    That was our 2nd storm of the century here in 6 months.

    Nice year 2k11 😛

    As we were getting the kids ready this am, a family of deer (buck, doe, 2 kids) walked through the front yard. The girls were fawning over them at the window.

    This is the type of thing we really missed in FL. There's a big field behind my office that regularly has turkeys in it and we'll see an occasional deer. When we hopefully buy a house next year we want it to be somewhere where we can see deer/bear and other wildlife in the yard.

    shoot, I see turkeys all day long at work.

    Oh, you mean feathered birds.

    Yeah the feathered birds. I see a turkey every time I look in the mirror.

    Yup, nice place to live.

    Anywhere I can upload a few more? At 3 mb a piece, I'll blow my 20 mb allowance in no time flat!

  • Google drive

    Skydrive

    Share the folder where you put them - that should work.

    So, I've probably had wildlife closer than Gail has, despite the fact that she lives in a grass hut and hasn't ever even heard of electricity or running water. :w00t:

    Mud. Grass doesn't stand up well to highveld thunderstorms.

    WOW! You guys are really modernizing at an amazing rate!

    Why, next thing you know, you'll have unionized employees hired for reasons that have nothing to do with competence or trustworthiness, who can produce amazingly shoddy products and services in incredibly low quantities, for amazingly high wages! Just like a real, modern country!

    "Amazingly high wages"? I guess the US isn't a "real, modern country".

    Guess it depends on what you consider amazing. After all, the "actors" on Jersey Shore get paid, and any amount at all is amazing for that!

    In comparison to most 2nd and 3rd world countries a person making minimum wage in the US is making "Amazingly High Wages".

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's $7.25/hour.

    Would you consider most 2nd and 3rd workd countries "modern"? People making the minimum wage are well below the poverty line.

    It depends on State in 2011

    http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm

    For the most part $7.25, but Wyoming (for example) dips to $5.15.

    Also, if you are in the services industry where part of your income is tips - the minimum wage dips far below that (as low as $2/hr).

    It's between 9$ & 11$ in Canada depending on the province and tip.

    That's not half-bad. Until a few months ago my friend (environmental consultant with 3 university degrees) was making a bit under twice that. (Gross, not CTC)
