Big V Mumbles About Something

So far, we have picked up a little more than an inch of snow. The dogs love it. I was just outside with them and giggled as I watched them turn their faces to the light wind we have and smile as the snowflakes hit their faces. I have three dogs. One is a small Dachshund type dog that weighs about 15... Sign in to see full entry.

If I hadn't been outside playing with the goofy dogs this morning, I wouldn't have spoke with my neighbor. He told me that because we are looking at 'significant snow' tomorrow, they are moving the Halloween 'holiday' to this afternoon. I had had enough candy, but my weekend guests lowered my supply...

We had accumulation of snow totaling about an inch last night with the temps falling to about 22F. Thankfully not much wind. It's supposed to be about mid 40's the rest of the week, with the lows about 30 or so. That's your weather report, back to Big V for the rest of the news around his place. "V?...

Earlier I wrote about the high winds and such around here. This YT video was caught on the Black Rocks on the shore of Lake Superior near Marquette, Michigan about 50 miles from my home. This young man was pulled out, but there is 'rumor' that another couple was swept off the rocks in the same area... Sign in to see full entry.

We have had storm that just keeps swirling overhead and I am reading where Lake Superior is having 25 FOOT tall waves due to the high winds. During the night, I know I woke up several times with my Internet cable box beeping that it had lost power and was beginning to run on its battery backup. It's... Sign in to see full entry.

I had to make a trip to Germfask, a (very) small town twenty five miles to the west and south of me to see a man about a story I am working on for publication next spring. I really enjoyed my visit with him and I just know that I will be back to talk with him again. Besides the story and other... Sign in to see full entry.

I was working on cleaning up some notes when I happened to take a break to walk the dogs out for a few minutes. A look toward the western sky drove home the fact that we have a big thunderstorm rolling in real quick. Off in the distance, I could hear the faint roll of thunder and I know it will be...

I had to make a run to the old 'homestead' of the past three years to retrieve another huge load of 'trivial' things not yet gathered. I think I just need to make one more trip, this time with a pick up and a 16' covered trailer a friend of mine said he would lend me. I have some furniture I kept... Sign in to see full entry.

I had mentioned that I was getting "The Totally Unnecessary Death of Amanda Dawn" developed into an audio book. While we have some 'clean up work' to do on the files, scrubbing out some mic noise in the opening of a couple segments and a couple other issues, I love this woman's rendition of my...

I've been working on a number of things, first and foremost, translating notes of an interview I did with a DNR (Department of Natural Resources) officer about The Cut River Dam over the 4.1 mile long Cut River into Lake Michigan. The area is beautiful as its Sugar Maple trees are coming into their... Sign in to see full entry.
