I might walk down to the local pub tonight for more wings - Wednesday

light snow showers here, not a pounding

how does the stuff on the ground pound you?  Slip & fall?

It's actually kind of cool to have a job that you don't care about losing, because you get to try things that you normally wouldn't. 
It is nice. I can retire anytime, except my wife isn't ready to give up her job yet.  So when my company told me I would need to come into the office once or twice a week, instead of the once a month I had been doing, I just turned in my resignation.  Called the next day from my boss's boss and ask what they needed to do. I said keep me remote and I'm not going anywhere. 

It really is nice when the company has no power. Even with that I work more hours than I probably should (at least the wife complains when I have put in a 10 hour day).

everybody is replaceable

I give a lot of credit to your company for being not stupid

The Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns game could be canceled? Everyone in Western New York knows that we are about to get hit with a really big first snowstorm that will begin on Thursday and end sometime on Sunday. What does that mean for the Buffalo Bills game? It has been done before.

Meteorologist Kevin O'Neil pointed out that there is enough lake effect snow coming that the National Football League WOULD consider moving the football game. O'Neil suggests moving the game to Monday could be a possibility, but also points out that the Bills are playing on Thursday. Here is what one person suggested on Twitter:

Would make the most sense to move to Detroit...they are on the road and the Bills play there on Thanksgiving which means they could just stay there and practice ahead of the game next Thursday.

The last time that the National Football League moved a Buffalo game to Detroit was when the New York Jets were coming to visit Highmark Stadium in 2014. The weather was too much of a factor so, the game was moved to Ford Field.

Maybe the NFL doesn't move the game. After all, Buffalonians are always there with a shovel and I am sure would be more than willing to shovel out Highmark Stadium in order to get fans inside, at the very least. Especially...for our Buffalo Bills.

If the game were to happen in Orchard Park on Sunday, it would be the first game that the weather would be a major factor. Nothing Western New Yorkers are not used to, though. Here are some other suggestions that others had on social media last night:

What's a practice job?
Like a practice girl. You're not that into her, but you date her anyway just because she's there, and she gives you a chance to work on your dating skills in a situation where you aren't going to be all that sad if you botch the whole deal.

This makes me sad because I just now realized in my younger days I'm pretty sure I was a practice guy.

one factor is barge traffic on the mississippi and missouri rivers, probably more

when barges can't run, more rail freight
