Rod Serling. I read his biography on the Twilight Zone DVD set I have. He had a wild ride. I'd love to hear him comment on other Sci Fi authors and current events. 2. Morgan Freeman. From what I know of him, we are the same personality type. It would be fun listening to him and Rod Serling chatting it up. 3. King Solomon. Famous for his wisdom, I'm sure he'd be interesting. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine would be: Gary Gygax, I mean come on. Nolan Ryan, my favorite all time baseball player (might even be in running as favorite athlete) Sam Elliott, just hear that voice in person. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted February 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2022 42 minutes ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? Yes, sort of. We've had a couple of 'snow days' here. It would be more appropriate to call them ice days. The first was a few weeks ago, the other was yesterday. It really wasn't too bad yesterday, and I felt safe enough driving myself around. Sadly, there were probably 10,000+ other people driving around whose winter driving skills are questionable, so I used a personal day and just stayed home. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally spaced off this morning. Nah, normal winter here. Mostly dry with some snow, some weeks very cold, some weeks mild. Currently decent weather right now, I ended up raking last year's leaves in the front yard (I really hate that task). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 52 minutes ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? Technically, yes. We just had an unusually heavy snowstorm two days ago by Canadian standards. Enough to shut down schools for two days. But since our offices are still closed until next Monday, I stayed home regardless. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? Not really. We seldom get enough snow to force people to stay home, but this is technically part of "the south" and people panic when the roads get wet. I've stayed home/inside for 7-10 days at a time because I don't have to go out, but that was by choice, not directly because of the weather. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've been able to drive around town, several of our runs at work ave been cancelled by weather, mostly when highways are either bad enough that they've been closed in the entire region, or else when the highways become icy and then high winds are blowing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would go for Betty White, Jane Austin, and Abigail Adams. All smart, witty women, hopefully the older two wouldn’t be too shocked by Betty’s bawdy sense of humor. 5 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? No. I had the option of working from home this last week, because the heaters at my workplace were out, but I dislike working from home. The remote servers take forever to load anything, I like having two big screens, and my youngling is constantly telling me off for not playing with her. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 7 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for today, 25 February 2022: Have you been locked down by weather this year? Still had power, water, and buses were running (more or less), so technically no, but... I did get to go home early once due to the insane ice... So insane it took us 45 minutes to get my truck back into the bay after I'd pulled out to finish my vehicle inspection... aka tried backing up, rear end slid all over the place, didn't feel like driving into a wall, so pulled forwards, and we spent 45 minutes sanding our entire lot so everyone could back in safely. We got called off the road. That's the day one of our trucks was on the news, with fire trucks around it due to a punctured (full) tank of diesel fuel after it hit ice and went for a good spin. On the plus side, there were no injuries, and that driver, while frustrated, was unharmed... And glad it happened to him, and that it was a single vehicle collision (well, and the windrow, but y'know. Snow and ice). It takes a fair bit for Alberta to genuinely shut down. Takes even more for Manitoba and Saskatchewan to call it too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
