What a beautiful photo! Unfortunately, I am in the middle of a danged blizzard! As of today, it has been snowing for the last 70 hours, and we have almost three feet of fresh soft powder to show for it. And I have shoveled my driveway with my boys at least five times, and we're expecting 10 more inches tonight! But what the hay, that's Alaska for ya I guess, but why doesn't CNN ever report on Alaska's weather? We were Americans last time I checked... -->
But what a beautiful photo. Are those sagebrush foothills in the background? Sure looks nice. Maybe I should move back south...
I'm tickled pink that you guys like it, I don't have as much snow as you do Jonny, but I think after last night and today (big snow storm)and it was way too cold to walk the kids to school today, I've had enough winter!! So now I'm gearing up for spring!
, Linda Z, the song is called "Down in Mary's Land" by Mary Chapin Carpenter, I've been looking high and low for the chords to it to play on my mandolin but couldn't find anything so a real neat thing happened just the other day from my search. I had to take a cab and low and behold the cab driver happened to be a guitar player and instructor for 17 years. I asked him about the song and he did say it was a very difficult one to get the chords for unless you buy the book, he works at a little music store here in town and said if I come down to the shop he would figure out the song on his guitar and give me the chords for it!!! Too cool eh!!!
Rottie Girl, I am pretty much computer illiterate except for posting pictures so I asked my daughter to do the music for me.
Ah, Mary Chapin Carpenter was my second guess. I like her, too. I'm glad country singin' women finally figured out they don't have to sing through their noses! :D-->
Techno you should be able to hear music when you get this page. Which surprised me too cause you usually have to click a link to get something but this music comes automatically when you visit this page. Too cool!
Yes --- When Sudo posted that song "Stille", it came across loud and clear. Since I am on a Mac, the speakers work all the time, and don't have an *off and on* button! (it's integral).
Oh yeah, I just made the same mistake I complain about others making.
I have an IBM PL300 computer with a workaholic motherboard including a 500Mhz Pentium II running Win98SE OS, and a Creative Labs sound chip running the Real One audio player as default. I also have Windows Media player installed, but it's not the default.
How's that groundhog thing work, anyway? What, do you take a pig and put him through a mill and get ground hog?
And then you take that outside on Febrooary 2nd, and if you see a shadow, it's only 6 weeks until the end of winter, but if you don't see a shadow, dang, there are *still* 6 weeks left of winter?
Can't win sometimes I suppose.. you know, ole Phil was one of the big reasons they lifted prohibition. Threatened to bring sixty more weeks of winter unless he got a drink.
Here is the 7 day forecast for Rochester, NY. I guess your right. We'll be going from 2 or 3F to 28 0r 30F. I'll make sure I get my swimsuit out and plenty of suntan lotion. :D--> :P-->

HOW DID YOU DO THAT? With the music and stuff!!! How cool!! Totally cool!
Thank goodness this isn't a leap year. I'm with whoever said why can't they stick the extra day in leap year in June or something.

And thanks for the glimpse of spring. It sure doesn't look like that now, but it will!

Music??!?? What music??? I don't hear any music!
And besides, isn't spring just a coiled up piece of stiff wire?

I've tried every tech trick I can think of, but I STILL don't hear any music!
And YES, my speakers are turned on, and they do work. The only thing I haven't tried is changing my default audio program.
Any ideas?

It could be a firewall or applet thing.
If you have your browser set to not allow applets or activex, you might not get the music.

I'm with you on that one, Hammie. Our winter is just getting underway here in Hoosier-ville. 6-8" expected overnight.
Woo hoo! Bring out the sleds!
