Snow starved

Radio Question of the Day:

It's a high-end ticket item. There are stores that specialize in selling only these. And yet Wal-Mart sells more than any other store. What is it?

*********************************

We're being snow-starved this winter. Poo. A really weak "system" brought us a whopping one-tenth of an ich on January 22. That was just enough to preserve the record for the season's latest-date measurable snowfall. The old record managed to survive by just one day. It was set on January 23, 1890. I have to say that this 1/10 of an inch was not measured at my house. Naturally it was measured at the airport. We sure didn't get as much as a tenth of an inch *here.
Sad. Just pitiful.

The next possible record in jeopardy is the record for the latest "one inch" of snow on record. The record for that was set on February 13, 1992.
Snow is so pretty. It's so clean. It's so white.

Answer to the Radio Question of the Day:

Diamonds. Huh!

I didn't guess this one. In fact it's probably about the last thing I would have guessed. But then I don't shop for diamonds anywhere. Y'all go see Blood Diamond and maybe you'll give up diamonds too.

* (We don't live in the city of course. So maybe these records don't count for us.)
