To John's Obituary

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=127525451

Now living in Youngsville. My occupation was International Import/Export Customs Regulations/Law for 26 years. Took a very early Retirement. Do need to find a part time job though. To much time on my hands.

Take it one day at a time.  

I have been through so much over the past 2 years including the death of my father, if you knew everything I've been through, you wouldn't believe it. The most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years is no matter what you have been through there is alway's hope and friendship.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Hey gopanthers, sorry to hear about your back. I wish you all the best with that. We've had a good beginning to the year so far, nothing major has happened...that's always a good thing. I'm in between on SB teams, I like the Colts but would love to see the Chargers win it all b/c of Rivers being a NCSU grad. I always enjoy watching the playoffs, kinda like the World Series to me, LOL. Have a good Sunday afternoon.

ps. I know what you mean about too much time on your hands, I got a part time job and love it. Geez, I had to do something other than play golf, LOL!!!!

Your friend, Hal

Hey John, go check out my images on here. There is a great picture of a double sun dog in Fairbanks, Alaska in the wintertime. They preceed a storm most times, as they are suspended ice particles, high in the sky, almost in the outer limits of where clouds form....check it out, they are pretty neat.

Hey John, We are just now starting to gain daylight...and yes, its still dark a good bit of the time, and when the sun is up, it only comes up a little bit above the horizon. Here is a link to a webcam in downtown Fairbanks that is "real time" and shows the temp too. It over looks the center of downtown and the parking lot of a few bars. Across the street from the bars is one of the oldest churches in town. Check it out, it is pretty cool.

Hey John, Well that was an exceptional thing to do and after all you will never regret it. My only living grandmother lives in a assisted living place outside of Atlanta. She is 97. I want to go and see her and maybe I can after I get the biz stuff out of the way.

Hey John, First, yes, we are 4 hours behind the east coast. Second, I am an open book on here, ask away anytime. I work for the BLM, Bunch of Lazy Men, LOL. I work for the Alaska Fire Service. We are a branch of the BLM and the only federal wildland fire agency up here. We also maintain a Type 1 Incident Management Team, one of 17 nationwide. I have been on it for 8 years. I have worked for BLM for 21 years. I came up here with the military (10 years in the Air Force) back in 81. If you really are thinking about coming up here, let me know. I might be able to help you have a better trip up here. Hope you are having a super Tuesday!!

Yeah, I had never heard of that one before. I'm not sure if it applies to the beach or not. But we have piles of salt and whenever the salt is delivered to us from the coast, seagulls just about always follow. Maybe they're supposed to fly south for the winter and aren't at the beach either... One of the guys at work told me about it and swears by it, but who knows!

Hey John, No problem Buddy. If you find yourself coming up here, let me know. I work in the summers out in the bush (270 air miles west of Fairbanks) and I cant just drive back into town, no roads, but I would fly back in town if you are coming up....provided we are not fighting fires. Just let me know and we will work something out. Hey, you could come at this time of the year....LOL...it is starting to get a little bit light now....and I am off work in the winters...LOL Have a good one buddy!!!

Oh that would be FUN! I remember a few years ago when we had that big ice storm. A lot of people in Garner electricity went out. All I had was my warm and fuzzy blanket, my fire place that I miss so much, some ham, cheese and bread. Guess what I did? I used my fire place to make me a grilled ham and cheese sandwich!! That was the best sandwich ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gee I wish for more snow so that I may have a few days off to get some much needed rest, without using my vacation time and with pay!!! YAY!!!

Hey John, This new golo thing has got everyone in a jump... The 7 to 7 thing is ridiculous, but according to Angela there are so many members now that they are moderating every story. I guess they can't afford to have 3 shifts of moderators, so they cut of the comment lines. You can still comment on golo anytime. If you read the golo blogs.... about this they say to get some golo friends together and create a chat about any one topic..... instead of commenting to the story.... Their idea is to get the crazies away...

I told Angela that would only make the crazies more determined and ---- they would just start posting to our profiles... so at the end of the day -------- nothing has been accomplished....

I think the snow may go East of the Triangle and just like unpredicted.... be East of 95 - I have rain and 40 degrees... If the temp. drops like they say it will be a MESS - we are set up for an ice storm if the 2 systems collide......

Hmm... I'm not sure, I guess we shall see! I think it's "supposed" to be something like 10 days after you see the seagull. How long after you see the black birds is it supposed to snow?

Good morning stranger-- We never did make arrangements for that lunch meeting you promised when you were in CA. I'm messing with you. I'm writting about the snow forecast. I think that is a wives tale about the black birds because they have been flocking in locally for some time now. The bird you want to watch for is what we call the snowbird. It's a junico and they will always flock in groups on the ground looking for food. You can about predict snow by them. I also see them at the feeders this a m. so that may be a good thing. Snow snow snow. Are you ready if it comes. How is your friend doing that went to Australia? I bet she is really enjoying it over there. Last but not least how is Zoe and the other babies doing.

Hey John, Just made the grocery store run.... wanted to see what the bread and milk panic crowd is doing.... Why do people buy bread and milk if the weather is getting bad? You can't live on bread and the milk is gonna go bad if you lose electricity. It makes no sense but that is what they do everytime. I love to go and watch the "panic" crowd.... running up and down the aisles like they will not get back home....

We are 41 and raining right now.... The cold front is on the VA border and when the low and high collide it could be bad here.... Everything is wet here and if the temp. drops suddenly we are set up for an ice storm.........

Hi John. Yeah, it became a disappointment for us too. Came down in big flakes for a long time, but barely dusted our yard. Nothing left this morning except around the trees. :( Our dogs saw their first snow last year, lol. Too funny. My German Shepherd did her biz and then turned around and turned (they wouldnt let me use the other word for that *sigh*) her head sideways because there was steam rising from it, lol. That was a pricelsss moment! Hope you are having a good day! :)

Hey John - I think you got more snow than we did. Wasn't anything to brag about, that's for sure! To my knowledge, dogs do not get frostbite. The Huskies pull the sleds in Alaska, so, I would think all dogs have the same feet, and can weather snow conditions. I know Madison had a great time in the snow! Have a great day John!

John, We got some snow about 7:30 and it was really coming down about 10:00. By midnight it was pretty much gone. We got up again about 2 and got something to eat. No accumulation though.

Two of my dogs were in their dog houses and one was laying in the back yard chewing on a deer skull she drug up from somewhere. It was a nice 8 pointer....... but all she brought up was the skull..... She is always dragging something up here.

Knight's Tale is a cult classic! If you've never seen it, you should! It is one of my favorite movies. Great scenery (with Heath of course) and great music (a lot of Queen). You should be able to find it in the older movies if you still have a Blockbuster near you.

Must add, while Heath was certainly eye candy for the ladies in the audience and the humor of the movie was stand-alone good, one the best characters in the movie was "Chaucer." What a riot!
