Time to take some ibuprofen. I'm so lucky to live in this time period when ibuprofen is so easy to get. God bless our pharmaceutical industry.

I can't wait till I travel around and find a place where I can be happy living at. Being surrounded by corn fields and Bible thumpers and having a giant stuffed cow and humungous oak stump as a main attraction is not a very happy place for me to be living.Better you than me
I just took two pumpkin pies out of the oven for tomorrow.

Seriously, here it is. This place is so lame we get excited over this:
Kokomo's stump n' steer: a supersized twofer - Hidden Gems Indiana
In a city famous for its many firsts -- the first push-button car radio, the first pneumatic rubber tire, the first mechanical corn picker, the first canned tomato juice -- two historic attractions in Kokomo’s Highland Park offer the city an additional claim to fame and put a different spin on the word “landmark.” Mention these at the next cocktail party or neighborhood barbecue, and we bet you’ll get asked for directions.
At 57 feet around and 12 feet high, the enormous stump served for years as a local novelty and gathering place before city officials proposed moving it to Highland Park as an artifact of Kokomo’s pioneer days. Today, the giant stump occupies a glass-enclosed shelter in the park’s Visitors Center.
Weighing an impressive 125 pounds at birth in 1902, Old Ben had to rest on his knees to nurse before he was a week old. By 1906, Ben weighed a whopping two tons and drew hundreds of visitors to the Murphy farm to marvel at his size. Sideshow and circus owners offered to buy him, but the Murphys turned them all down, preferring to showcase Old Ben at festivals and fairs. The steer became such a celebrity that the nearby Nickel Plate Railroad ran a spur line to the Murphy farm to make his travels easier. In February 1910, Old Been slipped on ice and broke his leg and the Muphys had him shot to end his misery. By the time he died, the steer weighed somewhere close to 4,600 pounds, stood 6-and-a-half feet tall at the shoulder, and measured more than 16 feet from his nose to the tip of his tail. And his tail gets stolen a lot.
And that is a huge chunk of town that isn't bars and churches. Granted their sizes are impressive, but it's one of the few things to go do around here, which is to go see those two in a park that has no good hiking trails.

My own RMA, my teacher on Monday let me know that the humanities offices are being moved, so there will be alot of books to check out on the free book table (which I look over on a regular basis). I went today when I got off work, with my backpack in hand, and walked out with an bag load of philosophy and religious books, probably about 18-20 of them. It's gonna be a pain though because most of them will be finding a new home after I've read them, and I don't know anyone who would care to have them.

My guy is looking at the same thing. He's getting ready for work right now and he works in a town about a half hour from here. It's still snowing and expected to continue through midnight. Roads aren't the greatest now, though hopefully by morning (when he comes home) plows will have everything pretty clear.
Not many forest fires in the city. Given the Texas weather and the Texas State "bird", I'll put up with some ground movement:

I've always heard that's the state bird of Maine. I've seen some huge mosquitos in Missouri. But they say Maine mosquitos can carry off small children.Not many forest fires in the city. Given the Texas weather and the Texas State "bird", I'll put up with some ground movement:

Stay safe and drive slow, only good thing about it for my drive home was that most left for their Thanksgiving trip yesterday, ahead of the storm, and most people went home from work earlier than me so the traffic was not to bad
