It never got very warm here (~22 for the high) and it got to be quite slippery. I heard about a number of 'fender benders,' but I was smart enough to stay off the roads. I took training in driving an emergency vehicle, but the clown driving 25 mph too fast for conditions probably didn't. I got some... Sign in to see full entry.

We all have various 'New Year Resolutions' that we hope to obtain for the upcoming year. Typically, mine have been to write 'six to seven number of short stories of 15,000 to 25,000 stories' and to get at least two '50,000+ word novels.' Typically. Yeah, I'm back to whining about my current... Sign in to see full entry.

I woke up with all of the dogs laying around me. While it was nice, it was HOT! The bundle of us made for a lot of body heat. I guess it's part of being 'in the pack.' It makes them all happy, so it works for me. Fortunately, I have a king size bed and there is room for all of us. Another day of... Sign in to see full entry.

This shock you, but the weather service has declared another 'winter storm watch' for my area, with accumulations of six to eight inches of new snow. I'm sure the dogs will love that! LOL. They enjoy plowing through the new snow like they are live snow plows. Now if I could only teach them to clear... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm filling in for a friend of mine for his six-minute 'news brief' on his radio show until the end of the week. I've been doing it since just before New Years'. It's fun, and I have free reign to say what I want to say. It requires I get up a bit earlier than normal so I can scan the RSS news feeds... Sign in to see full entry.

I started to make an entry in this section when one of my 'project people' called me. I have asked this woman about 749 times not to just call me, but to text me first and then I will call her as soon as I get a moment. 'Mary' is about 80 years old, has a horrendous case of edema in her legs and... Sign in to see full entry.

My headache went away, and since the day was already shot, I went for a long drive out and about the area. I traveled on as many back roads as possible just to see what I could see. As you can see here, I saw some interesting things. The dogs were definitely intrigued. For those wondering about my... Sign in to see full entry.

I used to do a joke section here a year or two back. When my recovery from pancreatic cancer was in huge doubt, I pulled it and several other things. I've begun to 'think funny' again, so I'll be sneaking one in here every now and again. So, here we are. My dad worked at a bank as a manager for... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm slow today. Not because of the frigid temps, but because of family events during the night. My nephew Jim, who has done a lot of the rebuild work when I first bought this place back in 2016, attempted suicide about 4 AM. He called two of his three daughters, couldn't reach the third before... Sign in to see full entry.
