So much to clear

Maybe we didn’t get the two feet top end the weather folks had warned me about when we were heading into the storm that came to our neck of the world last weekend. No matter the final count. When I went out front of A Bitty Better in our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool on Sunday…

And it’s still coming down

The TV weather folks are telling me this Sunday morning that we’ve gotten 8 to 12 inches. We can expect another 4 to 5 inches as we go about our business around Syracuse, N.Y., this Sunday in late January, 2019. How much did we get, exactly, since I cleared everything off Saturday around A Bitty…

Before the big snowfall

With all of the weather forecasts telling me we were in for as much as two feet of snow between 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, I decided it would be a good time to take stock of how the front and back looked at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville…

The Kingdom may be falling, but these Jurassics carry a World of fight

In the fifth(!) installment of the movie series first adapted 28(!!) years ago from Michael Chrichton’s forward- and backward-thinking novel Jurassic Park, the island set aside for the dinosaurs is threatened by a volcano. Those roaming that piece of now isolated former amusement park land are therefore headed for extinction. Humankind is left debating whether…
