2007 Bassmaster Classic


My mother-in-law called this past weekend to say, "There are a lot of boats on the Lay Lake today". Well, the story is that the 2007 Bassmaster Classic was held on Lay Lake in Shelby County, AL last weekend.

My in-laws have their waterfront house for sale on Lay Lake, so hopefully one of those fisherman noticed the sign out front!

Now, if there were only some sort of sporting event in the northern part of Shelby County where I know of another "for sale" sign!

(The photo is a shot of my mom, sister, my nieces and nephew on my boat where we were getting ready to head out for a ride on Lay Lake last summer.)

The New York Snow Derby

Parking Lot at Work

As published in the newspaper this morning, Rochester, NY has seen 39.9 inches of snow in February, 20 inches higher than the month's norm of 19.4 inches.

74.9 inches of snow have fallen on the Rochester area so far this season which is within a half-inch of the normal to-date totals.

The snow derby compares our two neighboring metros on the East and West of Rochester. So far this season, Buffalo has had 86.3 inches of snow and Syracuse has seen 105.4 inches of snow.

The normal snowfall for Rochester, NY for the entire season is 100.3 inches. More snowfall is in the forecast for tonight.

Let's get going Rochester... We still need another 30 inches in order to reach "Normal". Let's shoot for 50!

Who wants to be just normal?

It will be fine

Addison Press

People I work with (mostly Howard Owens) have been giving me a lot of grief over the fact that I must have said, "It will be fine" more than a thousand times since December 6. That is the day we turned on the first of (now) more than 160 new community sites.
