    Well, the good news is next year is only 2 months away.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I'll package some up for you. Couple containers full enough?

    Pictures will be enough.

    I well remember the snow of 1960.

    Snowed every day for the entire month. Saw roads that loaders had cut a swath 12 feet deep in places. National guard dropped necessities to local folks, folks would wave a empty container of what the needed and here it came. Neighbor waved a coke bottle, she didn't get that. One farmer need hay, oops bale of hay hit one cow and killed it.

    Don't mind snow as long as equipment will start but that darn ice is a killer.

    Wishing upon a star for it, but nothing yet.


    23° this morning when I woke up.


    Furnace set at 55°, bedroom vent locked down shut, 2 windows wide open, door shut.


    Best sleep I've had in ages, under 2 of grandma's quilts.


    Opened the bedroom door at 3am when the alarm went off, and the 55° hallway felt like walking into an oven.


    Favorite time of the year!

    That’s why I love winter camping, snug inside a mummy bag in a snow trench, nose exhaling through a little hole you left open in front.

    I had to learn to cover my face with the hood after I froze my eyes shut a couple times. That is a weeeeeird feeling.
