Weather or not

WOW, talk about weird weather. Record highs in some places, heavy rains in other places, along with snow, sleet and freezing rain. It must be winter! 

How do you deal with it? Many of us just take it as it comes. Here in Nebraska I've learned to keep a snow shovel and some ice melt nearby. Some of use cover the windshield with a tarp to keep the ice off. Gotta make sure that tarp is secure, or you'll be looking for it down the street! 

Have you noticed the gas station seems to be busier when the temperature if 30 degrees, rather than say minus 10 degrees? Who wants to pump gas and freeze!?! 

When the weather service puts out a winter storm warning the check out at the grocery store seems to get longer. Besides picking up the essentials, people grab their comfort food.
What's yours? Slim Jims, popcorn, maybe doughnuts. Whatever, I bet you catch yourself next time grabbing something that is non-essential.

Got school children? They keep checking our website (mycentralnebraska.com) for school closings and late starts. 

Pets have a heck of time sticking around, too. An open garage door, or fence gate and they are off exploring. Keep an eye on your pooch when you let them out. 

There are lots of safety tips. Start with common sense.

Me? I've got a Snuggie, and will wait it out.

Spring can't be too far off. Baseball players are at spring training in Florida and Arizona.

Christmas Shopping for wife

So guys, how long does it take to Christmas shop for your wife? I won't do "gift cards", it's too easy and doesn't really show any thought. I've been doing this for over thirty years and have come down to making it a well-honed art. Here are quick easy steps, that won't shoot your whole day or evening. 1) Don't take her hints. Taking hints from her puts you on a collision course for disaster. It simply won be "right". You'll pick the wrong color, wrong size, spend too little, or spend too much. 2) Take some time in figuring what you are willing to spend, and how long you want to spend shopping. 3) Try and make the shopping experience for you painless, and do it quickly. I've got it down between 45 minutes to an hour. 4) Always save your receipts, and clip any sales tags and hide them for when she takes it back. MAKE HER TAKE IT BACK, not you. If you take it back, you'll be taking stuff back until you are in the nursing hom

Winter storm

Are you a little amused by the television wags and their coverage of the winter storm battering the east coast? I realize there's hardships with such a storm, but what about us?   What is it we've been putting up with? 75 degrees and sunny skies?  Catch Steve, afternoons 3-7 on KZ-100

melting / las vegas

The Beach Boys had a song titled "The Warmth of he Sun". Seems to be the mantra in getting this snow and ice off the roads. You may want to catch a part of the Grammies this weekend on CBS. Mixed in with the hip-hop music will be Eric Church, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne with a song dedicated to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre. On that subject of the Las Vegas tragedy, it seems like multiple groups are keeping information from the public. I've read that advance notice may have been known by some public and private groups. Hmmm?
