Scenes from this year's [annual] Spring snowstorm.













And finally, the first high-wire act of the season.

Not Yet Spring Break

Campus preparations for Spring Break next week. We're ready already!

07:45 AM - Walking up the hill before class.











Looks to me like North America between the clouds.

09:15 AM - Back down the hill after class.

Learning Foundation

Pouring (pumping) the concrete for the Learning Resource Center at FRC.

On the Board

If it's happening, it's on the Bulletin Board.

Pound Puppies

Beanie Baby puppies riding shotgun on the dash.

Road-tripers

One of two three-wheelers, but I wasn't fast enough to get them both.

May Luv WY, but Springing in Q-topia.

No More

No more dry cleaning at the Dry Cleaning Co.
In fact there is now no dry cleaner in the county. The owners have been trying to sell the business in order to retire. The wife, who did the dry cleaning, finally did quit so now its only a laundry. If you want to buy a business that has no competition and a captive customer base, give them a call.

No lumber or supplies here.

No neighbor-loving here;

they silenced both community radio and the oldies station.

Winter Blooms

Snowdrops and daffy daffodils from a month ago.

Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows

I lied about the lollipops - more like slushdrops.
But you can see that you could have a Ski Party above 4000 feet.

Robins

It's January 30, why are there robins all around?

Dozens of them!

I do recall hearing a news story some weeks ago saying some study had shown that robins do not actually migrate very far. Instead it said that they seclude themselves in sheltered wooded areas where they can find food, stay undercover, and try to remain aloof from predators etc. Maybe bogus, maybe not; but their sudden emergence would seem to support it.

All the precip we have had followed by a few days of warmish (40°) weather caused a couple of foolish bulbs to pop, and a bleeding-heart in the backyard to send up some tentative shoots. (I put a shovel-full of snow on it.) Maybe all that water forced the earthworms to the surface, and the reclusive robins couldn't resist a mid-winter feast.

(Sorry about the photo quality, but the camera on my Moto Droid sucks, imho.)

Jackson at Coburn

Looking NE across Jackson. The Library has the blue roof.

Turn 180, look over the fence into the Museum's backyard.

On Main

Sloopee hangin' on at the Carey Candy Co.
(Yes, I know it's Sloopy - I was a sophomore in college and living in Ohio when this was it;
but the license plate is SLOOPEE.)
