But it is never too wet to do road repairs:

Surprisingly it is currently dry here. But, if my headache is to judge, this weather would not last long...

I marvel at the stupidity every year. The first time they say "snow",panic sets in and it's a run on the grocery stores. They don't pay attention to how MUCH snow. Every single time...

It's like, "don't you have anything left over from that last panic buying run?"

It is amazing how stupid we are when the season changes and we feel compelled to stock up like everyone else in the supermarket. Best stay at home and not go out among the lemmings!

I wonder much more about "tinsmith's day", when after first sudden snow every one, who haven't changed tires to winter ones ends up in either a giant traffic jams, or, if they are less lucky - in car service with a bill for body repairs. It is Russia, snow is inevitable, but there are always those, who think they can drive exactly like in summer and those who think that they can still drive on summer tires and get away with it.

I long for the day when I live in a place where snow is something you drive to, to play in and admire then to slush through.

Sometimes I love the snow, other times I just hate it. 20s and 30s F. are tolerable temperatures for a while. But I havent found the place yet where I have it as good as I do here in Minnesota. For now, I will stay. I may have to come visit you when you get to Hawaii.

The weather here has been great: some rain but mostly pleasant days. EunuKen has taken a job on the east coast and will soon discover what "real winter" is like. I don't envy him.

As a youth, my family visited my grandmother during Michigan winters - I thought I was going to freeze my balls off.

Thank you for the link. It must be in Petrograd or Moscow, because they don't repair roads in the rest of Russia, do they?

I am not sure if I am missing something, maybe about "you can't repair a road in the rain".

There are places such as the north coast of California that supports a rain forest of Giant Redwoods and Banana Slugs too. Roast them, toast them, no cleaning required. Spit out the shell.

It would be impossible to only do road

A lovely day here as the overcast is giving way to another Santa Anna event; dry & hotter

For the last couple of days, I pick a Fuji apple or three over daytime and eat it as I wonder my yards.

Also pick some corn which is mostly worm infested. The wormies take the distal end and fall off easily, so I hit the cob's end against a rock, once is enough - the worms are cleaned off.

Break off the yucky part of the cob and eat the rest raw, there in the garden. It may only be an inch or three but it is sweet and tender, uncooked. I love grazing. Do I have to buy Monsanto seed to avoid the worms?

in paradise.

Fhunter et al

a good program is a History Channel program, Modern Marvels I believe, Pacific Coast Highway.

The challenges to the road in the rain areas of the northern Greatest State of California are reviewed.

Not only fashioning a modern highway into a 90 degree cliff, but also how to protect the road from falling rocks, loosened constantly by the rain. Also a special Arch Bridge around Monterrey and the special design it required.

When you make it to the States, assign at least a week to areas outside of and north or San Francisco, inclusive of the wine country and wonderful forests. Also inclusive of areas termed

"The Emerald Triangle"

Let's not get into Monsanto / Monsatan, please...

Thank you, and you very much.

The problem is, if your climate goes below 0°C, the surfaces must be dry. Otherwise, those patches break up during first winter. Water freezes and breaks asphalt.

And as for the roads... they are repaired. Occasionally. A colleague of mine was near the lake Seliger, and one of the locals joked, that "Putin flies here, so there is no need to repair roads".

(Ok, that was political post, feel free to edit it ).
