IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!!!
Last year’s first “major” snowfall brought my link to an old favorite about people’s craving for French Toast when the storm of the century arrives every year. This morning I decided to make chili, so off to Wegman’s I went with the other idiots to stock up, though on decidedly different materials.
This year, my mom mentioned her favorite weather guy online put on...

It’s more change than you could’ve expected from McCain or Hillary, my friend. Count your blessings.

That’s why it took me 10 minutes to get home from the grocery store in the middle of the day on my day off. It usually takes 3 minutes. Turns out he left his speech (10 mins from my home) at the same time I left Wegman’s. He blocked traffic for me. :) Err… with me in it. :(
