  UPDATE – All Extreme Cold Warnings have ended.

Yesterday afternoon after letting Max out to do his business I decided to toss some things into the shed that I found in the basement that needed to be stored away for the rest of the winter. I took the opportunity to reacquaint myself with all the of things I stuffed in there before the […]

Yesterday after supper my wife and I were sitting in the living room watching the news when she suddenly blurted out, “I’d like to wash the walls before we leave on our trip.” Really? Where do these thoughts come from? We’ve never had anyone over to our house EVER that made a comment on how […]

This morning on my way to work a cat scurried across the street in front of me. Don’t people keep track of their pets anymore? Especially in the winter? This is tough weather for any living thing to be outdoors with nowhere to go. I understand that a cat can scurry out the door in […]

Last week when I got home from work I noticed there was a bright pink paper in our mailbox folded over so half the paper was in the box and the other half was on the outside. Whoever put that in the box wanted to make sure I didn’t miss it, which would be tough […]

Yesterday on my way home from work I did something I very rarely do. I stopped by a full service gas station. I really didn’t care how much more I was paying, I wasn’t going to stand outside my vehicle in a minus 30 wind chill watching the numbers roll on the gas pump. I […]

When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was to peek out the bedroom window to check if we got any of the snow that was forecast to fall overnight. I was pleasantly surprised to see that we hadn’t, yet. On my way to work I ended up behind a city gravel […]
