The little plants that could...

Look at the transition from the first picture to the third. I think
it's easy to tell the pictures a part. The first picture was taken on
October 8 and the last today. I cannot believe how much those plants
have grown. It's really amazing. I see them every day, but I would
have never guessed they had grown so much.

The Great Blizzard of 2010

Well, kids, I made the stupid statement the other day that "real jobs don't have snow days."  Apparently, Mother Nature took offense and proved me wrong.  I am officially snowed in.  This has never happened in my life, and it is officially as cold as it's ever been since before I was alive. 

I tried taking the four-wheeler out to look at the snow drifts, but I barely got it out of the garage.  The snow was too deep, so instead I took my horse out along with my camera to get some pictures of the drifts. A mile was all I was comfortable traveling.  I didn't want to worry anyone by being out in the frigid air longer than I needed to be.  The other direction from my house dead ends at waist-high snow.  It's officially the most snow I've ever seen.  I have dreams that one day when I'm old and grey I will be able to tell my grandchildren tales of the Great Blizzard. For now, I'm crossing my fingers that the road gets graded tomorrow, so we can get out of the house via transportation that isn't from the Middle Ages. 

These are some of the pictures I took while I was out and about on my horse.

Sometimes I wonder if I got into the wrong field of study...

Today, I read this article about writing fantasy novels, and it got me remembering my childhood dreams of being a writer.  I later read this blog post, and my dreams became more detailed and I started wondering why I don't write.  I always want to write, but I never actually do it.  That seems silly to me.  It's especially silly since I like to write.  All these aspirations of writing, led me to this Google search.  Granted, I made it to that search in a roundabout way. 

Eventually, I began thinking that maybe I should apply to a writer's workshop like Clarion.  I think I would be good at it.  I think first, though, I'll see if I can stick with actually writing for awhile.  Then... Who knows?  Maybe I'll decide that I like it.  Maybe I won't, but at least I will know.  You know?

Who could it possibly be?

(502) 968-2020

I've been getting repeated calls from this phone number.  They never leave a message, and I never answer.  I called them back once, and got an automated recording.  It seemed odd, but I ignored it.  That is until today.  They continually call me; at least twice a day.  I looked the number up on Google just now, and it turns out that the number belongs to THV-ThermoView Industries Inc.  A company based out of Louisville, KY. 

I have no idea why they keep calling me.  It's really annoying. 

That's when I decided to take action.  Thanks to Google Voice, I just had to click one measly little button to have all their calls blocked. 

"This number is no longer in service." 

(Post Script: My intent was not actually a Google Voice commercial.  Disregard all likeness to such.)
