Google SketchUp

My friend just kicked me this link; this is the way the internet should be used. Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm right on the precipice of something huge; I can see myself talking to my grandkids (okay, I don't have kids, I don't even have a wife; but there's always hope) years from now and they'll ask "gramps, what was life like when you were a kid". And that's when I draw a deep breath, hitch up my depends, cock my head skyward, sigh and let them have it!!! Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy-dancy chips in our heads that we used to communicate w/our friends and family. We had something called a "telephone".

Of course, by the time I started w/"back in my day", they'll have lost interest, popped their favorite TV show (they'll be in new and improved gel capsules--ie, yo man, last night, I swallowed the newest episode of "Everybody Hates Chris"; that's the funniest 90 year old in pill form today!!!) and left me to talk to myself for two hours about how kids have it so good now a days.

Hurumph!

Shoveling. Snow. Saints!

The last eight days have truly been the stuff of legends!  First, the snow on Friday!  As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alexandria, VA.  Aside from the four years that I served in the Army, I've spent roughly 32 years of my life in the familiar surroundings of traffic, traffic and more traffic.  That being said, I have NEVER EVER seen anything like this.  One could make the argument that there was the blizzard of '96...but I was still in Georgia at the time so technically, this is a first for me.  I gotta say, I love snow.  Not the shoveling, but the sound of snow falling; so quiet, so serene.  Truly a thing a beauty...and the fact that I missed several days of work because of it doesn't hurt.  I also didn't miss the fact that we lost approximately 20 hours of power in the first 48 hours of said snow storm.  Honestly, I didn't mind it so much.  We lost power at 10PM which conveniently became bed time!  You'd be amazed at how tired you suddenly feel...
