Tales of Newport, Vermont and the doings of me, my honey and our 3 cats.

Ever want to hang a cat?

Being the kind of person who is forced to take prescription medications for various ailments, one of which I consider the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in a tiny blue pill, the time of day is often very critical due to the effects/side effects of certain medications.

Never buy a laptop from a hardware store.

Well, wasn’t last night’s post just full of cheerfulness? Must have had a bad case of the uglies going on to come up with something like that.
It’s a better day today though. I get to beat on someone else’s laptop. I always enjoy doing this especially when I get blanket permission from the victim owner [...]

Snow Video for Kate

A couple of posts ago I was bellyaching about the week past and the fact we had a snow storm on a Monday that we really needed to happen for the weekend. Instead it rained from Friday through Sunday.
