    • Well, once again proof it's impossible to underestimate the intelligence of the public. Remember the fantasy/farce we had about the snowballs? I just heard on the news: some dingbat in Connecticut who doesn't have his normal snow, bid $200 on Ebay for three Colorado snowballs. Who says you couldn't sell Christmas snow in Beverly Hills?

    • Best laid plans and all. Since we've had several cold days now, I decided this was my chance to get the firewood I had cut and stacked down in the woods, before the weather warmed up and the ground thawed. So Bubba and I fearlessly went down, down to the piles. The bare patches above with water still running down should have been a clue, as should the deep ruts I cut by getting too far out of the tracks.

      The pile was all frozen together, but no match for my awe-inspiring karate kicks...

    • Our forefathers endured great hardship and considerable danger to come to this land to be free of tyrants. They drafted a constitution, fought a war, and gave their lives to secure the rights and freedoms we have made the cornerstone of our country. Rights and freedoms that the current jackass in the White House declares null and void with the stroke of a pen. So now along with intercepting and monitoring our electronic media, and tapping our phones at will, he declares he can read our mail...

    • Whatever palms were crossed, whatever pressure was applied, whatever threats were made, whatever covert operations were carried out, whatever secret meetings transpired, whatever deals were consummated, we are now back on Google, and in the number one spot. ROGER IS BACK TO NUMBER TWO, WHERE HE BELONGS.

    • I maintain that astronomically the new year should begin with the solstice, but for all of you calendar slaves, it is now official for you, too. May 2007 be better in every respect than 2006. I am home while Melody works (again), having been cancelled again. We are required to sign up for one winter and one summer holiday, so we shorten or cancel plans accordingly only to be cancelled at work.

      We will have been in the house two years as of February, and we still haven't unpacked all...
