The past few days, when I looked up from my computer, I would see the clock on my wall trying to advance, but the hand would just twitch. It was clear that it needed a new battery. When I finally got around to getting a new battery, I took a minute to think about setting the time. In two weeks (I think) I will need to set all of the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. This clock is often one of the last ones I set, so it wouldn’t be too hard to set it now. But, I decided to set the correct time.
I like February because when I look at the calendar, I can also see the March dates at the same time. Since February has exactly four weeks, but February and March start on the same day. If I want to know what day of the week March 14th falls on, I can look at February 14th and know they both fall on a Sunday. Wouldn’t life be easier if all of the months worked that way. You would always know the 15th was on a Monday.
I have been on the Internet since the early 1990s. I started college at the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1991 and was quickly introduced to the Internet. At the time, gopher, telnet, and FTP were the main tools for surfing the internet.

I spent my weekend at the Circus Magic convention in Williamsburg, VA. This was my second year going to Circus Magic.

In the past week, we have seen between 20 and 40 inches of snow. The total depends upon who you ask and where they measured the accumulation. For the most part, the roads are passable. The major roads are better than the side streets.

Guess what, the forecast is once again calling for a big snow storm. We have had two storms this winter, first on December 19th and the second this past weekend, on February 6th. Now, they are saying we will get another 10-15 inches of snow between noon today and some time tomorrow.
