On To Victory

So our beautiful state has a cash problem and it now seems urgent that they cut services and raise taxes. And this is News!? They have spent like there's no tomorrow for years - program after program and now they realize they are going broke. And I thought these were educated people running the state. At least people who could count. So... now you I, the working and fiscally careful, can pay for their programs that help the foolish and lazy and greedy. If I didn't like this state for it's hidden and beautiful natural resources I would move. If I was not so old and set in my ways. if my relatives were not here, if I didn't have any friends... I would move! But that's not the case and it looks like it's time to demand some common sense from our state leaders and so begins the campaign... ON TO VICTORY!

Snowfall

The snow has been comming down all day and I love it! There will be about a foot of new, fresh stuff to play in tonight and this weekend. I'm planning on getting out the skis and snowshoes tonight and giving them as tune up. It will stay light all night due to the reflection of lights on the snow so I can stay out a long time. There's nothing like hauling my frozen but back in t he house and feeling the warmth of the place thaw me out. I love the look of frozen clothing thawing out and leaving wet spots all over the mud room at home. Hot chocolate hits the spot here too and the easy chair just tops off a night of snow play and exploring. So... see ya - gotta go and play now! Mike
