    Default Winter...Winter....Winter....

    I looked out my window earlier today and saw the US Coast Guard icebreaker Penobscot Bay clearing ice for river traffic. We are expecting yet another big snow storm (the third one in two weeks) starting tomorrow morning into Friday afternoon -- at least another 7 inches of snow, possibly more.....yeeech....

    We saw the last of our snow the day before yesterday, although there is still some in the hills. It has got much warmer today with the cold front being pushed away by weather from the South West.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Could be worse... better you than me.

    Remember the game Frogger? When your day starts with playing that For Real Marbles dodging 18-wheelers driven by reckless idiots every morning, snow and ice become Persona Maxima Non Grata real fast.

    Another great clip showing life as it is lived on your side of the Pond Eric. We don't have anything like that here.
