Rest in Peace, Xiao Xiao (September, 2009 - April 10, 2011)

Thank you, Hank Hill, for the wonder that is propane

Converted the figloo to an icehouse and put some stuff in the snow on the back porch

My latest project: melting a pot of snow so we can flush the toilet

Neither mailbox is anchored to the ground anymore

We survived night #2 of primitive conditions; here's my latest project

I built this "figloo" (fake igloo) for the kids. Or did I build it for me?

Lunch! We don't need no electricity!

Here there be snow, about 25"

Power is still out, which also means no heat and no landline phone. About to start a fire.

Bad news: I got the car stuck in the snow; good news: it happened 100 ft from the house

Braving the #Blizzard of '10 driving to CT and back, but Lucy's with me so I'll be OK

My winning #Bananagrams board; not that impressive maybe but it won

Still snowing

Just stopped by the Artisan #Wine Shop in Beacon; EA from Portugal is a great deal at $10 if you can find it
