January 2011

Wow, it has been a while since anything was posted to this ole blog. Excuses are often weak attempts to justify laziness. In my case that is partically true. I have experience computer issues comparable to Mount St Helens and the San Francisco earthquake and fire. However, if I was more patient and less prone to blow things off I would have continued to blog.

I owe several entries in the adventures of Zeke McNamara, fishing stories and how too. I will try to do better and we we all know the road to.........is paved with good intentions.

Lots of things are going on here on Schooner Creek. Today were are suffering through one of the worst snow storms in Missouri history. According to the news we have not seen this kind of "Blizzard" conditions since 1912. Now how they know that is beyond me. In 1912, weather people relied on things like looking out a window, calling someone way west to see how thier weather was, watching animals and insects. My mom says that if you catch a flock of birds sitting on a witre or fence it means its going to rain or snow. I always figured they were just tired. Or if a catapillar has hair longer than 1/2 inch it means its going to be a bad winter. Or my favorite if you break open a persimmon seed and the center looks like a snow shovel you are in for a lot of snow. Todays weather folks have computers with applications that track a storm days in advance. They get all excited when they get to interupt your favorite show to tell you its raining 75 miles away. Not only that if it's a storm they are telling folks what to do... like "Abandon your Mobile Homes !" Seems like I've always found that if its a bad storm one of the first things that go is the electric and battery tv is just not popular.

Anyway, I am going to make an attempt to be better at this, look for the next chaper on Deputy Zeke in a day or two.

Live from Schooner Creek this is ole mikey reporting that its a snowin hard.
