Back to that global warming thing… April 30, 2007

We’ll pick back up with the whole global warming thing today, and we left off on a very important thought about how the global climate has only ever changed over the course of time. It’s very normal to see fluctuations in temperature, both up and down. What’s alarming over the past century is [...]

An aside… April 27, 2007

OK…before we jump back on the whole global warming thing, let’s talk a little bit about Thursday night. Tornado or not in Brown County, there certainly was some significant damage. I’d just like to point out that warnings were issued well in advance of any threatening weather and fortunately there are no injuries [...]

Global climate change part 1 of ??? April 26, 2007

Okay – so this whole global warming thing…is it out of hand or not? Tough question to answer and I don’t know where we will end up in this series of blogs, but let’s start with laying down some of what we know. There is no question that on a global average, the [...]

Random rambling…and a future direction! April 25, 2007

This is going to sound weird, but it’s something I’ve noticed lately. On Tuesday night the trash goes out in my neighborhood, and by the time I have all the garbage and recyclables and yard waste there’s a healthy pile to be collected. I try to keep it sorted so it’s a little [...]

Perfection! April 24, 2007

I just may be eating the world’s most perfect cookie this morning. I think it’s just the standard Nestle tollhouse recipe with peanut butter and chocolate – chocolate chips. This certainly isn’t the first time my wife has baked cookies, in fact I ask her to whip some up quite often. Something [...]

A big weekend!!! April 23, 2007

It’s easy to be ambitious with a weekend coming up, what you actually have time to get in is usually much less than anticipated. That was – and almost always is – the case for me. While I had a great weekend, I am a little disappointed that I didn’t get everything in [...]

Looking for new things… April 20, 2007

We’ve entered a new phase at home…teething. No – I’m not talking about me myself, but our six month old daughter Sophia. She’s usually such a good-tempered little baby with rarely a complaint. But lately, there are moments, moments where she just can’t be calmed down or fed to ease the discomfort. [...]

I got moles…the animal that is. April 19, 2007

You can;t help but think of that last Austin Powers movie where Fred Savage plays a character with a large mole on his face and completely distracts Austin as they try to talk…Mole…..[IMG]http://images.usatoday.com/life/gallery/austin-powers/mole.jpg[/IMG]
Working on the lawn this week, I’ve never realized what a problem ground moles are around here. What a destructive little animal [...]

Getting a new vehicle…for communication:) April 18, 2007

We have been working on some computer training and installation over the past week and a half, and by the end of the week we should be ready to launch some new graphics. It’s exciting because not only are we really improving our ability to do our job with increased efficiency, the new maps [...]

A sad, sad day. April 17, 2007

It’s really tough to completely comprehend what when on yesterday at the Virginia Tech campus. The stats of 33 dead and 15 injured don’t really sink in with the constant news of continued war casualties in the middle east…but with nearly 50 dead and injured on a college campus – an institution of learning [...]
