Um, yeah.
I love the frustration of realizing that the gutters were a wee bit too dirty when the snow machine turned on. The gutters are solid blocks of ice and I had this nice imitation of a stalagmite hanging of off the front porches gutter. It was nicely hidden by the white post that allowed the massive ice flow to blend in since the door and driveway is on the other side of the house.Yes, it went all the way to the ground and fused to the base of the porch.
That picture was from Tuesday. I attacked it tonight with a saw, file and hammer after it roasted up to almost 40 degrees. The size had doubled but the top of it had finally weakened a bit.
The end result: about 250 lbs of ice that fell like a petrified Redwood through the already snow squashed bush to the left.

The crap I find in my fridge.
I don't exactly consider myself a seasoned foodie. My diet mainly consists of Cheerios, Bologna sandwiches topped with a slice of cheese food product (pretending to be America) and canned pasta (unless I have time to boil it myself). Don't worry about my fruits and veggies; those are snacked on raw instead of junk food.
Last night I stumbled across something freaky as I was putting leftover pizza in the fridge:
I don't have a problem with the whole Tofu Vegan thing, but stop trying to pretend to be what you aren't. We live in a nation with labeling laws, strict ones when it applies to food. That is not Italian Sausage. And the "anything stuffed in an intestine is sausage" logic does not apply. I cite the Patty Melt Rule: Is it a sandwich or a burger? Think about it.
If your head doesn't hurt yet, figure this: What is used for casing in a vegan product?
Pardon me while I reach for the Deli Select Pastrami off to the left...
