Little by Little

Saying for the day- A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

The change continues. Yesterday only small changes mostly to the left hand column.
Nobody ever looks at that anyway.
I removed some links and the old link list.
Spent part of the day looking at ways to put some audio onto the blog for the Finnish words.
Little by little the changes come.
I remind you that the JCPOINTS are being phased out. In two weeks they will be gone. They vanish like a puff of smoke or a bad dream.
You can still make the worthless things worth something by checking HERE for your points and then going HERE for what you can get with them. I will keep adding to that. First one to ask gets.
Please note there is a new Finnish word in the blue square on the left.

Meanwhile back in the real world I miss the snow.
I never thought I would say that but I do.
I don’t miss it when I’m walking then I’m glad its gone .
But when I look out the window and there is no blanket of white it just feels like something is missing.
Despite all the problems that it brings snow has some beauty.
I remember getting up early in the morning, taking the dog, and going cross country skiing .
It was so beautiful.
The air was crisp ( it was 20 below zero).
Of course, now I can’t ski and if I slide a little I am petrified but snow still has those great memories embedded in it.

News from Pigeon Falls – the little town in my garage where trains still run and dragons fly.-Lots of excitement in Pigeon Falls last night. Somebody tried to rob the Periwinkle Gas station . Just before closing a masked man with a gun demanded that Thomas give him all the money from the till. Now Thomas Perwinkle III is not stupid so he gave him every last cent. There was around $400 give or take a couple of bucks. At least that’s what Thomas said. The crook then locked Thomas in a closet and left. What the crook didn’t know was that Thomas has an inside release on the closet because he had a worker who kept getting himself locked in the closet when he’d go for supplies. Periwinkle waited a bit and then raced to the door of the station in time to see the crook’s vehicle turn onto the yellow brick road. The problem then was who should he call. There is no 911 service in Pigeon Falls. The constable was out of town visiting relatives. The State Police were a half hour away ( cut backs for economic reasons closed a closer station ).So who do you call. Well Thomas called Eino, as if Eino didn’t have enough problems.
Eino called the State Police and told them they would find the crook stuck in the mud at the end of the yellow brick road. Sure enough the guy was there trying to push his car out of knee deep mud. The sudden thaw had turned an otherwise passable road into one large mud puddle. Of course, everybody in Pigeon falls knew that but our crook was not from Pigeon Falls.
Crime of this nature is very rare in Pigeon Falls. The last big criminal act was when old Rollin Sledgeberg ran the drug store. Somebody broke in and drilled a hole in his safe. They didn’t get in but it ruined the safe. After he had the safe repaired he left it open. Put a sign on it saying that all the money is in the bank , the safe is not locked, don’t drill holes in it. He just kept papers in the safe so he’s know where they were. They never did catch that crook.
