At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

Can't get out the front door--there's about a 4 1/2 foot drift blocking it.

Can't get out the garage door - there's about a three foot drift across the driveway; at least there was when I checked this morning.

I can get out the sliding glass door, but if I got out, there's no place to go! There's five foot drifts up against the fence.

Some poor guy has been blading the church parking lot behind me. Only problem, there's no more places to put the snow. He's been shoving it up against the other side of my fence. Not sure I'm too crazy about that. Hope he hasn't dislodged the fence from the cement anchors.

Where is Spring! It'a April alreadyl, for God's sake!!!

This is the third weekend in a row. It was 'sposed to quit snowing mid-afternoon. Hah! And the infernal, interminable WIND!

Enough, already!

And that's all I've got to say.

Sniff, sniff,

Cora

Cora,
I feel your pain. Our USSVI Base had a picnic lunch at the Ft. Pierce Inlet Park yesterday and we were afraid that it might snow so hard it would obscure our vision of all the pleasure boats passing by.Never got below 78o though so we lucked out.

Cora, you had best put some music on your CD player to drown out that wind. Shane and I have tomato plants in the ground along with some cucumber seeds and pepper plants, all looking good. Nice warm spring, shirt sleeve weather. It does dip down into the 50s at night still. I like to crack the window open slightly to feel the cool breeze.
Hang tough, girl. Your 3 weeks of summer can't be far off.
