No not many Hawaiians in ole Miss, for sure! I am actually a fairly recent transplant, been here only seven months, from Colorado, got tired of shovelling snow! I've spent some time in your neck of the woods too, down around Corinth, Vicksburg and Iuka. Never got to Jackson though.

Hi Rik,
We had ice & snow today so between the PD & Fire we had a busy day.
When you see the big guy my favorite color is green and my favorite size is anything that fits in my wallet.
Have fun at the Christmas Parade. The town our station #1 is in had to cancel theirs tonight because of the ice.
Take Care Rik!

Hi Rik,

Hi Rik,
Yeah, we got more snow, more injuries from falls on the ice & snow kind of calls. Ran a medical call this morning on the rescue. I'm on eleven days off from the P.D.. So, I'll be able to respond to fire & rescue calls for Kelley.
Stay Safe Rik!

I wondered what happened to you?
Today it's sunny & cold, no more snow or ice for another day or so. Had to push one of my cars out of a snowbank yesterday with the Jeep. I live on the edge of town. Nothing but open fields, so we can get big drifts, sometimes.
Glad to have you back on the www !
Take Care Rik.....

Joel Swanson

Why do you think I own a Jeep? I take the back roads to work when it snows instead of the highway ;-)
Sometime you'll have to travel from the south and spend sometime in our winter wonderland.
Stay Young Rik!!!!

Hey Rik, I wish I could go to Daytona. Some warm weather would be great about now. It was negative 10 yesterday am. Talked to a friend in alaska last night. It was in the thirties, that's just not fair. Our yearly vacation is sturgis. We go with a few others on the dept who have bikes. get rained on a lot, but still have fun. Tell your LDO I am jealous. Take care and be safe

I havent been on here Rik much been making ever attemppt to become a microsoft tech and figure out an issue I've been having...which only affects One thing.. anyway , Yeeah we got some "crap" yesterday though it was as much freezing sleet for the first few hours , the upper partof the state got around 6 - 8 average I guess we got 5-6... lets see what happens this weekend sposed to get a Noreaster, though I've heard they are downplaying how bad its supposed to get.. They are saying the Low pressure system will cause the snow event to be north and west of us and rain and freezing rain for us..if it tracks 5 feet to the right we are screwed....lol For the 1st storm of the seasonthet said the state police responded to over 250 incidents in the 14 hours the interstates were hell....lol I heard the worst incident was a car getting off the Highway couldnt stop, ran into the barrrier at the pumps at a gas station, glanced offand into the station and caught fire, NO one hurt, But the FM's office has decided until they erect a full guard rail the dont Get a COO..lol this station is at the foot of a short off ramp in a fairly urban neighborhood mind you... and this was the 2nd timethis happened without Major issues, guess they figure 3 strikes won't be good....lol ... temps in the upper 20's and teens inland tonight today was in the 40's ,yesterday it was 28-36 ... we might notget the snow like up in Buffalo or Alaska lol But its always interesting...lol
