Ha !
 
I couldn't remember exactly how far north and east Missouri was, so I looked 
at a map.  Smack east of Kansas/ west of Illinois.  I spent a lot of my youth 
in the Chicago 'burbs.... that is really cold there.  Amazing that your snow 
doesn't last long, as I remember the snow from my youth in Chicago and N. 
Wisconsin.  Does the ground freeze there, or are you below that freeze line.
 
I also realize I did in fact drive through Missouri (from S. Illinois to 
Kansas City).... and had no recollection of driving through it.    Is it low 
rolling hills and lots of farmland?  For the life of me I can't recall 
anything between S. Illinois and Kansas City (which means I was likely not 
driving, and probably sound asleep.....)  Last I recall was fueling in S. IL, 
and then driving thru Kansas City (horrible road conditions, major repairs 
needed, that I remember ! )
 
My daughter was 16 that year, and she got to drive most of a 6,000 mile 
trip... as part of her learn-how-to-drive experience.  Big mistake,,,, she 
loves cars,,, and loves to go fast......

We are a little bit east of the "tornado belt".  I've only found reference to 
4 tornadoes ever touching down in this county.  The last 2 in 95 & 06, don't 
know if that is a trend.

> And how cold in the winter? 

Weather is variable.  It may get to zero a couple of times a year but can go 
back up to fifty's in  less than a week.  More normal is below freezing at 
night but back up to maybe 40 during the day.  because of fluctuating temps 
snow doesn't stay on ground for very long.

I saw the latest Power Ball numbers in the local paper so I guess that means 
it is available here.

I know we are in very different climates.... so this isn't a fair question.
 
 
But....... just how long (months) do squash plants (summer or winter) keep 
producing flowers and fruiting?
 
My summer squash --- I've been harvesting for a month, and they are still 
flowering every day.  Is this going to continue for months?  I'd actually 
like to take a week off at some point....
 
The winter squash (blue hubbard, acorn, pumpkin, spaghetti) are all just 
starting to setfruit.  They've been flowering for about 1 month.  All have 
something growing on them.  
 
(How big in diameter does a blue hubbard get?  I've never heard of this 
squash before, and somehow received the seed free with one of my orders.  I 
haven't found this on the internet.)  
 
The spaghetti squash plant actually came from some seed I planted from one I 
had bought in the grocery store, and is an experiment.  The first female 
flowers came out a few days ago.
 
I was thinking along the lines of picking some winter squash to eat when they 
look like they are ready, and then leave the rest on the vine until late fall 
for over-winter storage.
 
I can't believe how fast pumpkins spread out, and how fast the little babies 
turn into monster pumpkins.

I have here on the table two large Lakota squash from LAST year.  They are 
still good enough to eat.   I am going to plant seeds from those squash next 
week, and then more acorn, butternut, and sugar pumpkins in the couple of 
weeks after that.

Feinstein?  Isn't that the idiot form CA who got into it with Greenspan about 
5-6 years ago, and Greenspan told her first in "greenspeak" that CA needs to 
cut it's hand-outs and cut their budget or face bankruptcy.... and she 
couldn't understand what he was saying and then asked if he meant that 
Greenspan wanted her to cut benefits and lower government services.... He 
replied in plain english with a simple "Yes."  I laughed my ass off watching 
her get all flustered stating that CA could not possibly cut benefits and 
close down government jobs, and asked wasn't there some other way they could 
avoid bankruptcy... and he said no....   You should have seen the look on her 
face......  
 
Of course, CA didn't follow Greenspans advice, and look where they are.... 
bankrupt.

Austrian theory variety, IMO.  Citizens get what they ask for when they elect 
people who can't balance a checkbook.......

It would be real easy to fix CA.  1) Close the border!  2) Cut CalTrans.  3)
Cut committees, associations, commissions, etc. that are arse-sitting
do-nothing jobs where they get paid over $100,000/yr to attend 4 meetings a
year.  4)  Cut the car allowance and gas allowances to legislators.  And my
list is long but not enough room here.  I would have no problem whatsoever
putting CA's budget back in the black!

HOWEVER, you don't tell a U.S. senator how to run a state.  They have no
input, so that makes Greenspan as dumb as Feinstein!  And, did he really
think a Democratic senator would have much input to a Republican governor
whose puppet master was that moron Pete Wilson who started all the problems
and put NINETY of those commissions in place (with a minimum of 10
arse-sitters per commission).  Pete Wilson, the moron, who orchestrated the
whole electric debacle??!!

to balance a budget!
