Snowy RCC?

Are most of you folks out there snowed in easterners? Not much RCC action
this weekend. If you're like me, you spent part of the day shoveling and
the other part recuperating. 24+ inches on my 50' driveway in the N.
Virginia suburbs. I'll tackle the sidewalk tomorrow. No snow plow yet.
Fifty years ago, this would have brought out the local kids competing to
earn good money. But today most 70-year-olds have to do it themselves, at
least around here, while those local kids relax inside apparently counting
the money and blackberry Ipods their parents give them.

Yeah, by cracky, them young whippersnappers don't know the value of a
dollar. Wait, yes they do, which is why they're not knocking on your door.

What's the matter with kids these days?
Why can't they be like we were, perfect in every way?

You must have run with a different crowd than I. We were a bunch of
snotnosed, foulmouthed little *******s. It's a wonder any of us survived
into adulthood.

More than a few DON'T know the value of a dollar because they grow with
little appreciation of having to work for one.

Got a couple of feet here in Southern Maryland. Today will be the dig out. Only
8/10 of a mile to go to get to the highway!

Tee hee!!! Sun shining brightly in Maine, most snow melted last
week. Didn't get a flake this time around. I find it humorous when
southern climes get what we are famous for. Washington DC has gotten
more snow this season than we got all of our last season.

We had a snowy morning in Central IL on Friday about 2-3 inches in the
morning and another 1 inch overnight, the temperature right at
freezing all day and night. The IL Department of Transportation did
an EXCELLENT JOB of keeping the roads salted and I was able to do a 75
mile each-way round trip (Springpatch to near Macomb) with no real
problems.

It used to be that a person could go to small-to-medium sized coin
shows every weekend from the end of October to the end of March, with
Christmas and New Years excepted. No more, almost all of those shows
are gone (the majority of the former attendees are deceased too). A
decent coin show next weekend in STL, but unless some misc. cash comes
in early, I probably won't attend.
