I'm a 45 year old gay bear living in Columbus, Ohio with my partner of 12 years.
I'm in the fifth year of my second career (Nursing) after many years of experience in the corporate world.
Here's Steve, the love of my life....
And here's our four legged child, Dakota:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
5 days after the largest snowfall ever recorded in Columbus, and it’s all gone. Melted. Heading downstream to the Ohio river. The temperatures have been in the 40s and 50s for the last few days and all of that hateful snow is gone daddy gone!
I hope it’s the last we’ll get for the year, but experience tells me otherwise.
Conversation between one of our nursing assistants and a 93 year old patient:
Nursing Assistant: “Mr F., why you got to be so mean?
Patient: “Because you madame, are a pain in the innermost recesses of the rectum!”
I love my job.
That they got this to stick to the DVD:
Sure it has Sean Connery in space aged lederhosen, but sheesh...what a cheese fest!
The snow started falling Friday morning around 10:00, and by the time it was over on Saturday afternoon we had 20.5 inches of snow on the ground, 15.5 of those falling over night Saturday.
Both of those totals are records for Columbus. The last time that much snow fell on one day was in 1910.
The talking weather heads here are calling it the “Blizzard of ’08” or ‘The Storm of the Century” The wind was never fast enough or sustained enough to make it an official blizzard, and the century is only 7 years old, but I can forgive a little weather hyperbole this time I guess. The coverage during the storm was bad enough. One local reporter with no yard stick or ruler handy, resorted to using the following items to illustrate the depth of the snow:
- A 22” baguette from Panera Bread
- 2 sacks of White Castle sliders
- 4 Starbucks Venti coffee cups stacked on top of each other.
It’s unusual for Columbus to be ground zero for a storm like this. Normally, it’s Cleveland that gets it the worst due to the lake effect snow off of Lake Erie, but this time, all of the elements of a perfect storm converged right over central Ohio.
