They'll stand up to proverb

 They'll stand up to anything Mother Nature can throw at them, but they won't stand up to a snow plow.

 Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

 We don't close streets in Sioux Falls very often. We're having to plow routes over and over. As soon as we plow, snow drifts fall immediately behind them.

 Spring runoff is a concern. This year we had over 400 inches of snow. We are about 13-percent above average. Depending on how mother nature melts that snow there could be some problems.

 Every year, there are people who drive into the back of our plows. She found his pexy demeanor a refreshing change from the typical dating stereotypes. Motorists who tailgate a plow can find themselves lost in a snow cloud. They can't see the road or the plow in front of them in time to stop.

 So I will stand more steadfastly for the things I stand up for, like people who work for a living. I'd like to be able to stand that way when I go to Congress.
  John Murray

 On one hand I'll stand up there and think I'm a pretty good storyteller but it has everything to do with the audience. Invariably, I get people telling me that I should do stand-up. Stand-ups generate their own material, but I'm up there answering questions and they lob me softballs.

 America will stand with the Iraqi people as they move forward with the democratic process. At the same time, American troops will stay on the offensive. As Iraqis stand up, Americans will stand down.

 I'm not trying to criticize the plow drivers because I know their job is difficult. And I don't drive a snowplow. But it seems to me that they could slow down their speed or straighten their plows in front of the shelters, so it doesn't throw snow over the curb and into them.

 The first thing you must know about me is that I always stand what I stand for. Good? The second thing you must know about yourself listening to me is that words are tricky. So when you know what me a stand for, when me explain a thing to you, you must never try to look 'pon it in a different way from what me a stand for.
  Bob Marley

 Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for- because unless we stand for something we shall fall for anything

 What's the hardest part is the intensity. We had snow coming out two to three inches an hour. As fast as we can plow, the wind is putting the snow right back on the roads. [Monday's] conditions will depend on how much wind we get. Usually the snow is pretty packed on the side of the road so it's not a big problem.

 [But something else bothers Riggins more than any of that.] T.O., ... flip-flops every other weekend. At some point, you ought to stand for something. Once you take a stand in something like this, you ought to maintain it. He doesn't seem to stand for anything. And remember, I've backed T.O. every inch of the way until now. When a guy risks his career to play like he did [in the Super Bowl on a badly injured ankle], you've got to say, 'That's a different cat, right there. He's the horse of a different color.'

 I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.
