SNOW

5.1 inches of snow last night   0.68 inches of precipitation.AlfalfaWe are kicking butt in total precipitation compared to the last few years.  The farmers are saying this has been a near perfect winter with snow on the ground for most of the season.  The big worry now is if it rains and there is ponding on alfalfa.

I have to pitch to the networks.

I thought of a fantastic new show that I have to pitch to the networks.  It takes place on the Titanic but here is the catch.  Aboard the ill fated liner are all of you favorite characters on TV. You would have the Modern Family group on one deck and they would have all of the funny disaster jokes, maybe the New Girl cast doing goofy things, Nick would tend bar and Winston would be accidentally pogo-ing passengers. On another part of the...

Coyotes

After searching the internet for tracks and prints and sounds I've come to the conclusion that the tracks in my back yard are from Coyotes. The tracks I posted yesterday look exactly like some I saw on the net.  Then yesterday I was shoving my sidewalk and noticed the same tracks in the snow and on the sidewalk was a print which at first I thought was a large dog but going the wrong direction. So searching I find that it looks a LOT like a coyote track. Then  I found this.    Coyote sounds    which...
