The thunder here last night was extremely loud! Maybe in my mind I was thinking this is January in NE Ohio...and we have thunderstorms.
Did you have snow, too? Was it thunder snow?

Hubs was cleared by the Dr. and walked out without the boot! He brought his right tennis shoe with him to the appointment. When the nurse saw him holding his shoe she teased him about being optimistic! He is walking gingerly because he is just a little scared still but I'm sure he will be normal, or at least walking normal by tomorrow.
After the appointment we went to a British pub to celebrate. He still wanted me to drive home because he hasn't driven since October 30th and the road were still fairly slushy with yesterday's snow. So we didn't celebrate with too many adult beverages!He does have a church meeting tonight and was pretty excited to drive himself there, just like a kid with a new driver's license.
WOO HOO!! Yea for your hubbie kicking the boot!! This is exciting. He'll be back to driving himself in no time. So happy for the both of you and glad to hear that you both celebrated at a British pub.

Some of the crazy names for beer these days...!!!
Remember the age of simple names...?
Budweiser, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Lone Star, Texas Pride, etc.
These days, I wouldn't be surprised to see a brand called Beervus and Butt-Heads Crazy-A$$ Ale on the shelves, or The Damn Good Beer Company Pale Ale.
They're all either trying to be more outrageous than each other or out-clever each other...!!!!!

I agree Cesar... it seems to far over the top to be anything more then a parody combining collective situations into one story. Anything is possible, but, it seems way to far from normal to be real.

For the kind of cruise we did, yes, just day excursions, but, they were plenty fun...!!!
We left port on a Saturday at 4p. The whole next day was a sea day across the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of fun on the ship! We ported at Costa Maya on Monday morning at 8a. We had breakfast on the ship and had an excursion from mid morning 'til late afternoon.
The next morning we ported offshore of Belize. There was no docking in Belize City. All excursions were handled by tenders. Again breakfast on the ship and mid morning til' late afternoon excursion. That was the day we did the barrier reef snorkeling and Starfish Island (my favorite coconut tree of the whole trip!!!!!
) excursion...!!! That night we were off to Cozumel. Same song, third verse in Cozumel that Wednesday...great fun...!!!!! Next day was all sea back across the Gulf. Back in Port of Galveston by 8a Friday morning.
I've already posted about some debarkation fun.
Bottom line...BLAST-O-RAMA...!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had some crazy commutes, but tonight's goes down in history.
R train in NYC - rush hour - packed like sardines in a can.
Halfway under the river between Manhattan and Queens, a sudden and deafening BOOM!!!!!!!! Sounded like a bomb went off.
Accompanied simultaneously with the black tunnel outside the train turning orange, as if with fire. And sparks flying everywhere (outside the train).
People screaming, gasping, generally having heart attacks, as the train screeches to a stop. Lights go off. Air conditioner goes off.
Silence.
Then, over the loudspeaker:
"Ummm, okay folks, obviously, something just happened. So we are going to have to ask for your patience while we try to figure this out. Train is in emergency mode, so unfortunately, the air has to remain off."
Everyone starts freaking the hell out.
Two women who were apparently on their way to the airport start asking everyone if they think they will get there on time.
One guy starts screaming that we derailed - gets in a fight with another guy who says if we derailed, we would be listing to one side.
Everyone in their winter jackets sweating their butts off.
10 minutes go by.
20 minutes go by.
Someone comments: "Ya know, if we're sitting here like this, all the trains behind us are all backed up." (What a genius.)
Someone else: "We might be on the news!"
30 minutes go by.
40 minutes go by.
Someone: "Look, they are outside, looking at the train."
Someone else: "I know we derailed!! They are gonna have to walk us outa here."
Airport ladies: "We're gonna miss our flight!"
45 minutes go by.
Light suddenly come on. Air conditioner comes on. Car full of sardines cheers. Train doesn't move.
50 minutes go by.
Train suddenly starts crawling forward at the speed of an elderly one legged dog.
Eventually, we arrive at Queens Plaza.
Insult to injury #1 - "This train is out of service. Everyone please leave the train immediately."
Thus, 15 gazillion commuters try to shove on to a just arriving E train across the platform. Three trains later, I am able get on, and the train I get on is apparently filled entirely with flu patients. Coughing, hacking, sneezing. I should be in a hospital bed by this weekend.
Insult to injury #2 - Something really wacky clearly happened in that tunnel and now I'll never know what. MTA only says it was a "mechanical issue".
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ok, so if you want to spend more than a couple of days in a particular city or area, you shouldn't do a cruise? There are SOOOO many places I want to go, and a cruise would hit a lot of them on one trip, but then I wouldn't really have a whole lot of time to explore. I just need to win big in the lottery so I can travel everywhere I want to go instead of working.
But, there are sooo many different kinds of cruises all over the world. Research it...!!!

Strange commute but it could have been worse. I wonder if the airport ladies made their flight? Although maybe they should have left for the airport earlier.

These kind of occurrence happen a lot in Mexico city's metro.
The metro uses bus tires instead of metal for moving (to reduce noise and vibration) and sometimes they explode after long usage.
