Sending our weather your way, we will be 71. It's nice.

As of 20 minutes ago our forecast for tomorrow is also 71, a drop of 5 degrees forecasted for tomorrow. I'll take it. My last 2 Birthdays have been nasty cold. My family has an adventure planned for my Birthday tomorrow. A beautiful day would be awesome.

I've had a guardian angle the last two months. We went into the city in February and in March. Both days were unseasonably warm and in the 70's. Rare. If I pull off a third weird warm day tomorrow I'll know someone is looking out for me on my Birthday. So excited.

Sympathy like for her. What are the chances of a 5th round...?

I'm hoping this is it.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

7 days until Easter.

Hope the weather cooperates. Have a very Happy Birthday!

Oh my, especially North Texas can be a real tornado war zone. We usually have many tornado watches/warnings here, in the spring especially.
The exception being those few drought years we had a few years back.
We are pretty much just south of what is traditionally called "tornado alley", although that "alley" has changed over time. The worst I remember around here was back in '97 when a tornado destroyed part of a grocery store and did some pretty bad damage to about a dozen homes, about 5 miles north of us.
Again, it seems the hill effect breaks most of it up before it can get setup in perfect conditions and do major damage.
Check out the difference between the old and new added portions of tornado alley on this map...

Wow. That updated chart shows a really wide "alley"!!

Birthday-eve was fun. Such a long day before but fun tonight, hopefully tomorrow proves to be even better.

Is today your birthday?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY (if it is . . .)

Here is a cake for you. (If it's not your birthday today, you can freeze it for your actual birthday. Although, you'd have to empty out your freezer first, as it might take up a bit of space.)

Never heard of Cherikee Red. Maybe not an east coast thing? Never had a Grape Nehi, but I was always intrigued since Radar on MASH loved them.

I've never had either but I'm sure I saw them driving through Georgia. I could be wrong as it was quite a while ago.

I cry too much watching Toy Story 3. Too sad.

That and Up always get to me.

 

[Figgy1]

Love it. I grew up on the Beatles, my aunt who baby sat us always brought over an album or 2

If 68 is scorchio, then we fried at a paltry 82 for a high today. I'm guessing many here would have a major problem with our high double digit and triple digit temps we have all summer long...

Not me

Wrong to think of School on a Saturday but remember these from days gone bye...film projectors in classrooms?

or a phone booth in a park?

or remember simple family fun before video games?

or the awesome merrygoround of school playgrounds? So fun, so deadly?

Or Doctor Scholls sandals? Wooden wonders that molded to your feet that were messed up by plastic replacements?

Or remember the days before one price cleaners?

Or remember the days when TV was not 24/7/365?

Yes to all of the above. My mom even still has one of those old irons.

I know you've seen our swans before, they're not spring chickens, but a right of passage when they return to our lake each spring from their winter dorm rooms. Always so happy for a few weeks before they go back to their mean ornery selves.

I feel the same way about my geese. First sighting first time getting chased

 

[Figgy1]

Happy birthday @Gabe1 I put some wine away a while ago for the occasion but it may have been consumed during the last round of carp. Sorry

 

[Goofyernmost]

We have Cheerwine here in Ohio.

They must be expanding into global business ventures. NC is moving forward all the time, except when it comes to bathroom usage.

You can have all the geese you could possibly want down here and as a prime example of how animals are sometimes smarter then humans, they stay down here year round. The are a royal PITA. They stop traffic as they casually cross streets and highways. Highway ones don't always fair so well in the making it across alive category. I once had one attack my car when I pulled into a Burger King parking lot that it had apparently claimed as its own. And, of course, they are Canadian, eh!

Olive Garden? Happy Belated! Hope your winter is over. That would be an awesome present!

Yes to all. My mom had a couple of those sandals. They also played the Star Spangled Banner when tv programming started up again.

I'll take your Brussels Sprouts then...love those things...!!!

You are more than welcome to my sprouts!

A man of the cloth cursing...!!!!!!!

Happens more than you'd think!

@Gabe1 I hope you have a Happy Birthday! An excursion to downtown Chicago sounds fantastic, I hope the weather is warm but even if it isn't I'm sure you will be fun anyway!
