The Sky Is Falling !

Well, at least parts of it . . .
The sky often has a lot of water in it.
When it has way too much water, it rains.
When the air is cold enough, that rain can become snow. Here in Huntsville, we have had LOTs of rain this week, enough to elevate concern for flooding on several rivers, large creeks and even the Tennessee River was a concern in places. But here in North Alabama, flooding is common enough to not panic.
BUT then, the forecast includes sub-freezing temperatures and that scary word “snow“.
OMG, WTF, etc… You would think the sky was gonna fall .!.

Well, the sky fell today – and there was a wide-spread panic. Continue reading

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,900 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that many views.

Oh How I Miss Her…
I always will.  She is such a huge part of who I am. I will never be the same.
I am forever in her debt, and will remember her forever. My Mother.
We all will miss her greatly – I know, it’s not just me.

I told her to not worry over us – we will be fine I said   . . . .  You taught us well.

She was preparing to board that last cruise ship, headed for the tropics.
She left on the last day of hurricane season,
maybe there would be that one last storm…
I can see her in the sun, on deck with her Mom & Dad, and so many friends…
- just eatin shrimp, and sippin Margaritas . . . . . . . . .
- – - enjoying the tradewinds, and the sunset.

No hurry, no worries, no fears or tears.    Just relax and enjoy.
We will all catch up – and sit with yall before too long, don’t wait for us.
I love you Mom.

MakersLocal256 OpenHouse

In celebration of November 11, 2011 (20111111) – the fine folks at Makers Local 256 in Huntsville decided to have an Open House. My good friend Scott was to be cooking gumbo for this event, and invited me to come visit. This is a collaborative learning workspace, and has become quite active. I had been meaning to check it out for some time now, so I could not pass this opportunity. I took my camera and have now finally posted this gallery . . .
Thanks for the GUMBO /;^)
