We'll talk about the weather.
As of 5 a.m. or so, 41 of our 55 counties were reporting either school closings or delays. Twenty-two counties are under a winter weather advisory until noon tomorrow; the surrounding counties are under a warning.

Who called Al Gore? It's a proven fact that every time he shows up to talk about global warming, he brings with him record lows, record snow falls & all sorts of bizarre weather.

Somber Stupid does it again. Every school around Clayberry is shut down due to snow, ice and freezing rain and we have a two hour delay? The magic wand waver is going to stop it from coming down?
Make more sense to me the sooner they get to school the less snow or ice there would be to deal with, but what do I know. After all Beckley is 48 degress and its headed our way.
Parents just keep them at home today and maybe they will get the hint.....
Tue Jan 27, 05:43:00 AM
The 2 hour delay was just a CYA measure so he could get a few hours of sleep before he makes the *real* call to shut down.
Hope y'all made it to the grocery store yesterday!
LOL Four minutes later ....
there's Sarah, with the message that school is closed. See? Sir Super just wanted to sleep until a semi-decent hour.
Finally making the call everyone else had made hours earlier Clayberry closed up. More then likely after reading the message that is cut and pasted here. I like that magic wand waver better then Somber Stupid Super.
Why is it that the higher up you get and the more money you are paid the dumber you become? Is it from lack of air from all that A** Kissing they do?
How bad does the weather have to be to call off school the night before? no matter what forcast you watched we were getting pounded. Maybe God Lispy thought he could change it.
must we stick to the subject. you say weather then all we get is school. I wonder if mt. top removal affects the weather. and what kind of vegetation is sowed on the contour replacement material. maybe THE DUKE will help us. does anyone care or do they just want talk?
Ask the people down on Buffalo Creek if it affects the weather to remove the mountains and plant back locust sprouts and multifloral roses mixed with Autumn Olives. They plant these things back because they take over everything and every place their seed is dropped. Nothing will benefit from what they plant back ever in our lifetime or that of our childrens children.
It is the best way to get rid of pesky people who own the land adjoning the coal companys. So what if it floods them out, their homes have been destroyed by blasting anyway. Of course Fola Coal don't put off shots like that. Just walk into a newly remodled home near them and look at the windows broken, drywall cracked and flaking or foundations crumbling beyond belief. They will be the first to tell you "Couldn't have been one of our shots" to have done this damage. They will even set up a sizemygraph in your yard for a couple weeks and I will guarantee you will not hear a shot put off during the time it sets there. Soon as you have it out of your way the house again shakes daily between 5 and 5:30 P.M. or it shudders because of earthquakes every day about that same time. Get the Duke to verify it also because just like Somber Super Stupid that brown on his nose is not from sunshine.
I don't disagree with much of what's said about mountaintop removal. I do, however, take issue with a few things.
Mountaintop removal destroys what takes nature hundreds of years to produce. You can't "reclaim" that & expect a 200-year forest to crop up overnight. So while we won't see the benefits of reclamation in our lifetimes, our children's children will. Well, they would, if urban development didn't come along & "reclaim" what's already made somebody rich.
What I really take issue with is that nobody says a word when mountaintops are whacked off to build a new prison or a new Wal-Mart (complete with Lowes & Applebee's & everything else that follows Wal-Mart).
There are compromises to coal mining. Like most things that take money out of somebody's pocket, though, nobody really wants to talk about them.
My PawPaw was a deep miner for years & years & years. He died of ailments directly related to black lung. He never once complained about the food on the table or the clothes on anybody's back.
Coal has always been and will always be a double-edged sword. Those who don't depend on it will never understand it, those who do depend on it will forever defend it ... then there are those who have no idea how dependent they are on it but still want to jump up on their soapboxes.
I've got a soapbox, too. I jump up on it & suddenly, I'm 10 feet tall. I kinda like that.
sizemygraph - Is that an English word?
Is that an English word? It may not be correctly spelled but I can spell out what you can do really well. If you need the answer to that go back a couple post. If that won't do let me know I will post it here in capitol letters just for you again.
just thinking, why don't they plant buckwheat on the mt. tops. let the Amish strip farm, red clover and farm some bee hives. Nothing like the aroma of fresh horse turds, good for fertilizer too. understand buckwheat makes good pasta, no glutin in it, no wheat either, healthy. yum yum
put these lazy younger generation too work farming. give 'em a ho and put them out earning a living.
wild red raspberries and native chestnut trees. bees love chestnut bloom. somebody tell the DUKE we don't want pine forests replacing our native flora and fauna.
"capitol" letters?
Capitol letters - what you use when the person you're trying to communicate with is as dumb as a politician.
I think some pawpaw trees would be a good reclamation plant, too. I used to love pawpaws; haven't seen one in years.
Based on the overtaking of my "backyard," I can attest to the spreading power of blackberries, so maybe that'd be a good option, too.
Here in WV, we have hundreds of acres of clear land that causes all sorts of ulcers for all sorts of people. Meanwhile, we're lead to believe there's a food shortage in the world. Seems like there should be a happy medium (dare I say compromise?) somewhere.
This is a fine example of something that should be discussed in CAPITOL LETTERS. I like that - a new internet-lingo word.
Remember, capitAl letters when you just want to "yell;" capitOl letters when you need to yell at a denser audience.
teeheehee
Did you hear they were going to put Obama's head on Mt. Rushmore?
They couldn't find a coal seam.
HA! GOOD ONE, HUH?!
Or use capitOL letters when you just don't know any better just to prove you're the dense one. I like the politician comment.
Oh Ms Rose they have plenty of blackberries on the reclaimation sites also. Briars of every sort that a rabbit can't get through and those Autumn Olives are a big nuisance also. The grasses they plant back is a type that is all stems and nothing will eat it.
And I still say that your kids or their kids will ever benefit from the trash they replant with. The locust are the kind that rots out if you try to use them for fence post very quickly so they are worthless. They are planting back some hardwoods now but it takes them 200 years to mature. I have seen some Sycamore trees planted on Fola reclaim but they to are worthless as they have no value except to the drug companys. People are allergic to them and have to take allergy shots to combat them. For lumber use they are worthless.
they make fiddle handles out of sycamore.
I think no matter what they do, there's always going to be somebody who's going to bellyache about it.
I think they should reclaim with tulips & charge everybody $1 to tiptoe through them. $5 if you want to tiptoe in the nude. They could use the profits to buy bees & import birds that could pollinate the land & the whole world could be covered in tulips.
Anybody who's allergic to tulips would just be SOL.
The nudists might have a problem with the bees.
always with the bellyachin
Wow. No Sarah this morning. It must be Spring ....
I always heard it took ten men underground to produce the same amount of coal as on the surface. This could be the way to stabilize the economy. Ban all Strip Mines and make 'em do it underground, therefore stopping all the mountaintop removal and 60% recovery system. Trees and vegetation look better standing up then shoved over the mountainside.
What does S.A.R.A. stand for? School Area Response Alert? Stay Away Really Away?
Sleep And Rest Allday?
I believe Rose has a "BirthDay" coming up"Again" wooo Hooooo!
It's a brand new year, I think we all do!!! WOO HOO!
My birthday's not 'til JUNE!! I'll let ya know where to drop off gifts as it gets closer ... teeheehee
If you were trying to get out of Bomont this morning & got stuck behind that gray car doing 20 mph & riding the brakes the whole way, that was me. Sorry. LOL
Hey! Y'all wake up!
Yesterday, I passed a convoy (remember that song? Red Sovine, I think) of cherry picker trucks, presumably on their way to help with all the power outages.
Once again, it's snowing on the mountain with no sign of yesterday's thaw. Everthing's covered up & iced over again.
Looks like there's another doozy headed our way next week.
I don't know how this winter compares to others in our recent past, but this one seems a bit wicked. I'm sick sick sick of winter.
C. W. McCall - Convoy
Oh. I was so close. LOL
Red Sovine ... Teddy Bear?
If the temps dropped down to about -20 we could compare it to 1989. I think it has been that long since we have had much snowfall.
That convoy you saw was heading to some mall parking lot where they can drink coffee and stand around for hours on end drawing premium pay. AEP is run by former DOH officials. One guy works while the rest flag traffic when theres a crew of ten on the job.
LOL Possibly, but I don't envy not one of them.
Was 1989 when the power was out for days on end? I remember the whole family gathered around the big propane heater in the living room & the neighbors delivering pinto beans to the neighborhood that they'd cooked on their wood stove. Carper's Grocery was still open then & my cousin rode his ... probably 3-wheeler ... through the woods to get there to get us all some milk & bread.
By the time Spring came that year, our white living room was an ugly shade of smoke. LOL

Here is a site you all can read about the eight little snot lickers born yesterday. Mother has 6 more for a total of 14 now. Still living with her parents and the ages of the other 6 kids are 7,6,5,3,and twins at 2 years old.
What the H*ll was she on fertility drugs for?? More welfare check? Talk about "what were you thinking".
sorry Ms Rose
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090130/ap_on_re_us/octuplets
HOW BAD DOES IT HAVE TO GET BEFORE THEY SEND THE KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL EARLY?
Evidently, about as bad as it is now - schools are dismissing an hour early.
See how easy?
Hmm. I sure don't mind talking to myself, but y'all can join in any time!
Fourteen kids; 8 babies at one time. All sorts of controversary surrounding that one.
Have you heard about this kid who's on a quest to have 50 jobs in 50 weeks & won't give up until he's worked in every state in the US? Daniel Seddiqui. Who says there aren't jobs to be had?! Of course, he hasn't been to WV yet ...
I saw last night that the storm coming in on Monday isn't near as bad as they originally thought... we'll get slammed with this one!!!
How do you manage to get fertility treatments when you have 6 kids already? Not only that how do get treatments when you have a set of 2 year old twins, I mean really OBVIOUSLY she was able to get pregnant about 3 years ago..... HELLO??? I guess if you have enough money you can do/get what you want.
The State probably paid for it all.
yeah!!!!!!!!!!! but what kind of nut wants them 8 at a time. My wife had one and that was too many.
got a, apparently harrasing ph. call from a business phone, my ph. ID said that was the no., returned the call. owner of the business , more or less said he wasn't responsible for who called from his phone. gave me to understand if he wanted me he'd let me know. don't reckon i'll answer anymore phone calls from his ph. don't bother calling BRUCE.
Reminds me of his uncle Syl. and the story of the 40 and eight chickens. Spencer police said they would never have suspected them but one of the chickens got loose and run a red light. One tends to forget how onery their ancestors might have been.
Have y'all heard about the transit officer who shot & killed a man in California? Court documents say that he "may have meant to reach for his taser instead of his weapon."
Uh ... if you don't know the difference between your taser & your gun, you probably shouldnt' be trusted with either.
where's your teaser located. don't know whether I have one or not.
Just feel around until you find something you think you could knock somebody out with. You might want to get somebody else to help you feel around in those places you can't reach by yourself.
Only thing I got could knock someone out would be the smell. you know what a feller smells like who's been using a ice cream bucket six weeks. went down to the welfare the other day. they say peehew. I says thats where it comes from. they says there's the door. ony kiddin'. dey's nice people not like that there business man whose uncle swipes chickens. but what did he need with 48. hads them 48 chickens in an old 36 Dodge two seater.
continued; there them fellers wuz in that ol' Dodge in Spencer. well by this time was morn, after a nights work swipijn' chickens, they wuz hungry so's they taken the eggs them there 48 hens had laid and gone into a restaurant and wanted breakfast. tol' the boss they had their own eggs, now Uncle Syl had assumed charge of the operation by this time.
so Uncle Syl said "iff'n anyone sez anything, we'll tell them I bought those chickens" so they gave the boss man a doz. eggs to fix them some vittles. having finished eating, they decided to leave, they approached their ol' Dodge,BUT AS SOON AS ONE LAID A HAND ON IT, cops from all directions sprang into action, from behind bushes, other cars, where-ever. DROP them eggs and put your hands up. and so off to jail they went.
Sounds like you were there too.
well I was earlier but being an innocent young feller and it was raining and the car leaked I went home early.
They say things don't get stretched out when its through C-section. Since she had them all by invitro and only used a sperm donor guess she still has what it takes. Her tubes are blocked but guess she got around that also. Saw where her mother said when she got home from the hospital she was on her own with the 8 new ones and the other 6.
Some people should spend money for a brain transplant instead of bringing more welfare bums into the world. Just imagine the SSI check she can get with 14.
Rose, you're funny as heck some sometimes. We both had a good laugh.
It's a family trait. LOL
I'm so ashamed at the moment ... obviously, I've gone wrong somewhere as a mother. We're watching the SuperBowl halftime show. My kid comes in & says, "Hey, who'sat singin'?" I say, "Jew gotta be kiddin' me, kid! That's THE BOSS!" He says, "Never heard of 'im. Who's he the boss of?"
AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!! LOL
Good morning, all you rays of sunshine!
Hope y'all all got out & enjoyed that 60 degree day yesterday - looks like some of our border counties are already under yet another winter storm watch (warning?) through Wednesday.
Reckon ol' Stew (isn't that the groundhog's name?) will see his shadow today?
Oh. Almost forgot ... how 'bout that SuperBowl?!
Hope y'all have enjoyed your vacation from my meandering thoughts. Have discovered someone entered my home in my absence and purloined 2 or 3 table spoons of instant coffee from an unopened jar, in my absence. Mysteries now who who who would do a thing like that. Then Iget a mysterious call from a local business mans phone, who then says he's not responsible for calls from his phone. I think another good ol' boy has been accidentally flushed from hiding. i have contributed many a dollar towards BC present afflunence by purchasing illegal beverages from his pappy. Betcha he's angry because i'm upsetting the GOAT clans master plan for the county and therefore creating problems for them. Hi Ho and off to battle we go. gitttteeee up Silver.
Ever heard of Alzheimer's?
If you remember where can I get some shine?
I'm kinda out of touch with the younger generation but Idon't know of any being made at present last I knew of was in Jackson co. and that has been some yrs. ago. it was hauled in here to the clubs by the pickup load. far as I know DC never handled shine, only tax paid stuff. try the dog catcher he might know.
I know where there's some moonshine. But if I tell you, somebody might have to kill me. >;]
Just step out on the porch tonight.
you gotta be careful Rose. little black santa might be out there in the bushes watching for his little tater bug.
LOL I ain't scared o' no little black santa in the bushes. But he better identify himself - we've got a lot of pellet & airsoft guns around here. The might just be "BBs" but those suckers hurt! LOL
Good grief. The news guy just said it's snowing outside. I like to get up & pretend it's June before reality hits me. At least before I've had sufficient coffee to really start my day.
Anyone have anything on the person that was found over on Shelton drive?
School is letting out at 1:00 today Feb 3, 2009
Sun is shining and the sky is blue.
RED ALERT! Clay BOE been kidnapped replaced with aliens! Send the kids home BEFORE bad weather hits? has to be aliens. Maybe moms took over the office.
This mom didn't send her kids this morning. Because the BOE never uses good sense with weather conditions. (And knowing that it was supposed to get nasty and our road was completley covered.)
What about our Somber Super who apologized for "dropping the ball" and could assure us that it would never happen again????? I think maybe his memory needs refreshed as to the promises he made!
I do however have to brag on Mr. Brown. Friday I went to get my kids before the weather got really bad and as I got there Mr. Brown had talked to the BOE to get them to shut it down. But the powers that be wouldn't hear of it. Made them stay until 1 p.m. Kudos to Mr. Brown for making his opinion known and a huge thumbs down for the "powers that be" who have no sense of danger for our children.
Ah, Mr. Brown. I sincerely hope that when he gives up his present post, somebody has the good sense to create a job that allows him to teach other principals how to ... principal. Better yet, I think he should be our new super. That's Super, not Stupor.
Personally, I think today's call shows lessons learned. Our road was covered this morning, but nowhere near as bad as they've been in the past (those calls? Not so good). Nothing beats the call made several years ago that sent kids home smack dab in the worst of the worst weather we'd seen in a long time.
My kids are home safe & the sun's still shining. Beats the heck out of sitting by the scanner, watching it blizzard outside, waiting to hear there's a bus over the hill or in the ditch.
I'd say now would be a good time to get SARA on the phone for tomorrow, though. Looks like it might be a doozy coming our way!
What happened on Shelton Drive? I've heard that come over the scanner before, but I missed whatever happened yesterday.
We're not nosy - we just like to sound like we know what we're talking about when it comes up in conversation.
I hope this is another Rockefeller Blizzard myself. Remember when he ordered everyone home and off the roads and not a flake fell around here. Yes I remember a few years back when they sent them home once and the snow was falling so fast you couldn't see and as soon as the buses ran it stopped snowing and the roads cleared off. Tomorrow is just another day until it gets here then its today.
Shelton Rd. Some fella took the easy way out.
Anytime anyone takes their own life, I don't consider it the easy way out.
There HAS to be underlying issues. Illness, depression or something. And I'm sure it's not an easy choice if it is then I don't believe the person would be in the right frame of mind.
Either way this person has a family just like you and I. They still love him and I'm sure they are horrified by the circumstances. Have some compassion for his family & loved ones.
Good advice in many situations.
Looks like yesterday's display of caution - the decision to send kids home under blue skies - doesn't extend to today. Just because we didn't get pounded, doesn't mean it's not a possibility. Roads are covered, 1-3" additional inches of snow predicted for us today. Yet school is open & on time.
I guess for every good decision, there must be an equally bad one to balance it out.
Our road is HORRIBLE. My kids will NOT be going to school today and i bet a lot of others won't either. The decision to not delay is STUPID. STUPID SOMBER.
Kan. Co is closed today. ITs been snowing here all morning. Guess what Somber Stupid? YOU DROPPED THE D*MN BALL. AGAIN.
please call the Board of Education with your complaints I bet if enough of us voice our complaints he would be more likely to do something.
Or we could just blog about it and still have our children endangered!!
587-4266 or 587-4126
Apparently a lot of folks are calling the BOE. It took about 5-6 calls before I got thru to anyone. And when I did, I was told that no decision had been made and that the bus drivers WERE NOT on standby!!! How dumb can you get?? It's pouring the snow down and they don't even bother to put them on standby??
How ignorant! Dropping the ball is the gonna be the least of his concerns if one of those buses wreck on these nasty roads!!!!!
Clay County seems to make the headlines for the some ignorant things. Lets just hope that one of those things isn't a tragic bus accident!
Better Safe Than Somber
Safe would mean my children were home.
Somber means STUPID!
I was all for keeping my kids at home today. However, I've managed to raise extremely ethical children who concern themselves with their attendance records & keeping up with their schoolwork. No amount of "Nobody else is going to be there" on my part would change their minds.
So ... does my failure as a parent lie in raising ethical children or sacrificing their safety & letting them get on a bus that had no business being on the highway?
lgillesp@access.k12.wv.us
Bombard him with emails too if you want.
I'm sure he's in front of a computer somewhere, I'm positive that he IS NOT out checking the roads.
He doesn't listen to his own principals why would he care what parents have to say.
You're probably right about that.
But wouldn't it get annoying to keep hearing, "another parent called wanting to know about school closing".
It isn't just the students being placed in harm's way. Teachers, cooks, custodians, secretaries, volunteers, etc. are also at school. That's a lot of lives to place at risk just to save face.
Braxton county is closing and gilmer county.. but does our somber super have that kind of sense? Apparently NOT!
Hey there is less then an inch of snow in Clay why are you all griping about school being in session? Inside the classroom is the best place for them to be. Roads are bad south of Hartland Bridge towards the Nicholas county line but theres not many important people down that way. Other then spotty snow the rest of the county looks fine.
Somber Super
There was a time when if the snow got really, really deep....
a decision would be made whether or not...
the bus drivers would put on chains before they made their runs.
i remember when that decision was left to the drivers. if they got there school was open. never heard of closing then. very few accidents. must have had better quality drivers. found the other day a certificate of attendance for the 6th grade for myself. dated 1941. no bus involved . walked a mile and a half, didn't get paid either. one pair shoes to do the school term by spring my toes were hanging out. oh my, these poor poor kids.
I think LS has nailed it all - it's all about the quality of the drivers. "Way Back When," was long before the days of everybody looking for a lawsuit. The day a bus driver took my mirror off was warm, dry & sunny. He's still behind the wheel of a bus.
I'm sure Clay County has fantastic legal counsel, but ya know who'd have to pay those legal fees if a bus wrecked & the BOE got sued? How about the medical bills for all that whiplash or worse? How many kids are on any given bus? Every single parent of every single kid would sue, just because they could.
Yesterday, I was quite encouraged by the proactive caution. Showed some sound common sense. Today ... all's well that ends well, but it was a little irresponsible.
I rode Earl King's contract bus (aka a pickup truck with a topper on it) to meet another bus that took me to meet yet another bus. My mom never thought twice about it.
She also didn't think twice about it when I pulled another girl's hair in 3rd grade, she pushed me down the hill, I punched her in the face. We had to walk laps around the baseball field - holding hands, no less - until we were friends again. No parents got involved, no detention got served, nobody had to go into intensive therapy, nobody was scarred for life.
The times have changed. Chains aren't good enough anymore.
As we hack, so shall we give kudos where they're due ...
The lovely SARA just called @ 9:37 with the notification that Clay County schools are on a 2 hour delay tomorrow.
Is anyone else thinking BOING! (let's be cautious!) BOING! (let's throw caution to the wind!) BOING! (let's be proactive!) BOING! (let's dodge calls from parents all day!) BOING! BOING! BOING!
Oh ... sorry. 'scuse my bad manners. I was giving kudos & lost my focus.
Good call (anybody keeping score?).
Good morning, all you rays of sunshine!
It's a good thing I knew about the 2-hour delay before I went to bed last night - I slept in a whole 10 minutes! Don'cha hate that, when you know you can sleep in but it just doesn't happen?
Everybody ready for the digital conversion? It's been delayed 4 months. I guess my dreams of going back to just 3 channels is now dead for all time.
Temperatures are in the negative numbers this morning. Bundle up!
There's something wrong with this picture. I have on jeans, understhirt and sweatshirt. Socks with shoes. This ain't right! Boo turned the heater on in his truck this morning. Somebody convert 21 degrees celsius for me. Whatever it is, its cold. I coulda stayed at home for this.
It was 5 on our porch this morning. Next time you're on my porch, I'm going to dump ice down your pants, down your shirt & over your head so you can appreciate just how cold 21 degrees celsius is NOT. LOL (Boo said he'd pay me for the ice down the shirt - you know how he loves a wet t-shirt ...)
I hear frozen iquana is pretty good with margaritas ... BAHAHAHAHA LOL
21 anything would have felt good to me this morning. Froze my whiskers into ice balls after being out an hour in that mess. Next week we can have a heat wave going on they say. Near 60 all week and that should feel like summer compared to the last two weeks with temps in single digits above and below zero.
It's winter in WV
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love WV
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave WV
I'm frozen to the ground!
My Good Buddy
can anyone tell me about the cell phone tower in clay?? I know att picks up off of it, but someone else does too, I just cant remember who. thanks.
I love the poem!!
I think it's US Cellular and Cellular One
UNUSUAL NIGHT. 1:30 got up. 3AM boom boom bang thud at my door. checked, large rock along side pavement in front of my door. maybe 2/3 hundred lbs. called Dept of highways. no answer, no recording. 3AM, called state police. got direct answer, clay office. reported rock. SP said would handle, would call back. never did. 7:15AM called dept of hwys, no answer. no action, rock still there.
how rock get there?
i think i mus have done something wrong and the GOOD LORD threw a rock at me or an oversize sasquatch done it. sounded like it thundered a time or two bout that time. maybe it's an improved hell stone.
about that same time I heard someone getting healthnetted out from lizemore way.
maybe it was a warning from God.
That is kinda freaky, cause i dreamnt of someone or something booming and banging on my front door last night to the point i had to get up and watch tv to get rid of that creepy feeling....
Who you be and why is your rock in my dream! lol
LOL Full moon??
Do you think dreams mean anything? What if you dream about somebody you haven't even seen for ... a while. Who really doesn't play a role in your general, day to day life?
If you are waiting on this sorry slow road crew from Clayberry to do anything you may be still waiting when lleH freezes over. I have never in my lifetime seen anything as worthless as the DOH in this county. Maybe smokin Joe has the right idea in getting rid of the DOH completely and bidding out the work needing done to the roads here.
I noticed last year that almost every road in the county had been sprayed or the weeds being cut along the roads but not so with Sycamore Ck Rds. although once you crossed over into Porters Creek and Bomont area it was all clean or sprayed. All of 16 out towards Nebo area to Calhoun line newly paved, sprayed and brush cut back. Dundon to Dille roads clean. Patched or paved. Rt 16 Hartland to Nicholas county line, Holy Highway should be the name as it is full of holes, trees hanging into the roadway or down on phonelines. No guardrails from top of Independence Mountain to county line. Dangerous as a loaded gun down that hill in winter or summer after a rain or snow. Water running in the road everywhere from full ditches. Even saw a grader with chains on sitting at Lizemore when going down that way last week and for what? Must be to make somebody think they are going to clean a ditch somewhere in that area. Lord knows with water running across 16 down that way it surely needs it.
No I wouldn't wait on the DOH if I were you.
well, checked with S. POL. again. he gave a no. to call. got someone by the name of Jerry who inquired what co. i was in. told him and my problem and where i am. he says alright we'll get it but didn't say when.
Can you imagine working at the following Company? It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:
29 have been accused of spouse abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
3 have been arrested for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shop-lifting
21 are current defendants in lawsuits In 1998 alone
84 were stopped for drunk driving
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that perpetually cranks out hundreds upon hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.
folks i'm a little confused this morn. started to make a telly call. decided to check my ph. to see if it worked. dialed my own number. telephone worked. i noticed my caler ID was blinking. checked to see who had just called me. didn't recognize the no. so spent the next half hour trying to find who had just called. finally realized it was my own no. spent a half hour trying to call myself. forgot why i was on the telephone to begin with. can anyone suggest why i'd be trying to call them. maybe i can figure out what i'm missing and who i'm supposed to call.
It's an alien rock. Be careful.
guess i'll hafta rock around the clock since the Dept. of hwys hasn't moved it yet.
Wait ... is the Caller ID blinking in the same home that has the Sasquatch rock? Forget the phone, forget the rock - it's time to move!
Call TAPS. Or is it ... what's the other ghost-hunter crew called??
I saw yr rock.
Its not that big.
Get a crowbar and roll it over the hill instead of waiting for the state to fix your problems.
If you had been worth a good GOD d**n you would have moved it for an old man. shows what kind of person you are. must be a goat lover.
Just leave the rock there and hope whoever hits it sues the DOH and includes Clark Samples and the Wv State Police. You can inform them of that when they hit it. It should have been moved yesterday or whenever it fell. Just another example of worthless DOH employees being led by an even more worthless supervisor. File a complaint with the DOH in Charleston as the commissioners have all their email addresses there and email every last one of them. Its time they got with the program and started earning their paychecks. Here is the address for the DOH in Charleston

Maybe Sheriff Holcomb has a key to DOT & can get the keys to a truck to move that thang for you.
A goat could of shoved it out of the way
