Just got this field report from our man about town, CH. He got 2 feet of snow in his neighborhood...

bullet

From the storm pics I took, I carved out these 16 that were taken at MacNeil Park in College Point. These are best viewed full screen. It's hard to believe you are still in NYC when you see these amazing images.

bullet

We had a heck of of snowstorm yesterday. I ended up working form home. During my lunch hour, me and my bride went to the park to go sledding and Ro took these great pics of the 2/26/10 Snowstorm. Mine are coming soon.

We lost Skyy our blue beta fish the other night. He started to swell up, stopped eating and was lethargic for a few days. He went thru a lot, and we will all miss him.

The bank hosted a Chinese New Year lion dance in the lobby of the building the other day. It was very nice.

Fashion Week is finally gone, and the work has begin to restore our wonderful lawn at Bryant Park. Good riddance...

Well, this SETTLES it for me. Once the UN stamps an issue with their support, I know the right way is the opposite way. Its a lot like using the views of Al Sharpton to help you decide your views. If he goes left, you go right. You can't go wrong.

Check this out. An amazing archaeological find in a place called Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. It's 11,500 years old, 6,000 years before Stonehenge.

Did you know that this bastard is still alive ? The Lockerbie bomber who was let out because he had less than a few months to live, still lives. It's a miracle. I guess living in a villa has special medicinal value in extending life.

It was a matter of time before Congress began thinking like any other American corporation. Here's a news article on the future outsourcing of the President's position. Thanks to NM for fishing this out of a hometown newspaper.

I don't understand who Tiger is apologizing to, and why it is so important as to be on national TV. He had enough time to go to each of his friends in the room, have lunch or dinner with them and apologize in person like a fucking man. I also don't understand the 'other women' who feel they need to be apologized to. What the phuck is that all about ??? Didn't they screw a married man ? Her certainly doesn't owe me an apology. In fact, the more we know about him the better for us as consumers of his message or product. He didn't sign any contracts with me that had morality clauses embedded into them.

bullet

Here's an idea, send Barry and his band of misfits in Congress copies of the Constitution. Perhaps one of them might actually read it. And if they don't, don't fret.... We the People will be weeding out the krackheads in November.

Got our federal tax refund today. I don't know where Paterson gets the right to delay my state refund. He never asked my permission to keep my money longer than required, so return my money....

It can't be easy work for retired TR. To have to surf the internet all day long, looking for the hidden bargains, and important information that every consumer should be made aware of.

Check this story out. There has been an underground coal fire burning in a small Pennsylvania town for 48 years now. The fire started in 1962, has burned underground since then, spreading and growing, The entire town has been evacuated, and needs to be torn down. There have been a few hold-outs, but they are being forced out now.

bullet

I've commented a lot on the concern out of Iran on some of their missile testing activities. If you recall, last year they set off missiles that detonated in the mid-atmosphere. Our MSM plugged them as failures, yet I was worried about them being prepatory for an EMP attack. Well, now we have Iran’s ICBM Capability on Global Display , with their most recent launch into orbit of a ship carrying 'live animals'. This orbiting craft now needs to de-orbit and bring these poor critters back to earth. If they do it successfully, they are one step closer to delivering an EMP nuclear blast over the middle of America, knocking us back to the stone age. Read also this EMP-101 primer to fully appreciate the potential with this type of attack.

Check these pics out. We came across this at Whitestone Park. A large tree limb was split and down. We found these 2 objects embedded inside the section. It's a kids top and a brick perfectly intact but embedded in the trunk. Amazing.

For all those contemplating 'cheating on your taxes', here is the 2009 Tax schedule. See how much you would have to lie to get more money back. It's almost impossible to be worthwhile. If your taxable income was $30,000-$60,000, you would have to lie about more than $10,000 in fake deductions to only get back an additional $1,500. How are you going to do that without it sticking out like a sore thumb ?
