We were missing the snow so much yesterday that we drove all the way to the top of Blacktail Mountain to celebrate Marlene’s 39th birthday (again).
Winter Cars
No repeat of the previous winter’s “last vehicle on the rental lot” heady red convertible post-midlife-crisis muscle-car (that I was forced to take). So it is back to my slow ubiquitous earth-friendly eco-mobile.
But I might have the only Montana plates in Florida, which probably explains why the other drivers still give me a wide berth.
It Is Cold And My Snow Shovel Is Broken
A Craftsman “designer” duffel bag full of summer clothes, beach chairs, an iPod, sandals, Ray-Bans, sunscreen, Thomas McGuane’s The Longest Silence: A Life In Fishing, and a bottle of “bottom shelf” rum (just in case the book is no good). Fully accessorized.
Turning off the lights and heading south.
Merry Christmas to all!
Winter Solstice Soon
3:45 in the afternoon—one day shy of winter solstice—and it almost looks like sunset.
This is a capture from the webcam of The Raven Bar across the lake.
A Fine Day To Land On Mars
Not that the two are related, but it is looking like a fine day to land on Mars.
UPDATE: It sounds like NASA pulled off the impossible again — a successful Mars landing that necessitated a whole lot of things going right. Despite the onslaught of daily negative news, these are exciting times to be alive, IMHO.
Slip Slidin’ Away
Nothing says winter in the north country like a shiny new set of sheet-metal-screw boot cleats. They make you feel all secure in an otherwise slippery world.
