Which is roughly the same diameter as a penny, but, you know, spherical instead of flat, so it seems more apt as applied to hail. Except that grapes that fall out of the sky just kinda 'splat' on the roof of your car, whereas hail of that size might dent it.<br /><br />And I'm sorry, but 'kumquat' makes me think of something else entirely. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-4442211202502592013-03-10T12:31:27.243-04:002013-03-10T12:31:27.243-04:00Using "football field" as a unit of meas...Using "football field" as a unit of measure always confuses me.... does that refer to American football (AFL), or perhaps the Canadian version (CFL), or Aussie rules football..... or possibly the British equivalent, which you laughingly call soccer, but as all British people know is the one and only REAL football.

But The Overlord's doctor (neurologist) likes to ask if The Overlord has any more birthmarks larger than the size of a pencil eraser, or a quarter. I prefer if people just said half-an-inch or an inch or a certain number of feet, although feet come in so many different shapes and sizes that they are hard to relate to measurement. and I imagine stink lines and flies buzzing around the smelly ones.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-29475505490677675302013-03-10T09:28:18.497-04:002013-03-10T09:28:18.497-04:00We weren't supposed to get any.

During the storm of 05, where in we got almost 28 inches, I parked in the garage and had to shovel the entire thing myself (WAY before Tony and I were married)The kids were only 5 and 3. I remember looking through the window and saying "So help me GAWD if you two don't stop fighting I'm gonna get you a shovel."<br /><br />The neighbors thought I was nuts.

The only really good thing about being unemployed is that I don't have to sweat digging out my 60-foot (no, that's not a typo) driveway.
