One Misstep Deserves Another

Been watching Ken Burns' documentary on Vietnam. Still appalled by the lying and bad decisions in the face of overwhelming evidence they were bad decisions. But I can't say anything surprises me. Had an excellent view of the process being repeated many times. You can read about some of my experiences in fictionalized format.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

I wonder what April snow brings? 

Got Something For Me?

You could try one of these:

Killer Protocols

Clean Coal Killers

The Killer Trees

A Feast of Famine

Sudden Addiction

Signs

Do this.

Don't do that.

Can't you read the signs?

[sigh]

Boys in Their Back on Track Jackets!

Stylish!

Therapeutic!

(Humans do the dumbest things to us.)

Focus

Key ingredient of a penetrating stare.

Walking Our Snow-bound Block

Results of the great dig-out are mixed so far. We went exploring on foot. There were actually a few pavement spottings.

It's a bit of a mixed bag, though. Some streets have been partially plowed.














Then there are the places that are still virtually impassable.

Finally, there's our alley. The county says they may plow it after they've finished all the main roads and side streets. Until then, this is what separates us from the open road!

Digging Out From Snowzilla!

Right now this is a path to nowhere. The alley is under almost three feet of snow.












This is a path to Lee Highway. Note the plows have created a large ice berm that we'd need a blowtorch to cut through!

Snowzilla Update

We've gotten quite a bit of snow so far. Still have a few hours of more heavy snow left, according to the forecasts.















Thinking of renaming our house Endurance.

Whole Lotta Snow

This morning. It's still coming down.

Future's So Bright...

Falco wants to remind everyone that light reflected off snow can be very bright and damage your eyes, so wear your sunglasses when shoveling, tobogganing, or whatever!

Ice, Ice, Baby!

We got an inch of snow. This is the street, a major thoroughfare, in front of our house. Forecasts are predicting a foot or more starting Friday night. Something tells me we're not prepared...

Puck's Big Adventure

Hey guys! Let's drive out to the country and go for a hike!

                                                    You ready?

Let's go!










                     Log walking is a fun part of hiking!

There's a lot of other fun stuff, too!












             Aaaahhhh! Now for the best part! Zzzzzzzz...

Yes, Puck!

It's a turkey!

What's happening in the kitchen?

Is that a TURKEY!?!

Bad Puppies?

Went to the vet today. This was in the exam room. Falco was not amused.

Left Behind!

Susan's in Vermont for a week of sled-dog training!
















We are not amused!

Just a Lazy Sunday Afternoon

. . . and Falco pondering the imponderables.

Three...Two...One...

Lift off!
