Food inflation takes a breather
The after Christmas sale is on. Not only is Christmas candy on sale, but turkeys and hams are on rollback as well. Even better in Kansas, Sunday the sales tax on groceries goes down from 6.65% to 4.65%. Of course most places that sell food are in towns that add 3% to that. Hopefully theContinue reading “Food inflation takes a breather”
Taming the beast
I had to go to Wally World in Coffeyville to get a new phone. When I leave work at Indy, there is no one in electronics to unlock the cabinet with the cell phones. I almost got out of Walmart with the phone when the smell of Buffalo Wings got the best of me. IContinue reading “Taming the beast”
Pizza overload
Walmart tried to give us Christmas dinner this week. Unfortunately caterers are few and far between in rural Kansas and simply not available at this time of year. Fortunately Domino’s recently opened a store in Independence. For the last two days most of the overnight shift pigged out on pizza. With the cold snap IContinue reading “Pizza overload”
Slow going
Last night I had to go to work without a clue as to road conditions. Surprisingly the county scraped the dirt road connecting my house to the main road. The road into town was scraped, but the snow drifted back on the road in some spots. Once I got to town, the roads had notContinue reading “Slow going”
Looking a lot like Christmas
We got 2 to 3 inches of snow. With the 25-35 mph winds it is hard to keep it in one place. As you can see in the picture below the wind is blowing the snow everywhere.
Battering down the hatches
I got some last minute supplies today before the temperature started to drop. We are still expecting one to three inches of snow tomorrow, just in time for me to go back to work. To add insult to injury, Friday’s low will be below zero which happens to be the time I get off work
Big day in sports
I won’t have to hear much about soccer for another four years as the US got smoked by the Netherlands 3-1. In football Kansas State won the Big 12 championship game, which is like being the prettiest girl at an all-ugly contest. Locally, Coffeyville lost its NJCAA playoff game to Hutchinson 38-7. Only three moreContinue reading “Big day in sports”
High School basketball starts tonight
High schools in Kansas and Oklahoma begin basketball season tonight. I need sleep before I go into work tonight, so I will not be at any of them. Last night was a long night. Five people called in and another walked out early in the shift. In addition we have eight vacant positions and onlyContinue reading “High School basketball starts tonight”
