It's not all that bad here. I'm on base, inside walls with guard towers all around. I'm in more danger of dying from boredom. :p
As for the TP question, it depends on what you eat. Lots of cheese, the 10 sheets should get you a good ways.Do you use the ol' secret "one square center hole tear" method?

When is cafe naked day?
What's the punishment for mooning the other threads?
Everyday is cafe naked day.
banning for mooning.
With the wise guidance of many, I believe I can stay clear of censure. I just wish my posts were offensive. God knows I have been a bit too quick with my replies at times. I was trying to be a friend to a person who was being a bit offensive with the way he was saying things. As a person who does not always say things perfectly, I felt he needed that friend.
Bottom line: Stay on topic. I was not on topic. That is the beauty of the cafe. I am not sure anyone knows what we are talking about over here unless you have an advanced degree in cafe speak.
no point of staying on topic here. There is no such thing.

There are three airfields in the vicinity of Tikrit if you look around. Type in "COB Speicher." That'll bring it a little closer. The photo on GE is pretty old, so the building I'm in isn't even on there. The Speicher (or what used to be it) airfield is the one northwest of the city. My station is a bit northeast of the field.

Winter Storm ‘Nemo’: A Historical Perspective
Winter storm ‘Nemo’ (as The Weather Channel’ has designated it), winded up this Saturday night although sea-effect snow showers continue to brush Cape Cod and Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. The storm was certainly among the top five to affect Southern New England and Maine and for some localities, the worst winter storm on record (going back 300 years since European inhabitants began keeping track of such things).
http://icons.wxug.com/hurricane/chrisburt/nemosat.jpg
A satellite image of Nemo Saturday morning around 7 a.m. EST. The amazing structure of the storm resembles a hurricane with an eye structure. This feature was also seen with Sandy last October and the ‘Perfect Storm’ of October 28, 1991. However, in Nemo’s case this was a pure winter storm, not a hybrid tropical cum extra-tropical storm like Sandy and the 1991 event although there have been other winter storms in the past that also displayed a similar ‘eye’ structure. Photo from NASA.
Comparison to the Blizzard of March 11-14, 1888
There were many ways this storm was similar to the great Blizzard of March 1888. Both storms formed from similar synoptic situations; low pressure system/trough arriving from the west combined with low pressure center developing of the mid-Atlantic coast and then ‘bombing’ explosively south of Long Island and slowly tracking off to the northeast. The big difference between the blizzard of 1888 and Nemo was the location of where the ‘bombogenesis’ took place. In 1888 the storm center ‘bombed’ about 100 miles further to the southeast than where Nemo did such. Also, the 1888 storm actually made a small loop south of Long Island, unlike Nemo. This resulted in a mostly rain event for eastern Massachusetts (Boston just had 7” of slushy snow) and Maine in 1888 with the core of the heaviest snow falling from New York City north to Albany and east though western Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut. So, amazing as Nemo was for the residents of Connecticut, the Blizzard of 1888 was more severe in terms of snowfall accumulations and blizzard conditions. For a detailed analysis of the Blizzard of 1888 see my blog on the subject posted last year. (http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/comment.html?entrynum=65)
It seems the highest snowfall report in Connecticut from Nemo has been 40” at Hamden. In 1888 the peak total was 50” at Middleton. Hartford received 36” during the Blizzard of 1888 (although the ‘official’ total was much lower since the observation site at that time was on a hill and the snow was mostly blown clear from the location). New Haven picked up 44.7” in 1888 versus 34” from Nemo. An interesting aside, is the intensity of the snowfall rates reached during Nemo’s peak. A public report mentions an astonishing 12” of snow fell in one 90-minute period at Coventry, Connecticut Friday night.
http://icons.wxug.com/hurricane/chrisburt/milford2.jpg
This is what 38” of snow looks like as photographed on Saturday morning, February 9th in Milford, Connecticut. There is a car buried in that driveway! Milford was in the epicenter of Nemo’s heaviest snow accumulation. Photo courtesy of Tom Crispino.
Long Island, New York has reported a peak snow accumulation of 33.5” at Medford from Nemo versus 36” at Babylon during the 1888 blizzard.
Some snowfall statistics comparing the Blizzard of 1888 to Nemo on Long Island and Connecticut (this table represents sites that we have records for from both storms):
http://icons.wxug.com/hurricane/chrisburt/citycomp.jpg
It would therefore appear that the Blizzard of 1888 remains the worst blizzard in Connecticut and Long Island history with Nemo probably taking 2nd place.
Comparison to the great February Blizzard of 1978
Again the blizzard of February 7-8, 1978 followed a similar synoptic pattern as both the 1888 blizzard and the 2013 blizzard (a trough from west merging with a mid-Atlantic low and bombing out south of Long Island). However, in the 1978 case (and with Nemo) Massachusetts, Maine, and Rhode Island received much greater snowfall totals than occurred in the blizzard of 1888.
http://icons.wxug.com/hurricane/chrisburt/1978synoptic.jpg
Surface synoptic chart at the peak intensity of the Blizzard of 1978. Nemo deepened to 973 mb but did not have the intense high pressure (1048 mb) to its north and west like in 1978 (sorry, I can’t locate a similar synoptic map for Nemo), so the blizzard conditions (and wind speeds or cold) were not quite equal to the 1978 storm. Chart from Paul Kocin and Louis Uccellini’s groundbreaking book ‘Northeast Snowstorms’ published by the American Meteorological Society in 2004. You may be aware that Dr. Uccellini has just recently been appointed as the new director of the NWS (NOAA’s National Weather Service).
For the residents of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the Blizzard of February 1978 has been the benchmark winter storm of record. Although Boston has seen heavier snowfalls than what occurred in 1978 (the city’s all-time single deepest snow event remains the 27.5” that fell February 17-18, 2003) the winds and coastal flooding in 1978 were the worst Massachusetts have ever experienced from a blizzard in modern history. See Jeff Masters blog on the details of how the storm has affected the Boston area. (http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=2346)
http://icons.wxug.com/hurricane/chrisburt/boston10.jpg
Boston’s top 10 greatest single snowstorms since records for such have been kept beginning in 1872. It is curious that most of these storms have occurred in relatively recent years.
It seems that Boston Logan Airport (official weather site for the city) received a total of 24.9” from Nemo. The storm surge at Boston from Nemo was just shy of that in 1978 (4.21’ versus 4.34’). Peak wind gusts appear to be comparable to the 1978 event although there were problems with some of the ASOS anemometer readings at the peak of Nemo’s fury. In any case, so far it seems Boston’s peak wind gust was 76 mph during Nemo versus 79 mph in 1978. Chatham, Massachusetts (Cape Cod reported a 93 mph gust in 1978 whereas the peak Nemo gust on the Cape or Islands from Nemo seems to have been 83 mph near Cutyhunk. The maximum snow accumulation in Massachusetts seems to be 31” at Spencer.
Rhode Island has so far reported a peak snowfall total of 27.6” at West Glocester from Nemo versus an official maximum of 38.0” at Woonsocket during the 1978 storm (with unofficial totals as high as 55” in Lincoln in 1978 (where drifts 27’ deep were reported!). For an in depth analysis of the February 1978 see this report prepared by NOAA. (http://www.erh.noaa.gov/box/papers/Bliz78NWS.pdf)
So, in conclusion, I think it safe to say that the storm of February 7-8, 1978 remains the strongest blizzard on record for eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. However, Nemo would appear to be a close 2nd.

Was Nemo the worst blizzard on record for coastal Maine?
The airport near Portland, Maine has received an all-time record single-snowstorm record accumulation of 31.9”. This has swept aside the previous official record of 27.1” set on January 17-18, 1979. However, the NWS office in downtown Portland has reported a total of only 26.4”. The peak snow total for any Maine site appears to be 35.5” at Gorham.
The great ‘Down East’ blizzard of December 29-30, 1962 brought a maximum snowfall of 46” at Ripogenus Dam and 40” in Orono (located about 10 miles northeast of Bangor—where 16-20” has been reported from Nemo so far). The 1962 blizzard is considered the worst on record for the central and eastern coastal portions of Maine. Portland received much lesser amounts but the storm was noted for the bitter cold and high winds that accompanied it. The temperature ranged between 0°F and -15°F during the storm with sustained winds of 20-40 mph.
So, it would appear that Nemo is the greatest snowstorm to affect the Portland area and southeastern portions of Maine but not record-setting in other portions of the state.
Honorable Mentions
FEBRUARY 24-28, 1969
There are two other snow events of as great historical significance as Nemo so far as southern New England is concerned. These would be the 100-hour snow’ of February 24-28, 1969 and the ‘Great Snow of 1717’. In February 1969 a low pressure system stalled off the coast of Massachusetts and pounded the region with an almost continuous 100 hours of snowfall. Boston picked up 26.3” during the storm, Portland, Maine 26.9”, and Concord, New Hampshire 28.0”. Rockport, Massachusetts (on Cape Ann) received 39”. Inland, an astonishing 77” of snow accumulated at Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire between February 25-28 and Mt. Washington caught a 97.8” total from February 24-28, its greatest snowstorm on record. The storm, however, was not a true blizzard and was only noteworthy for its longevity and hence deep snow accumulations.
FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 7, 1717
As weather historian David M. Ludlum wrote in his book ‘New England Weather Book’:
”No natural event in colonial New England has achieved such reverential status as the Great Snow of 1717. Accounts appear in many local and regional histories and hardly a diarist fails to mention it.”
This storm, or rather series of 4 storms (two major and two minor), pounded southern New England over a 10-day period February 27-March 7 and deposited a level four feet of accumulation in Boston and environs. The Rev. Cotton Mather wrote, “As mighty a snow, as perhaps known in the memory of man, is at this time lying on the ground”. Specific details are lacking but this event remained the benchmark for the following 160 years (until the Blizzard of 1888) so far as contemporary snowfall events.
Conclusion
It can probably be said that winter storm Nemo was the 2nd most intense winter storm event for Long Island, Connecticut, eastern Massachusetts, and perhaps Rhode Island. For Long Island, and Connecticut the Blizzard of 1888 remains unparalleled whereas for Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts the Blizzard of 1978 remains the top event. For southeastern Maine it would appear that Nemo has been the most extreme snowstorm on record. Of course, this is a broad statement and for some localities in Connecticut and Massachusetts Nemo may have been even worse than the storms of 1888 and 1978 and for other localities in the region other major snowstorms may have been worse than any one of the three.
I might add that is a bit unsettling that two of the most significant storms in the past 300 years to strike the northeastern quadrant of the U.S. have occurred within just four months from one another.

True story about the 1st time I took my wife ice fishing: (we were just dating at the time).
I picked a good bass lake so we would catch plenty of fish. We had several on the ice (I used to keep some back then, I keep none now) when she asked what the difference between the 2 species were. I replied that they were not 2 species and that the largemouths were the females.
Happily married (going on 27 years) to the only woman on the planet that could put up with me.

My first 45 wuz prolly Green Tambourine/Lemon Pipers. Heavy Stuff!
Or was it Vanilla Fudge? That was the 60's. How am I suppose to remember?
I remember buying Grand Funk Railroad's We're an American Band. The reason I remember it so well is because it actually gold colored vinyl (instead of black). Probably bought some other 45s before that, but specifically remember that one.

I have a new story that Astro might like. By the time he catches up on the cafe it should be ready.
I have the best mother-in-law on the planet. She told me when I married her daughter that if the marriage ever went south that she was keeping me. We both know she loves her daughter more, but that is who she is. She is a kid in a body that is failing her. We tease each other without mercy.
One day, a few years back, I took her ice fishing with the family. I drove my 1988 Ford Festiva on the ice so she could watch the action in a warm spot. Just before I went to set up the traps I asked her why I was doing this for her. She answered, "because you love me". I said that I loved her, but that was not why I did it. I asked her to look at the car she was in. It was totaled before I bought it. It had nothing but junkyard parts in it and I had driven it for 100,000 miles. I said there was little left to it. Then I said, "look at yourself. I figure if the car goes through the ice with you in it, there will be no great loss". She was laughing so hard she was crying as I finally left to set up the traps.
I told my wife the story later in front of her mother. My wife was shocked, but my mother-in-law was busting a gut again.

If you assume the circles are lights instead of tires, it is coming straight at you.
Another perspective is that it drawn on a piece of paper, so it isn't going anywhere.

I paid her way to go to Disney World with us for our 20th wedding anniversary. I got great mileage out of that one. I told everyone I worked with that I was doing this. The best fun in life is being able to laugh with others as they laugh at you. It is like being a toll booth worker and asking customers if they want toll house cookies. It just keeps giving.

Yes, but I still believe it had more to do with the taste (milk chocolate and sugar).

Over here west of Albany NY, we dodged the bullet with the supersnow, got less than a foot where I live. Once I shoveled the driveway, I went out to play. The local nature preserve looked like this. It seems to have a cold microclimate. When I took the basket off one of my poles and plunged it into the snow, it went down maybe 14 inches.

Extra Poho points if you video that and post here... I am tired of watching Sargent's shooting watermelon.
poho
Derives from the English roots of the words "poser (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=poser)" and "ho (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ho)".
Noun/Adjective-
1. A cliche, wondrous, creature that tries very hard to be unique and badass but ends up looking like a wee lass playing dress up. Awwww! It thinks it's the bomb.com, but sadly, it's comparable to a wounded ferret. Tries so hard to get attention by looking/acting ****ty, since there's nothing it can do really because it has a IQ of about...err...generally 6. It usually only has one facial expression that looks like a baby watching bubbles float into a summer sky. It's cocky, rude, and spoiled, but you tend to feel sorry for the poor creature.

All kidding aside: As I mature (and I am not done yet) I try to be more in touch with how my actions and words effect others. For some, this comes natural. Some do not have a mean bone in their body. For others (like me) we carry frustrations. It is not that we are bad, we just don't say things perfectly. I really try to not offend anyone. At the same time, I understand some of the people that are offensive. They need to work on it. I have some work left too.
As an example: When we hear a news story of something bad happening because of a drunk driver there are normally 2 reactions. One is to condemn. I have the other reaction. I sink down in my seat and whisper, "Thank you Lord for protecting me and others while I was being as stupid.". Those that never were so stupid can't relate. I can.
I put some on the ignore list at 1st. I took them off. I know they would not like me saying it, but I can relate to them. To be blunt, they are immature still. They don't think so. They think they are all that and a bag of chips. But, I have hopes they will mature, just like Rifle matured a bit.
