Give These People Some R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!

We have seen a good amounts of rain through out today and believe it or not we still have a little more on the way to start the weekend! Yes, Saturday we are talking about this low pressure system that has stuck with us for a while still hanging around. It's not looking like a wash out but still another wet day! Rainfall right now looking between a Tenth and maybe a quarter inch in areas. Sunday will also be a slight chance for a few hit and miss scattered showers before we really start to dry out to start the work week. Take a look at this nasty little low pressure system below.
Now, I got an e-mail this evening from my Dad that I knew I had to post! I want you all o read this and then at the end I hope you'll be happy with the weather we have here in Indiana. And also I hope you'll have a high amount of Respect for these people of North Dakota.

Take a look.....

Minot Daily News WEATHER BULLETIN
Up here in the Northern part of North Dakota we just recovered from a Historic event --- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 25" inches of snow and winds to 50 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands. FYI: Obama did not come. FEMA did nothing. No one howled for the government. No one blamed the government. No one even uttered an expletive on TV. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit. Our Mayor's did not blame Obama or anyone else. Our Governor did not blame Obama or anyone else either. CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC did not visit - or even report on this category 5 snow storm.Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards. No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House. No one looted. Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something. Nobody expected the government to do anything either. No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera. No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Brad Pitts, No Hollywood types to be found.Nope, we just melted the snow for water. Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars. The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny. Local restaurants made food, and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snow bound families.. Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns. We put on an extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die". We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks . Even though a Category 5 blizzard of this scale is not usual, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.The world does Not owe you a living!

This is just some of the things that goes on that we never hear about! Maybe people will think twice before commenting about how bad Indiana weather is! ;) These people went out in over 25" Inches of snow by themselves and got the job done! Most people in Indiana complain about scooping 2" to 4" inches. Remember if you want something done, The only way to get it done is to do it! Talking about doesn't make it happen!

So count your blessings!
