Daylight Savings Time

Do your part...save some daylight.

It’s not enough that we have to save Wall Street, all the bankrupt corporations, Greece, the Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse, the Snail Darter, and all the convicted murders on death row, now we have to save daylight too?  When will it all stop?

Trolling

I have been fishing many times, but I have never trolled for helicopters.

Tailgating

Nothing angers me more than a tailgater.

Wine Doesn't Grow on Trees

We have all heard the saying that "money doesn't grow on trees", but have you ever heard the saying "wine doesn't grow on trees"?  Well…me neither.   But if you ever do, I found a tree that irrefutably contradicts that premise.

Last Leaf on the Tree

Nothing is more important than family and friends, surround yourself with both...don't be the last leaf on the tree.

The Horse in the Window

Every once in a while memories from your childhood sneak in and hang around for a while.  I can remember as a kid spending part of the afternoon sitting at the kitchen table doing my homework.  The window was open, the warm breeze blowing the curtains back and forth, and I could hear the other kids playing around the neighborhood.  I so wanted to go join the fun but I was trapped there…stuck inside…doing homework.  In later years I recall sitting in my office looking out at the mountains wishing I could go there but again...I was trapped…stuck inside…working.  When I noticed this horse in the shop window, and studied his face I could almost feel what he seems to be feeling. Good thing it is a carved horse and has no feelings...or does he?

And the Winners Are???

The Catamount Wildland Fire Team (Preston's team) won the fire fighter's division of the Emma Crawford Coffin Race this Saturday.  They also had the fastest time of the day out of all the teams in all divisions in the race.  There were literally thousands of spectators lining the main drag in Manitou to watch the race.  Congratulations to the Catamount team, all their training and hard work paid off.

Happy Halloween Everyone!
