Waiting for Warmer Weather

By Kirk M | Published March 31, 2008

From a trip I made to Barre, VT last year to take care of some family business. There’s no highway to take you from Newport, VT to Barre so it’s scenic back roads the whole way and I always take my old Kodak digital "point and shoot" with me since it’s best at landscape [...]

If your wondering why I haven’t really been posting much or bothering my favorite sites like I usually do, I’ve been dealing with a rather huge leap in my blood sugar level (like off the scale) over the past week or so. This of course messed me up pretty bad and came as a complete [...]

Sending an Oblique Message to China?

By Kirk M | Published March 26, 2008

Four nose cone fuses for intercontinental ballistic missiles were mistakenly shipped to Taiwan supposedly in the Fall of 2006. A mistake that wasn’t found until just very recently so the officials say.

A Quilting We Will Go

By Kirk M | Published March 25, 2008
