A Thank You To The Hurricanes
It wasn’t a tropical system on Saturday night that kept me from the Carolina Hurricanes hockey game against the Chicago Blackhawks, but it was the snowy, icy weather (great for outdoor hockey!) that kept me from seeing a great game.
I was very pleased when the Hurricanes thought of the safety of their fans and gave [...]
Got Milk? (and Bread)?
The looks were interesting yesterday, as I stood in the checkout line getting a gallon of milk and a two loaves of bread. I laughed with a couple of people as I held up my bread and milk and stated, “you’ve been warned.”
Seriously this storm system could become dangerous in terms of travel, so we [...]
Thankful To Be A Weather Forecaster
What gripes you more, hidden fees or not getting a human on the phone? According to this months issue of Consumer Reports those two things were number one and two on the survey list of “Top gripes: What bugs America the most”.
Personally I can’t stand when I can’t get a human on the phone. Consumer [...]
Father Daughter Song
I am always on the lookout for a well written, heart tugging Father, Daughter song. I have a pretty good collection, but yesterday I stumbled, (if you can do that on a computer) across a great one.
It is a country song from last year by Darius Rucker. I have 3 or 4 of his albums [...]
Visiting The State Farmer’s Market

Once again this year, I am going with 4 tomato plants and once again [...]
Wacky Weather Out West

As we get ready for a beautiful weekend and get out doors whether in the back yard or the beach, winter is raging in Colorado. They are expecting feet of snow through Saturday. Here is a picture from [...]
Russian Scientists Think An Ice Age Is Coming
Found this article on the internet. It is from Pravda; yes that is the state run media from Russia. It is an interesting take on the earth’s climate. While most everybody says we are warming the earth with CO2, this article states that over the long haul, were talking hundreds of thousands of years, CO2 [...]
Christmas Lights Are Done
Say what? Yes, this past Sunday I put the finishing touches on my outdoor Christmas lights. My daughter wanted more lights, so I gave in and added two hundred more lights to a little bush near the garage.
I started putting lights outside on December 1st and honestly haven’t done much after one week. I put [...]
Favorite Christmas Specials
I know that they get played every year at this time and they might seem to get old; but I still look forward to watching Christmas specials. Obviously the one’s that I remember as a child are the best. So if I had to list my three favorite specials they would be:
By far and away: #1) A [...]
