No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Drinking Right – TONIGHT

by @ 16:00. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated to give you your three-hour warning on tonight’s Drinking Right. You are instr…er, invited to make your way to Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee. The drinking starts at 7 and continues until the last person is done.

We now return you to your regular blogging.

Sorry about that; unplanned server upgrade

If you’re seeing this, we’re back on-line here. Bluehost decided to move me to a new version of Apache, which knocked this place silly the last hour.

Today’s NRE PSA – In fog, slow the heck down

by @ 9:53. Filed under Weather.

I agree 100% with Grumps on this:

It had been present for nearly twenty four hours. The time to begin driving cautiously was long past. Stopped vehicles do not “appear in the fog.” You may feel that way because you are driving too fast to see them in time.

Slow Down. The life you save may be your own.

One more thing; turn on your lights (low-beams, please). Visibility of a self-lighted object in fog is pretty close to twice that of one that is not self-lit. It doesn’t much help with absolute-zero visibility, but that’s where the slow down rule really comes in.

I’m still standing

Perhaps barely since I’m in the middle of a nasty chest cold that travelled up to the head and back down again (which means it will in all likelyhood be gone by 5, not-so-coincidentally 2 hours before the January Drinking Right). Yesterday’s weather was just very wicked, though the worst passed to the south into Kenosha and Racine Counties, and the big hail somehow ended up just north of me. Wisconsin, based on preliminary reports, increased its January tornado total by a factor of 5. Kathy Carpenter has some coverage the media is missing so far.
