Here is what we got here in Easton PA over the weekend. I am about halfway between Philadelphia and New York City. Our town is right on the Delaware river. We got another 2-3 inches yesterday afternoon and they are calling for 4 tonight. At least it was warm today 31 degrees

Hi Rick
Beautiful picture of your home with snow at Christmas. I have also heard of these homes referred to as a square D house. A contractor from a midwestern state built many of these same homes sans basement in old Shreveport during the same time period. The large rooms, high ceilings, and beautiful woodwork make them a highly sought-after home. I also like craftsman bungelows and many old victorian -appointed homes with the steep hip roofs and rather tall windows. I do love my architecture.

foursquare homes
Hi Dave,thank you for the nice comment about my house. I really do love it! Yes the foursquare was usually built with a lot of charactor,and quality. When we have a storm at night,I don't even know it until the next day! Limbs,and power lines are down and all. I never here a thing here,unless the rain pounds on the window glass.

Just dropped my check in the mail to become a member of the Maui C of C. So now you will REALLY hear me push Maui!
Its 82 here right now with clear blue skies. Pau hana (after work) we are going to the ocean as they are prediciting high surf with 15-20 faces (big waves). So beautiful!
Well, there is one bad thing about paradise-with no winter to keep things in check, the bugs grow fat and sassy here. The roaches grow to about 2 inches and they like to fly right at you when you confront them. There was this big buggah on the floor of my shop, laying on his back. I went to scoop him up and his legs started kicking. EEeeeeewwwwwww! I was almost screaming like a schoolgirl! We also have horrid centipedes that grow to @8 inches long and can bite you! I am so glad our rent includes monthly bug service!
I still prefer this to snow!

Roaches
David
I remember those nasty gargantuan flying roaches!! In Miami, we called them Palmetto Bugs. I guess no one wanted to admit they had "roaches". The big horror was to have one get into the house and start flying! EEEEKKKK! We'd scream to the top of our lungs because they always knew how to dive bomb us!. We would be swatting at them with a rolled up newspaper. The sickening "pop" they make when they are squished is equally gross.
Here in Texas, we have pretty much the same breed of nasty roaches. I tell the kids, if you kill one, flush it down the toilet. Those suckers have a way of coming back to life!!
FYI: It is 79 degrees here this afternoon. Tempting to get back into the garden, but....I know another cold snap will rear its ugly head before spring.

David, my cuz, whom I hooked up with in Cali last week, just spent 5 years over there working for Hilton Hotels, and really loved it. He's in Cali now working for Four Seasons and loves that too. When he graduated college 5 or so years ago (he's 28) he was offered a job in eastern Wisconsin where he grew up. He was offered another in Hawaii for $5,000 less, but decided to go for the adventure and is glad he did. He's had promotions and is making far more money doing more interesting work and has had more fun life experiences than if he'd stayed in Wisconsin, where he'd probably be married with children and trying to stay warm, LOL.
It is interesting I had never thought about some of those issues about living on an island such as mail taking long or things not being available in a store. But, I'm glad you love it and kudos to you for making your dream happen!

Flying roach-they had those miserable things in the workplace I was at in Wash DC-Sometimes you would see their "shadow" on your desk--the roach was crawling thru the overhead flourescent light!When you stepped on one-the "crunch" resounded down the hallways!-and then it left a semipermenent brown spot on the floor.They were a good 2- three in long!and over an inch wide-these didn't fly real often-preferred to crawl.They would fly if they were scared.the exterminator there said our building was the only one he found them in.We also used to "freeze dry" them with freeze spray-got quite a collection of them-one time one of them "unthawed" and scared the wits out of our secretary!Froze him again!We had a drawer full of them!

Rex - that was so gross! It keeps bringing back memories: Dad with the old Gulf pump bug sprayer...he would see a roach a grab that sprayer (looked like he was packing a Tommy gun)and spray that foul-smelling, petroleum-based stuff all over the place. It's a wonder we didn't all die of asphyxiation! He sprayed enough to drown the darn roach.
I didn't think that roaches lived that far up north. Guess that's another misconception about these pests.

Venus, you just brought back a repressed memory of my grandfather. The scenario sounds just like him LOL.
I've heard New Yorkers refer to them as "cockaroaches" LOL. I thinnk they survived the ice age. They're everywhere they can find a spot to light well on their life.

Roaches are a very hardy critter-they can survive all kinds of hardships-including radiation that is lethal to a person.As long as they can retreat to a place that is dark,humid and warm and food-they are good to go.They can eat and survive on just about anything.Its always said when humans are gone from the planet-roaches will still be there.I hear stories of them living under the streets of New York and other major cities.they get brought in on ships and planes-and get plenty of food and warmth in the tunnels.plus the little beasties can reproduce well too.
Frozen Roaches
We started doing that at work as a joke and when things were quiet on the nite shift-thats when the beasties were on the prowel-time for the ROACH hunts with the can of circuit freeze spray(aerosol cans that sprayed a freezing spray to spray on suspected intermittent electrical-electronic components to see if they fail)Think more spray was blasted at those roaches than components.We put them in the parts cabinet in the drawer marked"special IC's"When the secretary(she did parts inventory)checked that drawer-one crawled out and scared her-I was working in the other side and heard her blood curdling scream-came out and refroze it.

Thamk God i have never seen one in my home.Here is a nasty story. I was using a laundromat several years ago that was run by indians (eastern) and this place had Maytag neptune fl washers.
I was starting to load the machine when i saw cockroaches start running across the top of the machine.This skeeved me no end. I was frantically pulling my clothes out of the machine to see if i had these litte cretins on my laundry. Thank God i did not.One reason i hate to use coin-op laundry. That is just too filthy.
Getting way too ploitical here, but most americans i would think are more used to sanitary conditions.Those nasty disease carrying varments.

I used to live in an apartment building that had the things-Your "pets" provided by the landlord or the neighbors-I hated the days they sprayed your apartment-just drove them out of yours to another-then they came back and brought their roach freinds.Filled many a vac bag with the things!And they also loved the apartment laundramat.I think at times they were cooked in those old giant dryers!you could smell something rather-yuck as they ran.
Well, it also snows here in Las Vegas. We got a light dusting a couple of weeks ago. But this photo was taken a year ago in January. About a month after I bought the Mountaineer, I was thinking about the all wheel drive version. My dealer said, "Why, you'd never use it here."
That was a fun morning. I had to turn on the swimming pool pump to keep pipes from freezing. The poor dog, almost fell in the pool as he was skidding around the snow and ice. And the drive into work was loads of fun. People here can't drive when it rains, yet alone snow.
