Nope… No snow yet.
Forecast has changed: it was a winter storm warning from Noon today until 6PM tomorrow with 5-10 inches possible. Today… it’s 1-2″ possible between midnight and sunrise.
While I realise that forecasting is not an exact science (and I use that word loosely), it actually seem to have gotten worse since the [...]

In one month (about 1 Feb) I will be departing Asheville, after 4.5 years, and moving to Buffalo, NY, in order to be closer to Brodie (closer, that is, by 17 hours drive time).
Your prayers are welcomed. Any help is, as well. I’m staying with a friend-of-a-friend in the short term, and looking [...]
Well, they said maybe 5″ of the white stuff will fall starting at noon (ish) today.
But as off 11 AM, there is nothing but, chilly winds and empty radar in all directions:

Happy New Years!

Well, the grass and trees in the front yard, at least… is well lit. I wish I could take a picture of it: the Full Moon right next to Mars. It’s beautiful up there!
I wish I could take a picture. I’ve tried with my camera as well as my iSight camera and [...]
I shall be stopping at Dunkin Donuts today on the way home from Mass. I’m looking forward to it and it supposed to be “just around the corner” from the Church. I happen to know this is true: it’s about 5 blocks away. But if you go to the Dunkin website to [...]

The recent arrest of my (former) county sheriff on charges of running a protection racket for illegal slot machines… amply explains how bunkum comes from the name of my county.

This is just a Christmas Shopping Rant. Unless you’re a wiccan/pagan, a New Ager (those are not the same, trust me) or a really shallow Christian there are no books for you in Asheville. Or at least very few.
A little about benchmarks: if you have something by Diana Bass, Philis Tickle, [...]

A blessed feast on this day of memory for one of Western North Carolina’s true saints. Deacon Ormonde tells the story of William West Skiles of Valle Crucis:
William West Skiles was born on 12 October 1807 at Hertford, Perquimons County, North Carolina, and came to Valle Crucis in 1844 at the age of [...]

Ash posts a picture of gang graffiti here in Asheville. Asheville has a growing and underreported gang problem. See: we’re the best place in the world to move to and to retire to. We have no gangs or drug problem here. (Although there is this story in the local paper.)
I’m clueless, [...]
