Holy Warming Church

Tell me I am not the only one seeing the purchase of carbon offests as a parallel between the cult of global warming and the pre-reformation purchase of dispensations from the Catholic Church?  Why is it I suspect that one is just about as valid and useful as the other?  I am rich, so let me sin, for I shall buy my way out of all consequences for my actions… Feh.

As Promised, Pictures

Maybe even more to come. 

Morning breaks after the blizzard

99 percent done by hand with shovel, 1 percent done by driving over it

And Jenny in over her head...

Happy Valentine’s Day

Remember the admonishment of Valen of sacred memory and remember to go polish your tines today.

Blizzard Aftermath

They are claiming 17 inches, and at first I was more than a bit skeptical.  That was before I found out that the snow was up to the second step up onto the deck.  There were adventures driving to the salt mine, and then home from the mechanics with Pups yesterday, but nothing too bad.  Worst wasn’t the foot or more of snow and slush on major roads/highways, but the idiots who seemed to feel that large and/or 4WD repealed the laws of physics…

Today, I dug out and I even took a picture, but can’t seem to find the card reader so it will have to wait until tomorrow.  Short version:  Deck path to stairs, stairs, path, 20x20 around the car, and then 200 plus feet (Tammi, Bloodspite, think from gate to the far end of the road) 99 percent by hand.  One percent was via vehicle to knock down drifts and such in the center, with final clean up via hand.  Worst of that was at the far end where the snow plows had been piling up massive amounts of snow.  Several hours work, and I probably should not have forgotten to eat lunch, but am bouncing back.  I’ve already had one Aleeve (and several forearm cramps after stopping), and am seriously considering a hot toddy of some type here soon.  Either the last of the Glogg I made or a good hot buttered Scotch (single malt, of course). 

More soon.

Yes, It Is Snowing

What they say is a blizzard.  Not too bad in some ways, but I am about to venture out again soon and see if they have the roads so that I can get into work.  Yep, the salt mine refuses to close even though almost everything else around here has…

More soon, maybe even some pictures.

Notes To Self

1.  Comments of “Lassie would have done/gotten X for me...” don’t go over well with the dog.

2.  Cries of “Oh, the hudogitty!” in response to complaints about not enough treats/scritches/etc. are starting to be detected by her as sarcasm. 

3.  Not sure she appreciates sarcasm…
