'Morning! Murder on a Tuesday? Works for me!

It started snowing here @ 5am and schools have a 2-hour delayed opening. Steve drove in at regular time and called back to say "Don't do what I just did," Seems the roads are really icy and cars were sliding all over the place. Hills are impossible. I'm sitting here reading the paper and working on my 3rd cup of coffee. School can wait.

Same here. I passed salt trucks on 18 and 287 already coating the roads, even though it hadn't started yet.

Coming down nicely here now.

Moony, are there any job positions open ? I can bake cakes..just sayin'

How much fun would that be? I could pop into your office with a cake while the girls and I do a Broadway number fro you.

So Moony, I'm reading some articles about the roads and school snafu's this morning. Doesn't the DPW get their salt trucks out, if not ahead of time, at least when snow starts??

Back to normal SoCal weather here. Sunny and 70's.

That did not matter this morning this morning though when I slept through my alarm and had 20 minutes to get out the door to make it for my early meeting.

Dried cereal for breakfast as you drive - check!

We were up at 5 am. Mrs Brd worked at 7.

Mooney - be safe outside! I assume my mother in law is in for a few days!

Morning peeps

I believe that howdy comes from "How do you do?" Don't quote me.

Howdy is an informal greeting, commonly thought to have originated as a shortened form of the greeting "How do you do?". It was first recorded as part of the Southern U.S. dialect in 1840. Literature from that period includes the use of "How-do, how-do" as a greeting used by Native Americans when addressing Anglo settlers in greeting. The double form of the idiom is still found in parts of Texas as "Howdy, howdy". Without regard to etymological beginnings, the word is used as a greeting such as "Hello" and not, normally, as an enquiry. Howdy is ideally not followed by a question mark, but may be followed by an exclamation mark.

It is typically associated with Southern American English, especially from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the northern parts of Louisiana and Florida where the Southern dialect is predominant. It is the official greeting of Texas A&M University. It is also the name of the popular web portal at Texas A&M University.
