Default OT 'BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!'

yeah, I'm in Va Beach, but right next to Norfolk. Pretty crazy weather,
huh? One day I thinking, hey I should have started some seeds weeks ago
and the next day it snows.

Funny you should mention the Big Truck ... I went to the Janaf OfficeMax
today to get the spindle of $9.99 DVD-Rs. Was there right when it
opened, asked a clerk where to find them and she says "sorry sold
out" ... and the store just opened! It wasn't like there were hoards of
people walking around with spindles. But then she's say there's a truck
coming in tommorrow. sigh


that's a cop out response from someone not in the receiving section of the
store. Someone just didn't order enough to anticipate the supply and demand
factor, or enough wasn't shipped out.

Makes me think of all the poinsettia's we got at our Lowe's and the demand
wasn't great enough from what corporate thought we needed for the holiday.
On the other end of that, though, another Lowes in west Knoxville had to
order 750 MORE plants than what they'd gotten in because the demand exceeded
what was anticipated.

LOL, amazing to think how much we all depend on for daily conveniences from
the trucking industry and people sitting around a table deciding how much of
what we need........life just ain't simple, is it? g

and speaking of Baby it's cold outside..........tonight, coupled with the
moisture we have from the fogs and rains before the cold front, the
temperatures are going to the teens with wind chills of sub-zero. If ever I
needed to have mulched that Mexican sage I bought from Reba, it would have
been tonight, if I had any mulch or leaves to do so with. I only hope that
it being in a raised bed and on the south side of the house helps
any..................
madgardener glad for the warm waterbed, two dawgs and three of the six cats
who snuggle with me while Squire is gone.....................
