Another Day in Paradise (No, really!)

Being outside and shoveling snow today was great exercise and gave me some time to spend connecting with a couple of my neighbors who are great people. There's certainly plenty of it to shovel if I should feel very ambitious. My shoulders are a little sore and I can't believe how sore my hands are. That's what I get for being a computer jocky, I guess. Shoveling is hard work, but oddly satisfying. Maybe because I'm doing it because I want to, and because it brings people out to work together and share the experience.

Five minutes (okay, maybe ten) after I shoveled a path:
Trying to keep up

The snow covering the patio around the walkway is less than 24 hours old. The patio has been shoveled 3 different times since Friday. I finally just stuck with creating a path:

I think I actually do have some bird seed and bread I can put out for the creators of these:

Just incredible:
Unbelievable....

Yeah, it snowed...What's it like in Olympia?

  • Kubutu.org

    KDE 4.x Is A Fiasco. If You Can Find Kubuntu 8.04 On An Ftp Server, I Strongly Recommend It Over Newer Versions. 8.04 Still Uses KDE 3.5.x.

  • Monsanto vs Schmeiser

    "In my case, I never had anything to do with Monsanto, outside of buying chemicals. I never signed a contract. If I would go to St. Louis and contaminate their plots--destroy what they have worked on for 40 years--I think I would be put in jail..."
