Snow cancellation?

[BillyMac]

We've been encouraged to call the police department. They're probably going to send a officer, for security, to the site, so they should know if the game is on, or off. Pesonally, I've never done this. The police have more importnat calls to take, especially during a snowstorm.

I once traveled twenty miles to a game during a snowstorm. Didn't get a call from my assigner, or the school. Couldn't get in touch with the school, my partner, or my assigner (olden days before cell phones). Took me over an hour to get to the game. The game was cancelled, but nobody contacted the cheerleadng coach, or the police officer, who I met in the parking lot. The officer confirmed the cancellation over his radio.

Were these the days when one placed a note in a bottle & sent it off to sea OR when birds carried the letter? :-)

We had these things called land line telephones. Some had rotary dials.

Back in the days when the TV remote had two legs, two arms, and had to be fed three times a day.

This is OT but there are times I miss half a program looking for the remote when I could walk over to the TV and turn it but...............

What? No way? You can do that? You are allowed to actually touch the monitor? Isn't that dangerous? I just checked my televison's instruction booklet and it doesn't say anything about doing such a thing. It does say that if you're going to touch the monitor to unplug the television. Maybe it's in the Spanish, or French, instruction booklet? I wish I could remember more of my high school French.

No food if you missed the channel. Or ripped through them.

The storm passed mostly to our north west......we just got rain. Good luck to all you unlucky folks.

Schools are open.

Game on tonight! Game on tonight!

Last night's cancellation already rescheduled for Sat!


Oh yeah - your Federal Govt is open too.

I'm sure the police departments are thrilled with such calls. No, they ain't busy. Just eatin' doughnuts.
