Coffee Break #28 - The cold, dark days

no kinda like leaving something to your grand kids who will remember you for 60 years or more after your gone

Clevland got rid of Edwards because he can't catch the balls he should, only the ones that seem impossible.

The Revis INT was a great catch.

Yes, very cool. Well, not so much about the dead garden bushes. Do you have kids, Bill?

Hey, I am exploring the country and while I am, I want a good hardiness zone map. There's the USDA one, but when you zoom in, the detail is still terrible. http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html

Then, there's an entirely different system (Sunset) that might even be better, but most nurseries don't recognize it on their plant descriptions. http://www.sunset.com/garden/climate-zones/

Anybody know how I can get a more detailed map of the USDA one? What do you use?

This update was done a few years back.

Comparison showing changes.

I've seen that one. You can't zoom in, even on the tif version.

Magnifying glass?

He he he he...

Do you think they have one with the towns superimposed over it so I can get my bearing? I'm starting to think the Sunset one is the best.

Cowboy's win - big !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuck Sorry, Bill. I've just never liked them even though I respected Tom Landry.

no need for the yuck - cowboys win1

Congrats, Bill!

I'm loving the Patriot score!

What station? I can't find it! The phone and internet already went out once today..this lousy sx. prolly ditched the game too--grrrrrr!

CBS. They're losing 24-0 already.

Ugh! I tried CBS at 1--oh well--Thanks

24-7 at the half. There are playing with a crippled team, but have made some very stupid plays & mistakes.

love that the pats lost!!

Chargers now for us.

chargers are tough - vikings will be too

Guess the games are supposed to be tough, right?

what a cardinals game - glad to see the end the packer season

Defensive struggle!

defense won the game for the cards - began the game strong and finished it - UGLY D in between

It was the only game I liked this weekend

Packers will be back tough next yr. They have a young team. I have been a fan of them for 66 yrs., long before some of these teams existed. In my day the cardinals played in chicago--can't stay anywhere.

Found out yesterday that my ailing 87 year old aunt is down to 51 pounds. We are hoping that she is taken soon. My uncle (88) just returned home after weeks in the hospital. He has lost the ability to walk and they cannot figure out why. My guess (and hope) is that they will go together. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

hope they do not suffer long victor

Thats terrible Victor, praying for mercy.

Oh my goodness, 51 lbs!!!! Praying for God's mercy and comfort for the family.

Thank you. Their three kids have really been through so much. They take turns staying with them.

So sorry to haer this Victor--your family is in my thoughts.

My prayers go out to your family members Victor. Hopefully they will not suffer too much longer.

Thank you.

Victor your family is in my prayers also...it is hard to be a caretaker for the elderly, my thoughts are with them.

Prayers going up for your aunt and uncle and their family.

I'm so sorry for your family Victor, thinking of all of you.

saw a flash of something by our front door while making lunch today - this guy had dived down to grab a bird or chippy and just missed.
