I got so much done yesterday after work that even sleeping for 8 hours didn’t seem enough. I finished raking and scooping up the gallons upon gallons of shredded pine cones (courtesy of the squirrels) from the yard. I mowed. And mowed. And got covered in dirt. It hasn’t been as wet lately so we […]

I’ve always loved cars. There are the basic benefits they give us: The ability to efficiently and quickly move across town or across the country, to connect with friends and family, and to aid in national commerce (through trucking).

Scorching Temperatures
Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 · Comments Off on Scorching Temperatures
We’ve seen some record heat this week, with temperatures here in the Capital Region soaring to 96 degrees yesterday and the heat index — once you add the humidity — making it feel like 108 degrees. I caught the treemometer displaying about 92 degrees yesterday afternoon (keep in mind it’s on a tree that’s mostly […]
