Ice returned this morning. Sprinkled with a dusting of icy snow. Looks like powdered sugar on some dark chocolate and peanut butter cake. I don't like peanut buttered cake or flavored stuff, although I like peanuts and peanut butter, and I do not object to it visually. This little bit of snow will be gone by the end of the day. The ice will be gone too. But its only April and we could still have feet of snow ahead of us for the season. I'm off to give an opinion on the materials in an old farm house that has been through a fire. Poker face in hand I'll probably make some profound statement like...sure looks like fire damage to me. Its hard for me to take money seriously and money is the only thing that interests anyone about this building now. Even my motives are not as pure as they were in an earlier life. Kind of like that icy snow out there. Its snow, but you don't boast about it. -jc On Saturday, April 5, 2003, at 12:48 AM, Ruth Barton wrote: > We're getting a bit of "poor man's manure" here right now.
