Critters ‘n Gasoline n’ Other Stuff
We spent Father’s Day weekend with John’s parents. It was a nice weekend; pretty hot though. When we got back, my Gas Price Barameter (a family-owned non-branded service station), who had held their ground at $3.99 for weeks while every other station in town hit $4+, had hit $4.03 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

How Timely!
So, it’s T-33 hours and counting until we’re on the train to NYC and I’m starting to wonder what it’s going to be like. Anonymous (a world-wide distributed anti-scientology network with no real leader) is planning an anti-Scientology protest around the Times Square area on Saturday — just a block from our hotel! The Rev. [...]
The Lights Aren’t On… But We’re Home!
We had a completely insane thunderstorm pass through yesterday (60+ mph winds, hail, driving rain) and unfortunately, it took the power with it.� At one point, so much hail had fallen that it looked like it had snowed.� One of our neighbors lost most of his gutters several roof shingles.� Another lost quite a bit [...]

I spent most of the month of January down with both Flu and Bronchitis. Unfortunately, I was still sick (and on my [...]
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
We got some snow today. Almost 5 inches, I think. A coworker and I left work early so that we could be off the roads before the crazies came out to play on the roadways. The roads were mostly clear until I got into Mount Airy. After picking up a couple [...]
It’s Winter Come Early
The winds here today have been insane. Gusts well over 45mph. When I got home this evening, it was snowing. There wasn’t any snow in the forecast and it’s not accumulating, but it’s the first snow of the season. As I check the forecast now, they’re calling for snow flurries this [...]
