Winter knocked at the door

No, this image isn't from Houston, but it's snowing! You can see some pics from Houston that I took this morning at http://bdintrainactiune.blogspot.com/2009/12/raritati-texane.html

Winterized

The winter is near...

(Shot taken in Arieseni, RO)

Winter's Signature

Here I got this frozen window, a shot that I took it a year ago. Yep, it was very, very cold...
...and here's my new joke:

A man goes to see the Rabbi:
- Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.
The Rabbi asked:
- What's wrong?
The man replied:
- My wife is poisoning me!
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks:
- How can that be?
The man then pleads:
- I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?
The Rabbi then offers:
- Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know.
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says:
- Well, I spoke to your wife. I spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?
The man said yes and the Rabbi replied:
- Take the poison...

Winter Heaven - part 2

Here's the joke:

After Titanic's impact with the iceberg, a guy get an emergency boat and starts paddling as fast as he could. The captain saw him and yells:
- Hey man, where are you going? We have lots of women here...
- Are you nuts, sir? Do you think in these moments I need women?

Winter Heaven

This is a shot from Arieseni area (same ol' Alba county!). The building that you see in the image is Hotel Cristalin, kinda expensive one ($100/night), the only expensive one. Probably they took the advantage of being the closest one to the skiing area (about 200 yards).

Today's joke is next!

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases.

It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.

It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.
- Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home? asked John.
- Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project, said Tommy.
The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
- Son, said John, this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school.
- We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie, said Tommy.
- What did you watch? asked Marsha.
- The Ten Commandments, answered Tommy.
The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said:
- I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen!
- I am ashamed of you son, said John. When I was your age, I never lied to my parents.
The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair. Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said:
- Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!
With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.

Alone

It seems to be a single tree, but there are actually three of 'em! I took this shot one year ago in Arieseni, Alba county - Romania.

Frozen

This is a four y.o. picture, taken (if I'm not mistaken) in Circleville, Ohio. I was coming from Sunshine State, goin' to Michigan for a local white Christmas. The road was just fine til I reached West Genie (that's WV!). Then it started snowing, and the Buckeye state offered me heavy freezing rain, that beside the fact they already had about a foot of snow. Here, at Tim Hortons I took a coffee break, and of course I grabbed my camera to take some freezing shots.
