O and S, how can snow and ice make a lighter note??

It just reminds me of bidens cold dark winter prediction.

1: It makes for a very light world as in you need dark glasses or have to really squint when outside.
2: The younger ones really have fun playing in it.
3: It's pretty. Just go outside and see. It's something we don't get a lot of and gives us a break from the normal dry, drab, days of winter.
4: I posted it as an alternative to the constant doom and gloom that has become the normal thing on GBO and has been for months. If it's not politics or religion there isn't much here anymore. If that's your only  cup of tea just ignore me.
We have lately gotten into the habit of watching reality shows instead of the news.
But, her friends keep sending political crap to her phone.
Tonight for example, is 7 little Johnston’s and oak island.
Besides, I was just funnin ya. ;D

I figuered as much and was just funnin' back. The younger one's do enjoy playing in it. I enjoy making them sweep the snow off with a broom before I let them back in the house.

My wife is a fan of Oak Island. I give her crap about it by telling her it's just a bunch of geezers sitting around a table BSing or watching holes getting drilled or dug, finding an ol' rotten board and almost going into hysterics over the find, and then watching water run in and fill up the hole.

My tractor looks like GB's only it's orange.

During the storm when I found the rose bush, the state crew ran over EVERY mailbox on our road for a 1/2 mile stretch. Didn’t miss a one.

I've noticed those guys don't don't even tap the brakes when they hit mailboxes, they just keep on going.

Up north and back in the day, I’d ride with a snow plow driver during the night. Remember lots of beer.
