We've had a little snow so far ... in fact, Marquette, MI ... somewhat a snow-capital ... set a snow-record (quite a feat) for the most snow that early. But ... here comes the "mother of all blizzards from the Dakota's ... 70 mph winds with at least 10 inches of dry, fluffy snow. IT'S HEADED OUR WAY ... supposedly only very cold, messy, & very miserable!

I've been so bummed about missing the deadline & losing over four years of AOL Journal/virtual diary entries .... PLUS all my numerous web pages. Those were the main reason that I was on AOL. I was there since its birth. NOW ... WHY BOTHER?, well, "Pull up your big-girl panties & go on from here" ... SOON, BUT, NOT YET! I've got so many crucial things going on in my personal & family & financial life that are more important, and very time-consuming ... I WILL BE BACK IN THE GROOVE, EVENTUALLY ... I PROMISE. All this stress definately compounds my back problems ... so, for now ... I'll just not make these entries too important a part of my concerns.

Up here ... in the U.P. ... this is our Yooper-ATM-machine. We get 10 cents per re-cycle can or bottle. You should see the kids getting spending money here!

Meanwhile backatheranch (backatcamp) ... it's too early to feed the deer yet (I wait until the bear have gone to bed ... but, I still have critters going thru the yard. I made the decision NOT to mow my lawn any more; my farmer's eye saw nummie green grass for deer food. Like out West ... they can paw thru th snow to eat it! But ... I see them out there in the middle of the night ... grazing. I know that I made a practical decision (made my back much happier, too).
