It is Man’s Fate

A Dinosaur back to Life

For the first time this year, it actually felt like Spring outdoors. It started out at around 20 degrees when I left for the office, but soon cranked up into the 40's. It's amazing how one's attitude can change once the wind stops blowing, the sun … continue reading

Always Brings us Woe

Today, whenever the opportunity would arise, I would ask people who're considerably older than me if they ever remember a Spring like this. They all emphatically replied, "No". Nearly all would say they recalled one-time dumps of snow in April, b … continue reading

Ground Foragers

With it being such a bright and sunny day, I decided to get some errands run before tomorrow's storm hit. Not realizing the time, I discovered I'd been away from the office for nearly three hours. It would've been a very pleasant day had the nort … continue reading

The first thing I had to do this morning was to go searching for some homeowner's association documents having to do with the condo I have listed at 422 S. Tennessee Place here in Mason City. I did manage to find most of them, but what I was missin … continue reading

Mortgage their Children

This wind and rain today was enough to keep nearly everyone inside, but there are always those few brave souls who defy such weather and carry on as if it's just another normal day in North Iowa. As wacky as this weather has been this winter, I'd say … continue reading

Cunningly Fomenting

Here we are at the 12th of April, and the snowbanks in the Manor's parking lot across the street from my office, are still around six feet tall. Just so you get a better picture of how creepy our weather has been, we are 112 days past the winter so … continue reading
