My To Do List - First, Fix The Recliner

Last night was the first in well over a week that we didn't hit temps below zero. While we did get down to 2 degrees, that ain't zero! You take the small victories where you can get them. During all of this cold and snow, the village DPW has done a wonderful job of keeping the streets clear and... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodbye Rose!

I just read that Rose Marie of the early 1960's show, "The Dick Van Dyke Show" has died at age 94. Thanks for the laughs Rose. You were a wonderful actress and singer. Sign in to see full entry.

New Year Resolutions

I thought I had posted there here earlier, but now I remember that I got a call just as I set to do so and then forgot about them. Every year, I try to make and keep five basic 'resolutions' for the upcoming year. I've always made them, but it wasn't until New Year's Eve of 2013 that I began to... Sign in to see full entry.

Photos I have Taken

The Michigan Counsel on Tourism puts out some very nice ads billed as "Pure Michigan" that are true works of art. Then there are the knockoff ads like this one about Michigan winters. Check out this one and then this one and then this one. If you watch them all, you'll understand why I call the... Sign in to see full entry.

Learning About Things

This is getting ridiculous! Night after night it has dipped into double digits below zero. My car took right off this morning, but it groaned about starting this morning when it was 17 below. A glance at the advance weather shows little promise of warming in the next ten days. Lots of exciting... Sign in to see full entry.

Random Mumblings

It's already down to 4 degrees and heading to about 10 below again. A light, but steady snow is falling as the sun sinks below the tree line. The guy on the radio says we may get another eight to ten inches tonight. My big black dog keeps wandering outside and then comes back in to shake off the... Sign in to see full entry.

I'll Admit It, I Am A Hedonist But Check This Out!

Alright, I will admit in advance that this will be a bit hedonistic, but it floored me so much that I had to read it three times to make sure I had read it right. As I've mentioned, I joined the #RRBC (Rave Review Book Club) to join a motivated and high level set of writers. They promote and support... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a mind (and toe) numbing 17 below outside right now. We are supposed to be about zero for a high today. I am writing this on a cell phone because I have a lap full of dog seeking love and affection and body heat after going outside. I think the car will start, but I'll wait a couple more hours...

No Traction

Well nuts! We are getting a lot of snow and it is getting colder by the hour. I have been trying to start the car engine at least every couple hours to maintain some heat in the block and make sure it starts in the morning. Wouldn't ya know, I slipped out in the driveway and landed on my left wrist.... Sign in to see full entry.

It continues to be cold here. It got to a high of 4 today and is already at 4 below. Lovely. They are also calling for a couple feet more of snow tonight. Figures! I just paid someone to plow my driveway. Oh well, that's life in the #906 area code. Sign in to see full entry.
