Brrrrr! We set a new record low temperature here overnight. Officially, they’re saying it got down to -11, but the weather thingy in my browser was showing -14 at 3:30am, just before I decided to crawl under my blankets. At any rate, I was inspired by the following image, a copy of which was posted over on Tacky Raccoons…
Having been awakened at 5am by you know what (even after the treatment on Tuesday!), I’ll admit that I’m not exactly in a “festive” mood. But I am up, with time on my hands, and nothing better to do. So I thought I’d throw a little something together to celebrate the start of the New Year. Besides, I’m still a sentimental fool at heart, who just can’t seem to stop believing in a better tomorrow.
Here’s hoping the New Year will bring far less to depress us, and far more to make us smile. Of course if that doesn’t work out, you can always do what I do: Keep looking up! 😀
OMG, this one looks like a real winner! 
As an Air Force veteran and “Spacehead,” the fact that my desktop slideshow includes lots of “flight-related” images will probably come as no surprise to anyone. The thing is though, while I was reading the How WWI Shaped Modern Air Supremacy article over on LiveScience, it wasn’t those images that immediately popped into my head…
Had to do a major cleaning inside my PC earlier today, after the noises my processor cooling fan was making became disturbing enough to force my hand. Mind you, this happened only days after my son’s much newer PC completely crapped out on him and, well, you know, my hunk-o-junk does have a history too…
I had actually planned to include some of these images in my previous post. Unfortunately, deciding when I’ve had enough proved to be as difficult as closing a big bag of my favorite chips… They’re as irresistible as gravity man! 
I was so taken by the images that my friend Rincewind reblogged from the KlímtBaLan blog that I decided to go directly to their source and grab these awesome images as well. Wow! 🙂
Okay. I’ve been hurting real bad lately. So I decided I’d do one of those ‘reflections’ posts, just to express some of the thoughts I have in between the moans and groans. But then the painkillers kicked in…
These thunderstorm videos are just scary cool. But rest assured, Fall is definitely on it’s way…
I Want Ice Water!
