    I never saw an ugly thing in my life, for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful. ~ John Constable, English landscape painter, 1776–1837

    First snow of the year, and on my birthday too! surprise    Lake effect snow off of Lake Erie.  8 to 15 inches predicted.   I was going to go see "Fantastic Beasts" movie today but chickened out when I saw the black clouds coming.  Instead I picked up a couple of big chilies from Wendy's, a Sub sandwich from Subway, a candy bar, some eggnog, and a bottle of champagne.  Going to snuggle under my granny blanket and watch several hitherto unseen episodes of "Poirot". smiley

    Happy birthday! I raise a forkful of my microwave curry and take a sip of imported Mexican beer in your honour!

    Bugger just saw Arsenal play to a 1 -1 draw with Manchester U.  At least my Wisconsin Badgers are pounding Purdue. 42 - 13

    Actually it isn't.  It's all photoshopped.  If you go to the shore, there's actually no ocean there.  Little known fact.

    ....at least a bachelors if not a masters degree these days.

    BTW, anyone know which university has a degree programme in warehousing and inventory management?  Seem to be seeing a lot of these positions requiring one lately.

    Thanks for the happy b'day wishes.  Though, these days I'm more sort of looking for "congratulations" instead of "glee" or "compassion". smiley I've reached that age where each birthday is another obstacle overcome. 70 is the next big rock in the road. surprise  There's one more pothole before it but I can see 70 loomin' large and with luck will hit it.

     

    George Carlin's views on ageing:  (warning: it's George Carlin!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W58K-5ArFzo

    Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

    'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

    You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

    'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ... . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

    But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

    You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

    But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

    So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

    You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

    You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

    Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'

    May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

    My Dad taught me to reckon my age in fractions, the way he did.   I first discovered the system when at the age of 18 I heard my Dad inform someone who had asked his age "I am 32 and a half"  When the nosy Parker replied "You look well on it"  he then added,  oh BTW this is my daughter.  We then swished away, leaving nosy scratching his head

    Snow!  About five inches this morning and it's still snowing hard.  Wet, gloppy stuff.  Glad I got my uptown chores done.  But by Thursday (Thankgiving) temps will be up and snow may have soughed off the car and the driveway may be OK, but then more snow is predicted for next weekend.  It's hibernation time!

    Snow,   we had snow as well

    http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/breathtaking-images-capture-first-snow-12201409

    I live in what is romantically referred to as "The foothills of the Brecon Beacons"  I am at just under 1200 ft, Pen y fan is 2,907 ft and is the highest of the 4 "Beacons" that give the range and the National Park it's name. These photos were taken yesterday.

    We had more snow overnight and I woke up to a white garden.
