I have a word that has been a major part of my vocabulary for the past week, “sucks.” As in the weather sucks. Moving sucks. Taking this long to get rid of my cold (you guessed it) sucks. I hope you are not offended by the word.
Last Saturday, 8 days ago, comedian Lewis Black was on Comedy Central with his 2007 show “Red, White and Screwed.” I am a huge fan of Lewis Black and preferably the unedited version. It’s a lot more fun when you for sure know which word was “bleeped.”
That Saturday night it was cold. Damn cold. As in it sucks, cold. -15 cold. It was part of the two weeks of winter we have every year that makes it tough to want to go outside. It is two weeks that sends fear to everyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line (well anyone really) and why they would never consider moving here.
Watching Lewis Black reminded me of a show he did a few years ago and one part was regarding a cold spell. CAUTION, this is the unedited version. The “f*** word is used”. This is not safe for work or around children:
Like the last Lewis Black comment other than the links below I have no thoughts for the day.
But if you click on nothing else, click Women as explained by Engineers. This was forwarded to me by two women so I decided it was safe to do the link that was sent to Jim by his sister. Yes, I am trying to cover my backside.

The houses in the area do not have sufficient space to store the can on private property during non- collection days; If the street has alley collection, the alley is not wide enough to accommodate the carts and the truck; or The surrounding neighbors do not receive carts and its been DPW's policy not to intersperse carts and bins wherever possible."
