BlogFour inches of snow fell today, ironically 4 days before the official start of spring. I used to enjoy winter weather, and towards the end of summer I usually look forward to it. This winter started late and I have a feeling it's going to drag on. An associate of mine who resides 1200 miles south has been enticing me with tales of year round warm weather. The 4-5 months I lose each year to cold weather could be put to good use if I relocate. One can dream.

a dog can give. This was placed so perfectly it had to be captured in time.
Today is
Myrone's birthday, but unfortunately he
moved to California so I can't take him out to BoxBar for the occasion. Instead, I've decided to pay a few curb squirrels to dress up in bright orange jackets and knock on my door at various times today. If you see one on the
gnome cam you can relive the days of Myrone with me.
Today a warm front moved in resulting in wind gusts of up to 50 MPH. This made for some interesting scenes including uprooted trees and flying recycle bins. It also caused power interruptions which were entertaining at work. Unfortunately this warm front is only going to last till tonight, after which it's back to snow.
The gregorian calendar is used by almost the entire world, and has been since 1582. Since the earth travels around the sun in exactly 365.2424 days, every 4 years this calendar has an extra day thrown in on Feb 29th. Why Feb 29th was chosen I don't know, but I do know that the
Julian Calendar kicks the crap ouf the Gregorian. Convert now!
My friend
Duane and I went to
AutoRama recently to check out the latest classic and tuner cars, but wound up people watching. Detroit auto shows definately bring out some very interesting people.
I had a hell of a time of it, but I'm finally back. I apologize to all 3 of my loyal readers, you are what I live for and I've let you down. For that I'll commence my own thrashings, followed by the castration. During my absence there was a snow penis on the
webcam, and Butt went back on strike. Alright kids, see if you can spot the dates! My cat says hello to everyone, and I say goodnight.
I've had the
Google Toolbar installed on my system
since late August, and in that time it has
blocked 572 popups. If the popup blocker was the only feature of the toolbar I'd love it, but add to that the text search/highlight features, convienient search box (with options to search images or current site only with one button) and it's a necessity. Much as I often ask "what did I do before Google?" I now ask myself the same question with regard to the toolbar. Too bad they're going public soon, stock holders tend to squash creativity with bean counting. Until then, I'm a proud member of the
Church of Google.
The suspected
radiation fallout on the
GnomeCam turned out to be a
malfunctioning video receiver. Those of you wearing tin foil hats can once again rest assured impending doom is not near (at least not near my house). Fortunately I had a spare receiver just waiting for a chance to prove itself. We'll see if it can exceed the previous receivers record of 2 years non-stop receiving.
