Coldest yet

Yeah, so that pic over there, it seems to becoming an annual tradition. Last year was -2 I believe, year before that was about the same. I’m not sure what the actual temp was today where I was, but I listened to NOAA a few times in the early afternoon and Madison was at -7. [...]

Chicks

Not that kind, but rather the small feathery kind. Came in this morning to a rather large note on my case that simply said “Chicks on dock”. Much laughing was had at its ambiguity, but really it meant that instead of them chirping away at my case for the next 2 hours that I should [...]

Names

I’ve been meaning to do this for quite some time, but I wanted to start a catalog of all the awesome names I’ve seen come through the mail. So here’s a backlog of ones I remember and some I’ve written down. More to come as I see them. Zelda Klouda Rommel Lightning Maverick Crowder Ellsworth [...]

It’s not the heat, it’s the…

dew point. Today just proved that I’d rather have a 0 degree day over today’s madness of 75-80 degrees, with 80-90% humidity and a dew point of 73 degrees. In other words, it was a sauna. It also stormed a couple times, which did nothing in the way of relief except make me unable to [...]

The squirrel trilogy

On Saturday, I saw the squirrel again. Once again, it was the same area, this time on yet another tree right across the street from the second tree, which was across the street from the first tree. If you have a severe aversion to cuteness, turn back now. 28 pictures, 1 video, and the most [...]

update

Well, the robin tried to attack me and I found the baby squirrel on the tree across the street. So I guess he lived. I damn near about walked into him on the ground before I saw him sitting there only about 5 feet away from me. Funny thing is that he didn't see me [...]

25,532

That number up there, 25,532, is big. What it represents is the amount of steps I take on my route. Ok, not my route, but the route I’m still filling in on. Yeah, I said I’d quit it when Ted came back and began casing mail again, which in turn cut my hours. But truth [...]

hawk?

So, I got a new camera last week because my ancient one bit the dust finally. It's not a great camera by any means, but it had a couple features that sold me in an instant. Shockproof from a 5' drop, waterproof to 10' and it doesn't have a funky rubberized, bulky casing to it. [...]

Robins and more!

Well, wouldn't you know it. The first technical day of spring and I see a robin finally. Last year I wrote that I saw them first on February 20th. That was last year, which was a whole different beast than this year. It's almost as if they were like the bears that Lewis Black ranted [...]

nice prank

I love seeing what people sign up for under some funny name to see if it they actually get it. The latest was a very clever stab at someone, or at least it had to be, that had me laughing for a long time and rates right up there with Phuck Ewe delivered to the [...]
