Woodshed version 2.0





My father has built the fanciest woodshed that I have seen recently. I think he has too much time on his hands! It is about 8 x 20, and matches the house and barn as far as the log cabin look. It even has a metal roof on it.

Missing Out




Despite the dusting of snow on this past Sunday, the forecast for this coming Friday-Sunday is for highs to be in the mid to upper 70's. This can only mean one thing....time for canoeing and camping!

Unfortunately, I can't make the trip on the Oconee River with friends because the trip will include some days that I have to work.

Darn that pesky job is getting in the way of my fun again!

Wild Weather




Ok, so who can figure out this crazy weather. On Saturday, the high was 73 degrees and there were tornado warnings in the adjacent county, and the very next day (yesterday), we had an inch of snow on the ground here at my house, and up to 5 inches in some places. I can't wait to see what today will bring!

Actually, the snow wasn't that heavy and it didn't freeze up on the roads too much, so school probably could have gone on; but I suppose it is best to play it safe. Afterall, people down here in the South get snow so rarely, that they just do not know how to drive on ice, nor does the county have the equipment to clear the roads and bridges of ice.

No school tomorrow!

I just got a call from the Superintendent of the Bibb County School District (my boss), and she has decided that with the snow that fell today, and the freezing temperatures tonight...to cancel school tomorrow. Of course, I will have to go on in and shutdown the schools' HVAC systems for the day, but it still should make it only a 1/2 day for me.....maybe!

Altered Courthouses


I was playing around with some images, and ended up with two highly altered images. The first is of the county court- house and the second is of the federal court- house in Macon, GA
