It's become perfectly clear that the big oil companies are cashing in while average American families are being bled dry," Schumer said.

Schumer and other Democrats are pressing for legislation to tax the "excess" profits of oil firms to fund heating assistance programs, recovery from Hurricane Katrina and other programs.


Its some Bull

Go figure- my gas bill goes from $50 a month and then out of nowhere jumps to $250 when I am in here freezing my butt off with the thermostat on 70?

We got maybe two inches of snow. All the distrticts closed around here .. even though it'll be gone by noon, probably.

It was/is pretty though. At least it seems a bit more like winter.

There apperently was ice on the freeways here this morning. I didnt see any, but they said troopers alone were working over 30 accidents. See thats the other thing about Alabama, when stuff changes drastically, most people are in their own lil world and dont think "Oh, maybe I should slow down a bit cause its raining/sleeting/icy". Then they wreck.

At my work, it looks like most of the snow is already gone. Laura has said its still mostly in our yard (though it is heavily shaded, so that helps).

You know how postal I would go with the snow? Alabama would have the apocolypse if that happened.
I had to go take Eleanor out for a spin just to warm up!! YES I am still cold here.


AND I wanted to take the greyhound to the tennis court to run this afternoon, but its too cold.

AND My birthday is this weekend! Where is the warm weather I asked for?

It's in Texas! Today is sunny and 70! Took Stang on a 60 mile round trip shopping spree just to drive her. I didn't need a thing!

Orange Rules. Yellow is just watered down orange.

I just took a 3 mile walk. NOW I am warm. For the moment anyhow.
