Thanks! And the same to all from me.

We had a lovely Solstice Eve last night, with friends over for dinner, and woke up today to a White Solstice- 8" of fresh powder. I went out this afternoon and shoveled off all our paths- almost 1/4 mile- which kept me warm despite the -12°C temperature. Now the Sun is coming out, and we can look forward to a few days of snowshoeing and horse riding in the snow, before it evaporates away.

My observatory, as seen from my office.

Ann, WOW! You are sumtin else! Even a double toroid for husband and wife to share--IF Robs married, that is. I noticed that bystander's picture doesn't show up unless it is clicked. Ya think that's because He's so -Apathetic

Chris, 8-inches of powdery snow and you're going to use snow shoes

I didn't think anyone would use snow shoes until the snow got to about 1 1/2 to 2 feet, especially powdered snow.

8 inches of powder is plenty for snowshoeing- especially up and down steep hillsides, and after a day or two of compaction. Also, that's 8" on the flats- where it drifts, or in sheltered draws, it might be a couple of feet deep.

It is rare for us to have more than a foot of snow ever. Most of the winter there is no snow on the ground at all, except under the trees on north slopes and in some draws.

Oh my!, Ann, as the tap-dancing 'new kid on the block' I am just blown away by your message, thank you so much! . . . and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and everyone else the very best for the festive season.

What is the first image of? It is not showing up on my screen here, just a circle, a triangle, and a square on the upper left of the picture window.

Geez, Beyond

I spend only two minutes away from my computer and see that message that you posted. Anyway, thanks for helping.

Hey TNT, 2-things----timing and dumb luck. Did you get to see the first picture?

TNT · Post by **TNT** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 5:42 am

Yes, and I'm assuming that it's representing the Apathetic Retiree?

It would seem so, but i don't think that he is all that innocent

Thanks, Ann. Happy Holidays, to you also, and to everyone.

I didn't do it. I am innocent, I tell you.
