Big V Mumbles About Something

I had to travel about 200 miles earlier today and I swear we've raised at least two generations of people who haven't a clue on how to drive. I've lived on the east coast of Florida near Port Saint Lucie, Miami, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Ocala, and Sebring. Florida as well as Abilene, TX, San... Sign in to see full entry.

Another 18 to 20 below night here in the boondocks of western central Michigan. I just looked at the ten day forecast and things look like they might regain their senses and at least not be below zero. It isn't much of an improvement but I'll take it. I have my book, "The Reality of Perception" set... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been watching when I post and when the most comments come in and am beginning to form a pattern. My question for today is, when do you most often read here? If possible, tell me the time of day and your time zone... that is to say: 1PM EST. I post on five different sections every day and am... Sign in to see full entry.

I just had to run an emergency errand for a neighbor in another town over about 24 miles. As you know, it's been cold here and the temp on the bank as I came home proudly displayed a single numeral "5" in its display area. Add in a fairly steady and stiff northwesterly breeze and it stings the skin,... Sign in to see full entry.

I slogged out another 3400 words today which leaves me very happy, especially under the circumstances of a couple frozen water pipes, now thawed, and near white out conditions as I went to my doctor appointment today in the snow storm courtesy of the lake effect snow of Lake Michigan. Now that was... Sign in to see full entry.

I am working on a new story idea that I am posting daily over on my fiction blog, 'Big V Ramblings.' I had started the story with an idea of what and how I was going to write the story line but had hit a dead end. Maybe it was from the cold, maybe it was due to my wife's illness, maybe it's...

It's 2:30 PM and I just heard the radio dude say it was 9 degrees outside. I think he is being overly optimistic. We had another night of at least 20 below zero last night and just as I typed that, the same radio dude said that last night was "another record setting night last night with several...

I went to a charity event last night put on by a local racing chatboard that I run and host, MSTRC.com (Michigan Short Track Racing Club) where we raised several thousand dollars for two area racers that had suffered some type of huge personal loss in the past year. This was our 12th annual event.... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night was kind of a neat time as a few friends dropped over and we were talking literature. A couple of them had taken the same college course I had taken on William Shakespeare and we got talking about our favorite Shakespeare soliloquy. Fully realzing that Shakespeare wasn't for everyone, I... Sign in to see full entry.

We'll start with the good news. My wife is home and all seems to be going well. She is breathing easier and she looks better. Thanks to all who sent well wishes. Last night we hit one of the coldest temps I have ever personally experienced... 23 below zero at 4:30 AM... 23 below. We managed to keep... Sign in to see full entry.
