The past couple days have been beautiful, a real break from the record bad spring weather we’ve been having. It’s been sunny, with a bit of a cool breeze, but 60 degrees seems like mid summer in Austin compared to the previous few months. Even though there is a 100 pound killer cougar out there, … Read more
Dog Creek Falls is just another place on the side of the road that thousands of people drive by every day without stopping. No cover charge, no entry fee, but you do have to get out of your car and walk a hundred yards or so. Slow down, pull over and have a look.
Looks like it’s animal attack season around here. A few days after being attacked by the neighbor’s crazy Rotweiller, it looks like a cougar has killed a couple sheep. Not baby lambs, but full sized sheep. One sheep was lying next to the electric fence, it didn’t have any teeth marks or blood on it, … Read more

It’s been raining and snowing off and on here for the past week or so, the snow should be tapering off soon, but the rain is probably going … Read more
Everyone is pretty much aware of the terrible earthquake in Japan by now, our thoughts are with our Japanese friends and their families. Devastation on this scale has rarely been seen in modern history. This is such a huge event, as I am typing this blog entry, small tsunami surges are coming ashore in Washington … Read more
I’ve lived 9800′ in the Colorado Rockies and worked at 13,000′, skied and boarded at most resorts in the continental USA, so I’ve seen a little bit of snow. In the past couple days, we’ve had at least three feet of snow in thirty six hours. That’s a pretty good amount of snow, no matter … Read more
