bayside, east northport, maine
a panoramic photo i shot during our trip to maine last month.
il kept freakin' neiging
so, i spent about 5 hours shoveling today, between our driveways and walks, plus the driveway at the house where we’ve been storing our extraneous vehicle(s). i still like snow better than rain. slightly.
il neige!
yes, i remembered something from high school french. it’s 24 degrees F and snowing in Manchester.
feeds change
just a note: since i changed CMS systems, the address for the RSS feed has changed. i recently implemented a permanent redirect, but for future reference, the new RSS URL is: /feed/
trying offline editing, again
so, i’m trying an offline blogging tool again. i’ve recently purchased TextMate – a really great code editor for Mac OS X. it turns out TextMate has a “Blogging” bundle that i can use to push new posts to my blogs. all b’zillion of them. let’s see if it works — if you’re reading this, […]
beer sunday

Mt. Washington in Autumn
this past Sunday, we decided to partake in some recreation, New England style. we drove up to Mt. Washington, in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains.
the day started with bagels and a nice drive through Goffstown and Dunbarton. when we reached I-93, we were nearly run off the road several times by careless drivers from New Jersey. welcome to leaf-peeping season in New England!
new neighbors
was working on the new office today when i saw the mounted officers coming down the street. was enough to garner a bit of curiosity. the event? they opened the new police sub-station kitty corner across the street this afternoon.
manch vegas?
so, i finally found (after remembering to look for) an explanation of this “manch vegas” stuff.
it doesn’t make me more of a fan. i did chuckle at the idea of “manchhattan” however. (perhaps manchalo?)
urban dictionary expands the definition to explain that manchester is full of wannabes, malls, and a barely acceptable substitute for night-life. personally, i would just call that “America.”
