Wednesday, 2:00 pm: It’s a nice day outside. It started out partially cloudy and now it is completely overcast. More importantly, it snowed last night. Yes sir, that right, snow! The light dusting even lasted until this morning when the temperature rose above 32 (F.).

I’ve ordered some more wonderful add-on gadgets for my ham radio. On the 29th is my birthday, so I got the green light from my wife this is my birthday present. I was afraid I’d end up with new handkerchiefs and t-shirts if I didn’t speak up. My sister in Chandler Arizona sent me some of her homemade fudge. If I was diabetic I would have been in a coma for a week now, and if I were still a teenager my face would have looked like a mine field.

Yesterday we had a large cow moose across from our house. I took a few digital photographs of it shooting though our plastic storm windows. The photos didn’t turn out good shooting through clear plastic, so I deleted them. Microchips can do a lot, but they can’t correct for a not too bright operator [me!]. But really there was a moose there!
