Good morning Boys and Girls!

Well now. I didn't think I'd be writing a post this morning. Thought I'd work this morning and write one tomorrow. Lined up work and everything...

And God said, "Let it snow like CRAZYYYYYYYYYY"

Okay.

I can take the hint. Driving would be nuts. We're expecting up to three feet around here and a good foot has fallen already. I can tell from the new build-up in the deer feeder I made last week that was SUPPOSED to protect the feed from the white stuff, giving a deer an easy snack even in weather like this.

Well, let me say that my design failed miserably. Snow goes sideways when it likes.

So? -write a post instead.

Along with all the other devastation in Florida the other day, I just heard that 18 whooping cranes were found dead in their enclosure. Too bad. According to the news, that leaves 63.

Today, an old friend of mine turns fifty. He's a pastor in Skokie, North of Chicago. When I was in High School, he, I and another friend of ours spent a lot of time together. At the time we attended the same Church, where we were all quite involved. We all talked about going into the ministry. I'm proud to say that two out of three of us did.

I, faithful reader, am the lone holdout.

Sounds like the title of a Western! I can hear the theme music, can't you? Who'd play me? Clint Eastwood? No... no...

I got it!

Lee Marvin. Perfect.

"He travels the West, alone but for his story; one he tells too often and much too loudly..."

"Well, see, my faith just wasn't up to snuff. I believed in God, but the whole miracle thing, and the resurrection? I just didn't buy it, plus, I never heard "the calling," you know? So when push came to shove..."

And gunshots ring out from across the cavern, then a shout from a long way off, "SHUT THE HELL UP! WE DON'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT YOUR STUPID STORY. JUST GO AWAY!"

So, he rolls up his blanket, saddles his llama, and moves on, wishing he had the courage, at long last, to either shout back, or quit telling the boring tale to every cactus willing to listen...

Oh... amid the dozens of other closings and postponed activities around here being announced by the crawling text at the bottom of the T.V. screen due to the weather?

Snow camp has been cancelled.




Be good to everyone.
