How Time Flies!
Yikes! Three weeks since I last blogged!

WELL, I BEEN BUSY, NYA-AH!

Thinking, mostly. Being apprehensive about taxes. Did you know death settlements from insurance are NOT taxable? Well, I didn't, either. I'm actually getting money back from the state and feds; that hasn't happened for some years now. Next year...?

Vikki died just over a year ago(02-18-2005), I went down to 9 Mile Creek Saturday(-26 wind chill) to pour her a libation(Jameson). When I reached the mill dam, I got a real shock. There was a column of frozen froth about 8-9 inches across and just under seven FEET tall! I wished I had my camera, but I didn't...so I made another trip Sunday. The column had tipped a bit and had lost about a foot in height, but was still quite impressive. Ask me to show you the pix - Awesome! I've never seen the like. Quite literally, an Ephemeral Memorial. I couldn't have asked for more and I get tears just thinking about it.
