Living in a fraternity house on the University of Alabama campus. Saw the largest snow ball fight I have ever seen on the Quad. Looked like Confederate and Union forces lining up for battle. Watched a K5 Blazer tear across the rec fields with two ski ropes attached to it tow hitch pulling two guys on knee boards and the list goes on and on. Pretty much every adult abandoned campus and left it to the students for about three days. Great time to be young and alive.

That would make me 35. Which means I was working in either Detroit or Grand Rapids.

The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

Busy not being alive…this place might as well be a nursin home I'm offended by this! Most of us are more like Assisted Living, not a nursing home.  I was already an old man that night, and spent most of it wondering if one of the pine trees in my yard would fall on the house. Several came down that night, but that motivated me to get the rest of them cut soon after. Our power was out for about 10 days and I spent many hours running a chain saw to open roads back up. It took years for the land to recover from that storm.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Jamie from Camden
In Gulf Shores for spring break...drunk chick (Jamie from Camden) said it was snowing and I told her she had had enough to drink. Looked out the window of the condo a little later to see snow falling. Not too many things to do at the beach when it's snowing, but there's one thing you can do that was really fun...wonder what ol' Jamie from Camden is up to these days

I made a baby that week. 9 months later, at the labor and delivery, all rooms were full. There was a baby boom 9 months after the “blizzard”.

We were making snow ice cream in Leeds, Alabama. We had a low deck on the back of our little house and our oldest son was about 3 years old. He stepped off the deck and disappeared into the snow. I was like, "Oh $hit!" We had a gas stove and a gas hot water heater. No fireplace and no power. We kept from freezing to death, by bundling up in the big king sized bead and filling pots and pans with hot water all around the bedroom. Strange days those were...

I was recently married so, for the first 3 days of no electricity(ie:tv) we kept pretty busy. After about day 4 she was like ok, we gotta get out of here.
So I dug out my three wheeler and we rode 10 miles on it to her parents house who had never lost electricity.
