Cool(er)

A/C is in the window...

...let the summer continue.

Sooooo Good

I worked 9-3, then went food shopping (Chumble needed dry food and I needed fruits & veggies).

I decided to buy some beer since I haven't had any in my house since late 2014, and hadn't drunk one since I hit the Gardner Ale House with Jay back in January.

So I snagged a growler of Opa-Opa IPA. The first sniff sent me back to summer island trips to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. And the fact that I have been eating super-healthy for many months now, and haven't drunk much, has rendered me a bit loopy from just one pint!

Gooooood beer.

Seriously?

April Snow:

2015 Bucket List

Things I'd like to get done in 2015:

• Visit Cuttyhunk and/or Nantucket.
• Hike Mount Monadnock and/or Mt. Washington.
• Visit Jason & family in California.
• Get paid for artwork.
• Sell a big chunk of my comic book collection for a big chunk of money.

Snow Snow Snow

We have had several snowstorms (Marcus, Neptune, Octavia, Pandora) over the last few weeks, adding to the total ground cover of snow, which currently stands at 6½ FEET.

And to top things off, yesterday I woke up to a broken water main, my street shut down, and later, the gas main ruptured. So I spent until 6 pm with no water, and until 8 pm with no gas for cooking/heat/hot water. And the gas heat only stayed on for 2 hours until it conked out again.

I need a house with a well and wood heat... Come on, lottery! :Þ

Winter Storm: Juno

Door imprint!

Yeah, that's right: 2 FEET of snow so far.

Winter Storm: Iola

I had today off, so I was affected only positively by the 7 inches of snow I received from Winter Storm Iola.

The top of my city-issued trash bin.

Wooden chair and icemelt bucket.

I shoveled in anticipation of the plowing to come.
The snow was light, so it took less than ten minutes.
