At basketball game for daughter in eagle Grove the other day. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and while drying them saw several people just walking out. Realized when I went to open the door that washing my hands was probably worthless since no once else did.
I sold vacuum cleaners for about a month one summer during college. One of the few I sold was in Eagle Grove. I bet that house is clean.

Hey Boxster, my co-worker's 13 year old niece is starting for her 6A school in basketball. She had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals in her first game. Next time you are schmoozing with Bill, tell him I've got one for him to check out. KState already started contacting her in 8th grade.

I'm far from a germaphobe, but I will almost always open a public bathroom door with a paper towel if the option is there. I've seen way too many dudes walk out of stalls and just walk on out.

Gross.

Your are screwed. Ring Knockers have no sense of humor.

He took it fairly well. Until another coworker mentioned bringing in a a toy boat if Navy won...

Now the debate is if Navy wins do I make another comment next week? The thing is I don't have an attachment either way other than I tend to lean more Navy because well...airplanes.

Nope. Just a little harder to clean up when there is snow. Trees adapt to changing temperatures and actually keep themselves warm by transferring water out of cells. When the water between cells freezes, it releases heat. If the water in the cells freezes, it'll kill the tree. So trees can freeze, but it would have to go from warm like right now, to sustained below zero temps, but as long as there are no cracks or large exposed spots where water can get in, they'll be fine. When it snows, look around the base of a tree and you'll notice that the snow has melted more quickly around it.

Also, woodchips make a great insulator. Always should put chips/mulch around trees especially young ones to help keep them warm. We've moved piles of chips in the winter, and in the middle they are warm. Never tested it, but you also could probably keep some snow through the summer, if you buried it under enough chips.

Use sharp chains and a properly powered saw and you'll never know the difference.
We used to fish at this remote island in Saskatchewan. There was an ice storage shed on the north side of the cabin. They would cut ice out of the river in the winter and store it in the shed, covered in a couple feet of sawdust. Stayed frozen all summer.

I always get my paper towels from the dispenser BEFORE I wash my hands. I hate when you touch that handle and it's wet from someone else. I am a bit of a germaphobe -- at least in public places. But I don't get the flu.

Put up my Rabbit Wall. A little late as the little ******* had already eaten my evergreen winter creeper euonymus and half of my mini cotoneaster. Man, I do hate those little ******* spawns of the devil.

Going to go for a run before it rains again. Will be plotting the demise of bunny rats while I run.
