A Weighted Number Of People

A Weighted Number Of People
Another slippery-sliding morning arrived with the light fog and overcast skies. Of course I once again felt like a greased pig on ice when walking from my back parking lot to the back door. Once the City had the front curb-sides cleared of snow, I decided to keep my car parked at the front until that ice melts off my rear parking space. I knew i … continue reading

That’s German Quality For You

That’s German Quality For You
Another dark and dreary January day arrived, and when I pulled up at office, I once again had to carefully walk over that frozen mess that's been building-up in the area where I park. At least the City workers were out front getting those snowbanks taken away, and for some reason, they've been very lax in keeping those scooped-up and hauled away. N … continue reading

A Heaping Teaspoon Of Love

A Heaping Teaspoon Of Love
Our early morning temps were a little on the biting side, but once the sun was overhead, they were back up and melting our recent snow. Unfortunately, there are some back alleys which I wouldn't dare walk on because of how much ice has been built up. The one I was driving on this morning, felt like I was riding over a giant washboard. Of course the … continue reading

We Are Shaped And Fashioned

We Are Shaped And Fashioned
My goodness gracious! The hoar frost covering nearly everything in sight, created an incentive for me to go out in the countryside to get as many photos taken before they soon disappeared once the sun was high in the sky. I couldn't help mentioning to a friend of mine this morning, how much I truly enjoy winter days like today, while hating nearly … continue reading

Allow Me To Fully Explain

Allow Me To Fully Explain
In spite of the sun shining brightly and there being little or no wind blowing, it was still biting-cold outside today, but as we all now know, the days are slowly getting longer and as soon as we get out of the month of January, we'll be able to consider the worst of those extended cold spells being behind us, or let's hope. After I got myself … continue reading

Some Sort Of Guilt Trip

Some Sort Of Guilt Trip
The lower temps this morning definitely created a biting chill in the air which lasted the entire day. It was good to see the sun shining most of the time, but it didn't seem to have much if any effect on making us feel warmer, unless we were perched in front of a large window being flooded with sunlight. I finally received the title work I've b … continue reading

Eaten The Equivalent Of Two Plastic Bags

Eaten The Equivalent Of Two Plastic Bags
With the additional snow we had late yesterday and over the night, created another go at shoveling this morning, and by the looks if it, we should be free-sailing for a number of days. I did read several days ago where we're supposed to have above average temps for the rest of January. That would be just fine by me considering how much worrying I d … continue reading

The Groaning Of Creation

The Groaning Of Creation
More snow this morning, and then misty rain this afternoon that's about a degree from being sleet. If I had to pick between sleet and snow, it would be hands-down for snow. Of course only the older ones can say that it was a rarity in decades past, to have sleet on a regular basis in the dead of winter. Once again, I'm definitely in belief that we' … continue reading

Stuck In Fast Food Ruts

Stuck In Fast Food Ruts
This was definitely a day worth remembering when finding we'd been getting rain all night, and then on and off the entire day, and what's remarkable about it, is we're in the week where for decades, was the coldest time of our winter. Back when I worked at one of our area's banks a number of years ago, the last week in December and the first week i … continue reading

Knocked Down A Few Pegs

Knocked Down A Few Pegs
Today's weather was reminiscent of those occasions when I was traveling with my sister in the northern reaches of Europe, and whenever we were near a large body of water in late Fall or early Winter, there were always bands of low-hanging clouds which blocked the sunlight, and of course the air itself was very damp and feeling all the colder. When … continue reading
