I gotta watch it with all these pictures, My blog is going to turn into a photo blog. I just can’t resist snow pictures. I think it has to do with growing up in the south. I never took snow pictures because it was hardly ever impressive.
I remember when my dad made me till a vegetable garden with a maddox.
In the middle of a Mississippi summer, this was brutal. Of course, I did appreciate the muscle tone I suddenly had after three weeks of using this monster. I was about 12 I think, but the ground was an awful clay stuff that stuck to the maddox making it even heavier than it already was if I tried to do it while the ground was wet…and would hardly give way if I tried to till while the ground was dry.
I forgot to mention that I wasn’t alone. My younger brother and I would take turns at it. I probably would have burned out pretty quick if it hadn’t been for the friendly competition.
I didn’t find out till I was looking for a picture of a Maddaxe just now, that it wasn’t a madaxe, it was a maddox. I had been pronouncing it slightly wrong for the last 15 years. Fortunately, it’s not a word you use every day.
I suppose every post should have a point, so my point is this:
Snowy New England winters offer much better ways to get in shape!
If you run out of driveway to shovel, shovel a neighbor. If you run out of neighbors, shovel the yard!
When you come in, you will wonder who turned the heat up to a thousand degrees, but the health benefits are wonderful!
Windows just reminded me why I don’t like it. I just resumed Vista (vmware fusion uses the hibernate function of windows) when I copied a file over…and the system promptly restarted itself. No warning whatsoever. There probably was supposed to be a dialogue box to click on, but no such box appeared because the OS had just been resumed. Only IDIOTS thinks it’s a good idea to restart your computer for you if you DON’T tell it not to. I would send a letter to Microsoft if I thought anyone would read it AND have any authority to change it. I hope for all their customers sakes that they have corrected this aberrant behavior in windows 7 or beyond. I gave up on windows (except through a VM for rare occasions) after barely becoming proficient with Vista. This means that all windows 7/8/RT/”insert rubbish here” using family and friends will have to figure stuff out on their own. I do mac and linux. Don’t need unstable operating systems.
With the advent of Noahs Ark being built in the Netherlands, I’d say building a castle is entirely possible. Who wants to help?
