I have found
it hard to find computer time lately because of the weather. I am a winter person and I like the
hardships that a northern winter can pose, because it reminds me that I could
be a shit speck in a compost pile as far as nature is concerned.
Winter is
the time we enjoy kicking back, heating with the wood stove, reading, computing
and occasionally making love – if I get lucky.
But:
We had
fourteen-inch snow storm that turned to sleet and rain at the end, followed a
few days later by a twenty-hour rain storm with a high of fifty degrees,
followed by temps dropping into the twenties during the day and single numbers
at night. This has left us with a single
lane ice road leading to our house, bordered by three feet high Ice walls. This is not the normal western Maine weather
pattern for this time of year.
I am hoping for a TV series: The Ice Road Fucker.
Between moving
snow, hauling buckets of sand, and supplying our wood stove, and our normal
activities, I have been busy.
So, trying
to get back to a Zen frame of mind I will post another Zen post.
