When I wrote Go Away - Snow, I was thinking that this was my ode to winter weather. However, we are experiencing a storm of blizzard proportions. The high winds, combined with the snow, are causing the problems. Trees and limbs (trees again, not human) are coming down and anything not tightly fastened (this could be human) is tumbling. It was quite a challenge getting winter blankets on the horses in the wind. By the time I had one end secured, the other end was coming up to meet me. I brought most of them into the stalls for the night … (6 comments)

Jonathan Tyrrell was trapped in a burning furniture store, speaking on the phone to the fire department dispatcher who told him help was on the way.

Shortly after, he was rescued. However, in the same building a group of 9 firefighters were cut off from their escape route and called "Mayday" to dispatchers. Soon the firefighters realized that they could not be rescued. … (15 comments)

I do not know where I got this recipe from so my apologies to someone for not being able to give them credit.
