuff!

     

    Do you mean Cold Mountain?  If so I read that years ago.  Good one!  I have an autographed first edition.  I collect first editions.  I have a first edition of Lovecraft's The Outsider and Others.  Damn thing is worth about $2k!  

     

    Good catch, yes - Cold Mountain.

  5. I called about 2 weeks ago to inquire about a discount expiring.  Got new discount.  While in the discussion with customer service rep he mentioned that I had been a long time subscriber (year 2 of home version ST).  CSR said that if I've been a customer for that long I should get ST for free.  Volia!!!  No begging, pleading, white lies.
