Thoughts On A Sunday

BeezleBub returned from the WP In-Laws today, his last day of February vacation. To say he wasn't pleased to be home would be an understatement. It wasn't that he dislikes us or home rather than it meant he couldn't work on his Jeep for another month or so and that has to go back to school. (He likes learning, he just doesn't like his high school and particularly all the adolescent drama that consumes too much of the day.)

One American import British citizens appear to be embracing? Tea Parties.

US Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) believes the US economy is heading for a major collapse within the next 5 to 7 years unless some major changes are made in regards to the government's unsustainable spending.

Unfortunately I must wholeheartedly agree with him.

Bogie gives us a report on her snowstorm experiences. She also includes some photos, showing the snowfall and the high water aftermath.

Skip Murphy has found that US Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has discovered a heretofore unknown Right in the United States Constitution.

It never ceases to amaze me how many unwritten 'rights' our Democrat leaders have found in the Constitution over the years, even those that fly in the face of the actual enumerated Rights found there.

David Starr reminds us that second hand stuff can be pretty good, particularly if the price is right, and that sometimes second hand stuff is better than new stuff.
Call it Yankee frugality.

Al Gore attempts to rehabilitate Anthropogenic Global Warming, trying to ignore or minimize the scientific fraud committed at the CRU.

During my return trip from picking up BeezleBub from the WP In-Laws I noticed quite a few trucks towing bobhouses away from the lake. (A bobhouse is a small shack set up on the ice to provide shelter while ice fishing.) With the weird weather we've been experiencing - snow, rain, high winds, and warm daytime temps - the ice on the lakes has been melting, making it necessary to remove bobhouses before the ice gets too thin to venture out to get them. Such a thing usually occurs in mid to late March.

And that's the (abbreviated) news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where the weather is schizophrenic, the ice is getting thinner, and the woodpiles are getting smaller.
