Renee Nelson — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:09:12 +0000

Last day of winter was a snowy one. What else does one do on a snowy day? Yep, let the dogs “talk” you into going to the Augusta Dog Park. Shadow and I picked up our friend Ripley and off we went. We all had a good time running around chasing each other. Thanks Ripley and Shadow for playing with me! I need my exercise.

Blizzard Nemo or not…the dog needed to out. So, we did. Here are a few shots from my driveway and the front of my house in Augusta. The house faces north so we get some ‘interesting’ designs from the snow when the wind blows. Sorry, no ShadowDog in the snow pictures, it’s too darn cold, [...]

The commute on the way into Augusta today from Auburn at around 10 a.m. wasn’t too bad at least the roads were okay. The visibility was a bit of an issue but over all I made it in about an hour just slightly longer than the usual 45-50 minutes it takes me to get to or from.

Ummm, Why Is This Blizzard Named 'Nemo'?

Mike Higgins — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:10:50 +0000

As we wait for the latest storm of the century to bear down on Maine, I am left to contemplate the fact that this huge storm is named after A DISNEY FISH? Seriously, people at the Weather Channel have gone a bit too far with this one, naming winter storms as if they were hurricanes. [...]
