For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what me may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

In a not unexpected turn of events, it snowed today. Naturally, the camera dragged me out into the street to take pictures. Here's what the view up and down my street looked like while it was snowing…

Of course, we've got our Christmas decorations out. Here they are…

It thought it was a bit funny… The snow globe was covered in snow.


Update:

For a while the snow went away, but this evening it came back with a vengeance. The snowman shorted out and died.

Oh well. We've had it for four years and it's seen a lot. We'll replace it after the holidays.


I took some video of the snowfall too.

That's right, "2006 Christmas Challenge". I know it's 2007, but my sister-in-law sent this to me in email. I managed to get all but number 5…

Following is the 2006 edition of Christmas Challenge.  See how many song titles you can get.

  1. Oh, member of the round table with missing areas
  2. Boulder of the tinkling metal spheres
  3. Vehicular homicide was committed on Dad's mom by a precipitous darling
  4. Wanted in December: forward incisors
  5. The apartment of two psychiatrists
  6. The lad is diminutive percussionist
  7. Sir Lancelot with laryngitis
  8. Decorate the entryways
  9. Cup-shaped instruments fashioned of whitish metallic elements
  10. Oh small Israel urban center
  11. Far off in a hay bin
  12. We are Kong, Lear, and Nat Cole
  13. Duodecimal enumeration of the passage of the yuletide season
  14. Leave and broadcast from an elevation
  15. Our fervent hope is that you thoroughly enjoy your yuletide season
  16. Listen, the winged heavenly messengers are proclaiming tunefully
  17. As the guardians of the woolly animals protected their charges in the dark hours
  18. I beheld a trio of nautical vessels moving in this direction
  19. Jubilation to the entire terrestrial globe
  20. Do you perceive the same vibrations which stimulate my auditory sense
  21. A joyful song of reverence relative to hollow metallic vessels which vibrate and bring forth a ringing sound when struck
  22. Parent was observed osculating a red-coated un-shaven teamster
  23. May the Deity bestow an absence of fatigue to mild male humans
  24. Rose-colored uncouth dolf is aware of the nature precipitation, darling

How many can you get?
