    On Sunday, eastbound side of I-80 in Nebraska, passed by something I have never seen before.
    The roads were carp, snow, pack ice and very greasy for sure. Made for some slow going.

    A truck and flatbed completely upside down. The truck was on the roof, wheels to the sky. Trailer still attached also wheels to the sky.

    $80 for 4 Omaha filets with a couple pieces of chicken thrown in. Everyone in the commercial is wearing a nice sweater, you need to wear a nice sweater when you eat Omaha steaks.

    There's some pretty big packages of fillets at Fry's and Safeway for less than $20.

    Boneless skinless chicken breast is $1.99 pound. That's a lot of F chicken for the other $60.

    You can also wear your sweatpants at our house, cause we just kinda slop the hogs.

    Agree.
    Just never have seen a truck and trailer upside down, like that. Still connected just wheels to the sky.

    I am close enough to the ocean to still be "warmed" by it. No snow down here.

    Once you head up toward White Pass all bets are off.

    Expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow up there starting about midnight.

    Not sure whats going on... I went inside to buy smokes, less than 5 mins later I come to see this.

    Doesnt appear to be any damage to any trucks in the vicinity... So I dont think it was an episode of bumper trucks.

    I bought that one time. Total ripoff. $30 worth of meat for $70 +S&H. 2 bright notes though. It comes in a spankin good cooler that I still have and the tartlettes are awesome.
    Otherwise, you're paying about 3x what ita worth.

    Took my fall today also on black ice, in the name of safety, while loading on ice, i had already opened doors and hit the dock, following the security guards directions to walk into the loading office, I found he had sent me to a locked door.
    While walking and looking, wondering wtf? I know this is the little shack,. Next thing, I hit the sidewalk, hardhat went one way, glasses the other, and the stupid respirator I HAD to carry, went somewhere..
    Then some jerk come over from somewhere to ask,”Did that hurt?”
    While getting up holding my arm that once held that respirator, somehow I kept my wit and replied, “Hell no, I do this everyday just to keep in practice.”
