Another day off to a bad start. Four calls, only one of them important. The other three took up over two hours of my time. The important one took four minutes. Irony defined. It's supposed to be 50 here today, and I am more than ready for it. We lost a lot of snow, but it still stands 8 to 10" deep... Sign in to see full entry.

It seems that when it rains, it pours. Without going into the events of the day, suffice to say it was less than pleasant. That old song from the TV show, 'Hee Haw' keeps playing in the back of my head. Long story short, I didn't get spit-diddly-do-da done today. I hate days like that. Oh well. It's...

It's warming up here. I have it at about 35 on a day they say will hit in the mid 40's. Maybe I can find my car yet. The steady 20+ mph wind will keep the puddles from forming. Unlike yesterday when my 'creative juices' were flowing fast and furious, today is going to be one of those 'type a... Sign in to see full entry.

While I look forward to people stopping in, I'm not keen on people just stopping by unannounced. The Mackinaw Bridge was closed down due to high winds and falling ice from the cables and arches, and they couldn't get back across to go south, so they drove to my place and just knocked on the door. I... Sign in to see full entry.

The village is still digging out after the blizzard we had the other day. Me? My car still sits under about a foot of snow. I have what I need and fail to see the need to go out and shovel four tons of snow out of my driveway. I'll wait for it to melt somewhat. I finally got my first review of my...

I'm torn on what to do here next, and I'm asking for advice. I have a murder story fairly well developed that also will include two poems from a Blog-It member. I also have thought about the story line that I outlined here this morning, and I think I could do that story on the fly, meaning I would... Sign in to see full entry.

We picked up another seven inches of snow last night, leaving my car almost hidden from view in the driveway. All told, this last storm has brought about 19" of snow. Oddly enough, it is supposed to be about 45 tomorrow. Ahhh, soon we will be complaining about the heat. It's the cycle of life.... Sign in to see full entry.

We got roughly eleven inches of new snow last night, but it never got much below 22 degrees. Got to look for the positive when you can. The dogs seem to be enjoying the snow a lot more than the rest of the local populace. Since I sat down to write this, they've been n and out of the doggie door... Sign in to see full entry.

After about five straight days of 'Chicken Little' weather forecasts, the sky really is falling. The snow is falling fast and heavy. The 'Mighty Mack' is closed to 'high profile vehicles' due to high winds, leaving the possibility it could soon be closed to all traffic soon. In the meantime, we (me... Sign in to see full entry.

Oops. I got completely gathered up in a story I am doing and forgot I hadn't posted here today. Apparently the "BIG Storm" they keep promising us stopped off a bar and will get here tonight by golly! Once again... 8-18" of new snow. As of 5:45PM, none of it has started. It's the middle of the month,... Sign in to see full entry.
