My Secret Cat

So, winter storm Leon is gone, nothing much happened, but I did get to see some sleet, but, there were no snow accumulations. Well maybe next winter. That's ok I don't think Houston would do good with snow. Houston is not used to snow and ice. Luckily the roads weren't as icy this time. I think they had more time to de-ice the roads this time. It looks like they got it bad over in Atlanta. They had about 3 inches of snow and everybody got stuck in traffic, that's not fun. Well it doesn't look like we are going to get any more winter storms this week. We even got some days with highs in the 70's. I feel sorry for all of y'all in the north that are battling the cold. I hope it warms up for y'all real soon. Spring is about two months away! Well that will do it for winter storm Leon. I don't think Houston will be getting anymore winter storms any time soon, so that will do it for now. Until next time! Signing off, see y&#

With my first T-shirt design submitted, I was happily working on many different designs, but when I submitted them they were right away declined, I kept on submitting, reworking and re-submitting my designs, but they kept on getting declined, so after about a couple of weeks of getting declined submissions, I started to feel some pain, but from that pain became gain. I learned that I didn't need to worry about getting my designs submitted and that I can enjoy the artwork that I made even if others didn't. So I created a new blog called Joseph'sweirdart@ http://josephsweirdart.blogspot.com/ where I can show and share my designs and enjoy the artwork that I made. The above drawings are called Living in Paradise, which is my latest design, that has been constantly declined. The first drawing at the top of the page is my first drawing of Living in Paradise and the last drawing is my latest drawing of Living in Paradise. I am still working on it and am hoping t

Well I didn't see any snow, or sleet....I think a drop of sleet might have fallen on my face, when I was out in the back yard of my house, during the beginning of 8 pm, but i'm not sure. The drop didn't feel like a rain drop, it felt like a sleet, or snow drop, so it might have been a sleet, or snow drop, but I couldn't tell, or see since the drop melted once it fell on my face. Pictures of winter storm Kronos... So not much snow, or sleet, but some ice crystals looked to have formed, at my house, sometime during the late morning. I had set my alarm clock to 6 am, hoping to see some sleet, or snow falling when I woke up, but when I woke up and looked out of my houses windows, only light rain, or ice pellets, or maybe freezing rain looked to be falling. I didn't start to see the ice crystals until around 11 am, so I am guessing that is around the time that they had formed. The ice crystals started to melt at around 11:30 am, so they weren

It's Coming..... There is a reason why we have fireplaces in Houston. Winter storm Kronos! I think that is cool that they name winter storms, although I wonder where they got the names from. I think they are from Greek gods, or something.... This is Houston's biggest winter storm since 2009. It is true that Houston has had some winter weather these past few years, since 2007, but they have been isolated incidents, but not major winter storms. Houston usually gets major winter storms every 5 to 10 years and they aren't really that major, except for Houstonians that aren't that used to winter weather.  We almost had another snow/sleet storm, in Houston, back in January of 2011, but most areas only saw just a few flurries. I don't think any of the areas in, or around Houston saw more than that. There might have been some isolated areas that saw some light snow showers, but that's it. Houston almost got some snow/sleet back in 2010. My mom said tha

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is about a dream!" That's all I could think of.... I don't know much about rowing, or round. Tires are round. I could write a story about how my round tire got flat, last March, while on my way to go go karting with a group of car people that I met on meetup.com. but i'm not sure how interesting that would be. Also I think I might have already written something about that. Wait! No I didn't! My car's tire that had been popped. I drew a smiley face while I was waiting for my parents. As I was driving down the freeway, nearing the go kart place, I heard a pop and a warning light lit up on my car's dashboard. Not sure if it was anything, but thinking that it might have been my car's tire, I decided to exit the freeway and I pulled into a gas station. When I got out of my car and looked at the right rear, I saw that my car's right rear tire was flat.

I remember when my mom and dad first got a cell phone, back in the late 90's, they were as big as a house phone. Then in the early 2000's, we all had phones, my brother, little sister, older sister, and me, all had a phone and they were much smaller than a house phone, about an inch, or maybe a couple of inches thick. They could fit easily into someone's pocket. Also they now had games and different ring tones. Now phones are pretty much computers, i'm still using the regular phones though. Just to call and text, nothing else. I like how phones have evolved over these past two decades, from house phones, to personal cell phones, and now pretty much computers. All you need in one! It's pretty interesting to see how most people went from not having that any cell phones to everybody having one. It was like a big boom, everybody now had one. I think even kids have them. Which I think is good, just in case they get lost, their parents can track them, or if they get hur

The day was cold, it was -8 degrees when Kyle and his father drove to the used car dealership. Inside Kyle's father wasn't too happy about driving to the dealership in the snow and cold, but it was Kyle's 16th birthday and Kyle's father had promised Kyle he would get him a car for his birthday. Kyle's father wanted to have gone to get Kyle his car two weeks earlier when Kyle presented the idea to him, but Kyle's father had been up to his nose in paperwork, so he didn't have time to go car shopping and now it was Kyle's birthday. It was also Sunday.... But Kyle's father had made a promise to his son and he was going to keep it! A harsh big gust of wind blew across Kyle's face as they both stepped out of  Kyle's father's warm, old Jeep Wagoner. The dealership didn't look to be opened, but they both decided to go take a look. Kyle had been reading the auto mags and his eyes were on the white 98' Camaro shoved way in the back. "
