Wednesday evening 3/2 the snow started coming down while we were at Ash Wednesday services and dropped about 4 inches overnight! Then on Thursday, it picked up again and maybe a couple more inches!

When I went out to investigate, I had a leak in the pump house basement which made the basement a swimming pool! Just so thankful for Pete Lumsden, Jay Blunt, and Rodney Stordahl for coming to my rescue....

I’m befuddled by the legions of folks complaining about their loss of freedoms. Maybe I’m just naive, but I don’t seem to have lost any. For a third of the year I wander the landscape unfettered, shotgun or rifle in hand, ready to shoot at stuff. That hasn’t changed since I was a kid although I’ve been told nearly all my life that someone is coming to take my guns. I do remember when mail-order firearm sales were prohibited, something to do with JFK’s assassination, I seem to recall. But...
The world news is all talk about Russia invading Ukraine. I truly believe that Putin has lost his mind. I saw a cartoon drawing of Putin and Biden sitting across from each other a few weeks ago. Putin is playing chess while Biden is playing checkers. After what I’ve heard about this invasion, I believe chess is out the window. One of them is playing checkers while the other is playing tiddly-winks. This past weekend a large F3 tornado tore across my home state of Iowa. It was on the ground for over an hour, killing 7, including 2 children. My t...
