"Despite 1998 being the warmest individual year, the last 10 years have clearly been the warmest period in the 160-year record of global surface temperature maintained jointly by [...]

Most of you have heard me complain all winter about the frigid temps and constant snowfall. Then came spring…well sort of, in name only. It never really did get warm except for a few days. Now we’re almost half way through June and it’s still not warm! Our heat hasn’t been turned off yet, in [...]

Well I was going to complain about the dreary, cloudy and overcast day but that would be querulous.
I don’t know how many more days I can take of dark, dreary, damp, and depressing. Just received an email listing Top 10 hot Caribbean Hotels. If this weather doesn’t break soon I might just have to hop on a plane and visit one of these places. Thought you might enjoy the list…the links take [...]

We’ve had snow on the ground since the beginning of November and though some melted in the last few days we have a fresh batch. Late afternoon today driving back from X-mas shopping I tried to snap a few photos. Some were taken from the inside the vehicle as we stopped at the bottom of [...]

What a nasty day here! I never would have left the warmth of my home had I not needed milk (or drink my coffee black tomorrow morning). I opted for pulling out the boots, warming up the vehicle and making my way to the nearest grocery store.

Sorry for my absence but boy what a week it was! The end to the nastiest election I have seen in my lifetime. We had a few days to bask in the victory of President Elect Obama, and watch the fallout from the GOP. I was surprised that Sarah Palin’s plane hadn’t even hit cruising [...]
Seems I haven’t done much blogging lately due to road trips. But then again isn’t that what summers are all about? My trip to Ohio was wonderful, I got to spend time with my Father, Brother and S-I-L and of course my best friend Mary Jane. I even managed to squeeze in a visit with [...]
