In Denver I would regularly drive to work in heavy snow because it was really close and the roads were well taken care of by the time I went in, but now that I've moved to Alabama everything closes for a dusting.

Snow removal in New York is different.  From anywhere.  It's not deeper than Green Bay, but it's run like a massive military operation.  More than 500 snow plows, plus front end loaders, dump trucks and snow melting trucks go to work.  Canadians have the same equipment, but no one else has so much of it, because New York has a different problem.  There is no place to dump snow.  So it all has to get melted or moved to the river and dumped there.

and now Luthraeg is starting to push Viranas buttons when it comes to vehicles, and I can give you more history on the 69 Dodge Charger Daytona too.

The unseelie is good at that.

It is helpful that Virana is hanging around with Grabble.  If she had befriended Gremian... an auto enthusiast and a Gremlin, I shudder to think of what could happen.

My cousins told me they have to do that for heavy snows in downtown St. Louis too. They dump it in the Mississippi and put it on southbound trains to get rid of it. Denver definitely never had the problem of finding places to put the snow though, lots of open space.

EDIT: @GM: It's possible that I can't find it, but is there a game policy about cursing in our posts? Grabble could curse like a sailor, but I've been trying to keep it PC.

@Virana: Loving the tag team on Luthraeg.

my real dually has been sitting in a shop in Stevens point for over three months because of gremlins in a gentleman's 96 Suburban. The shop thinks they have the problems fixed, after completely redoing part of the wiring harness, and then something else in the electrical goes out or acts up. Or like earlier today, my brother came over for me to help him with a trans cooler line, we get it replaced then the other one starts leaking at the fitting on the transmission, put an extra o ring to get it to seal and it stops, until my brother is trying to put a holding bracket back on then the line suddenly pops out, so we pull the fitting to possibly replace it, only to find that non of the local part places have it in stock, so we reinstall it, hook the line back up and try it, and no leak.

Hey! Gremlins do appreciate fine constructions, ... in pieces so we can learn how they works ;)

Happy new year!

In reply to Grabble (msg # 320):

Happy new year to you too !

Happy New!

2017!
8th year on Rpol.
Time...

@Virana: Any opinion out of character about what to do next?

In addition to everything else in life right now, my computers chose this time to have inexplicable problems.

I have a PC and a laptop.  For weeks now, browsers will freeze up.  All browsers- Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox.  And they will not restart.  Only restoring the system gets them running again, and that is not fast.  On both machines.  Mcaffee scans turn up nothing, nothing looks out of the ordinary, I am baffled, and very frustrated.

Any computer geniuses out there?

Go into your programs and see if anything was recently added and if it was, uninstall it from the programs area unless you know what it is.

My first guess, because both computers are affected, is a malware (that Mcaffee can't detect...). Try with a free antivirus. I use Avast, because AVG wanted more information that I wanted to give, but I didn't try other yet.

My second guess is, by bad luck, both have faulty hardware: memory or hard disk. I don't have much experience with any tool that could help with that.

In reply to Grabble (msg # 324):

I don't know I was kind of thinking we go get other guests and that, as Virana isn't much for big bands or concerts.

In reply to Virana Nogard (msg # 328):

Sounds good. Should we go warn... er... invite the Sylph?

sure you want to start or let the gm and have the gm get things started for that

I'll post in the thread.

hope it's not a big problem using illusion as an excuse for switching vehicles:)

Checking in.  I certainly didn’t intend to be away from rpol this long, but life had definitely taken a rough swerve.  I’m okay.  But, I am the person everyone else counts on.  I am the rock.  And that is hard.  It drains energy.  Sucks it right up like a great emotional Shop-Vac.  I am not leaving rpol, though, I will be around and post when I can.  Maybe things will calm down, re-stabilize somehow.

If I was to reincarnate this game with a new plot line, anyone still around who would be back?

I could be persuaded...

I would be intrigued :)
