Wow indeed!I here they got close to 4 inches in under a hour.
I just noticed this online. Caption: Monday in Toronto.
Don't know how they pulled this off without anybody knowing but it is obvious they got the weather folks turned around too. Watching the weather channel and temps are lower in the midwest and down south than up here in the mountains. New Orleans is 85 and we are at 89 and humid as hell. Yesterday we boiled bee frames in the big butcher kettle and it like to kill me. Lost 5 lbs from morning till night. Went through 6 sweat towels and they were soaked wet when I carried them in. Next 3 days are to be the same or worse. Gave up being outside before lunch time today. Stayed in the a/c and watched the race.

Just sitting back watching the news media
made a total ass out of themselves with this
Zimmerman "not guilty" verdict !!!!
It's just this simple. A man has got the right
to defend himself. PERIOD !!!!
And now, they are wanting the government to
pump up civil right charges on him. B.S. !!!
It is not a racial thing !!!
The guy just jacked with the wrong guy, who happened to have a gun !!!
I have attached a video, some might have already seen this. But it shows that some just don't back down, and put up with the crap..... expecially vets !!!
God Bless America !!!

A+ Two Guns.
In my opinion - Zimmerman stands responsible for the death, in the same way as a drunk driver who drives up on the sidewalk. The character of that drunk's victim is irrelevant to prosecuting the drunk. As a wannabe cop Zimmerman thought his (erroneous) judgement to pursue and encounter overrode his college law enforcement training, his rules of engagement for Neighborhood Watch, and the 911 dispatcher's order to not pursue. The result was inevitable, and highly avoidable.
I drafted that paragraph in conversation with a relative. I'll add one point I heard on the news this evening: The Peruvian guy (Zimmerman) had previously made 40+ phone calls to 911 to report black people where they didn't belong - according to him. I wonder if that illustrates a hair-trigger pre-judgement of what he was seeing the evening he found Martin 'where he didn't belong' ie visiting his father who lived in that gated community.
But really, I would rather see discussions of this sort continue over on Doc's ForumsForums political site rather than here.

Thanks Jamie! And Heatwave.
I enjoy reading here mainly because it is a calm exception to the chaos we see most places.

Hey as long as the politics stays over there this forum looks better and better!
Not much going on so I thought I might as well whine a bit. I was putting up some old bottles on a top ledge in the barn, putting a bit of wire around them so they wouldn't get knocked off, and ... woosh.. my ladder slipped and down I went about 11 ft. As I piled there for a second , I thought that was it for me , but then I started feeling the stuff I landed on.. and here I am fine as a fiddle. Just some knots, bruises and scrapes.. I found my pliers that were in my hands across the shop.. Now that would have been a sight to see.. anyway, I guess my number isn't up yet.. Part of what I fell on was a fluorescent light and pieces of the rollavator( quite pointed) that I am working on now and then... wait, I 'm not through whining yet... ouch.. there ... bordercollie

BorderCollie, please stop that TomFullishness. Glad you're okay.
So while we're whining, I didn't fall off anything and ended up with a walking boot on my right foot. Seems as though I've done such an exemplary job of taking care my LARGE body, that tendonitis found my Achilles tendon. Felt like someone took a ball-peen to my heel. I don't recommend it. I'm laying this off as part of the "Aging Process". Don't like it one bit!
