This morning we got out of the house to survey the storm mess.  I took some photos this morning to see some of the ice.  As you can see this picture was taken looking directly into the front door of the house.  I knew I better take this photo first thing in the morning because [...]

We had Cox High Speed Internet installed a couple months ago and at first the performance was outstanding.  After about a month my Internet started dropping constantly to a point that it was really getting on my nerves.  It was very strange because it was not losing connection completely but only the web.  I could [...]

On January 28, 2010 we started off the morning dry and cold.  Before long the rain moved in and the temperature dropped.  By 10:00 AM the boss had decided to send everyone home because the roads were getting icy.  It took us a whole hour to get from our parking lot to the gate to [...]
