Last weekend brought another storm in, which dumped enough snow to make up for what melted just a day before! I have been shocked by the lack of kids in the streets taking advantage of the days off school, especially with the inspiration of the Winter Olympics.
It was 1962, and snow was busting out of the sky. I headed out with it in my hands. It was a battered and beat wooden Flexible Flyer, with rusty looking blades. The old man said be careful, but that was like not saying anything to us boys! Those were the days when snow was a friend, and mother nature was our playground. I will never forget that first day that the Old Man let me fly, and that is exactly what I did!
Sports Update:
Our own Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal for Team Canada in the Olympics! I don't know whether to say "Go Sid the Kid" or "YOU SUCK!" It is very confusing, leaving me in conflict on this one!
The USA scored a new Winter Olympic record 37 medals overall!
Local Military News:
Thousands of active-duty military dependents were seriously shortchanged by the Defense department. They shut down the program, The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts/or MyCAA, were suspended due to heavy participation! Apparently over 98,000 participants were signed up and in classes, with over 38,000 more signing up as well! It is something not expected for the Defense Department to do to the dependents of active duty military who are at risk to earn these privileges! I seriously hope they sort this out for the dependent's sake. The more education they have, the more they can do to support their families back here at home!

This winter has been nasty, and I got in 3 rides during Febuary! These are one of such.

One of the local weather prognosticators the other day said that he had gone back over his charts and graphs and that counting today we have had exactly five days during which the sun shined for the entire day since January 1st of 2010. We all await the arrival of spring this year.
