In summary, the people are going out to a party, and the person writing the summary is staying home. They will be eating pizza and watching a movie. The person will be going to San Diego tomorrow.

They made you work in the lab tonight?
Still am! Everything takes about twice as long as you first estimate! :frown:

There's still leftovers.
You're not planning to drive to Chicago anytime soon, are you? :-p

Well here it is (on the west coast)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oh yeah, I am at work, so not much celebrating here, we have a bad UPS in one of our tools. That should occupy us for a few hours.

We've got plenty of snow here to mark the new year! It's been clear and slightly warm the whole time I was on vacation. Now I'm supposed to be at work, and have to deal with shoveling the snow from the driveway (needless to say, I'll be getting in late today...I'm still staring at what looks like a good 6-8 inches out there when I was expecting maybe 2 inches based on yesterday's forecast). Considering it's still snowing, and there's no evidence a plow has come through my development yet, I guess I'm not starting my work day until after lunch.

We've got at least a foot of fresh snow. Luckily, my wife was able to plow through the snow bank at the end of the driveway with her Subaru Legacy, so I can take my time and let the winds die down a bit before clearing the snow away. We've already gotten more snow in the past month than we've gotten all winter for many years.

The good thing is the snow looks light and fluffy, so probably won't be too bad to drive in or shovel (though I'm still just staring at it thinking this is way more than the forecast prepared me to wake up to). It's the giant sled with rocks at the bottom that they call a road in my development that makes me nervous about heading out. That, and watching the bad drivers on the main road...they plowed the main road about a half hour ago, and it looks pretty clear, but there are either some icy patches I can't see from here, or the drivers out right now are horrendous. The snow looks like it's slowing down, so I'll just give it a little longer and hopefully only have to shovel the driveway once (keep hoping the plow will come through before I shovel so I don't have to go back out when I get home at the end of the day and clear away the mound of snow the plow always leaves at the end of the driveways).

Oslo is almost snowless.

I'm still holding out on the driveway, hoping the plow comes by for a final pass. We've gotten so much snow that they'll have to push the banks back with the wing plow, and that will fill the end of the driveway. I don't want to suit up and fire up the snow-blower twice if I can help it.

My parents/family (military) lived in Oslo (and Bergen) when I was 2-3---We have photos standing in front of that tall cylindrical statue of 'wrapped' people----They told me that it was one of the nicest places they had ever lived.

Oh, yes, the Monolith, or Phallus in the Vigeland Park.
Did your father work at Kolsås, then, in a capacity for Nato?

I'm glad they enjoyed their stay!

What?!---what an endearing name for it!


The work?---from what I've been told--I can't talk about it:rolleyes:


From all the photos they took, it looks like it was great---They told me I spoke 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 English when we moved back to the states---at the same time----for about a year--

One thing I still have is one of those heavy (I mean HEAVY--30 lbs, maybe)--wool lined, white army winter/snow Norwegian army coats with govt. stamps/writing--oh boy, is it warm!

Murphy's law...I gave up waiting since sometimes they don't get around to plowing us until the end of the day, and shoveled the driveway so I could get it done before lunch and then grab a hot shower, a hot lunch, and deal with the ski slope between me and the exit to the development to at least spend a half day at the office today. Got done, just having a cup of hot cocoa to warm up before making the rest of lunch and wouldn't you know the plow just came through. (Ooh, but looks like he pushed the snow to the other side today! Yay! It's not all mounded in my driveway! :smile:)

Then they either worked at Huseby or Kolsås. :smile:
(We know where they are, but not what they do..)

YAY! I managed to make mine and all threee of us (me, FB & Dr Foofer) pigged out, I must say these were the best black eyed peas I've ever made. I made a double batch of greens so the Evo Child would have some and I ate them all. :redface:

Same here. I hope this means a successful ski season there.

I always hated it when the plow would come by right after I did the driveway. That snow is so heavy and packed from the plow. Luckily my new place has plowing and shoveling included, right up to my front door. Then they apply a ton of snow melt, so it's kept clear of ice.

Yes, giant orgies can lead to those. :wink:

What else is there to do on those cold Norwegian nights that last for six months?

Certainly not DURING the giant orgies, though, so who invited the kids?

Its Europe. Say no more.
