Another Winter Blast Predicted for Tonight


The above picture is by my friend Joe Jenkins. After the last snow Joe went downtown Marietta to the top of Cobb County Government parking deck and photographed this picture. I like the picture because of its panoramic view (when you click on it); the snow on Kennesaw Mountain; and the steeples. Also, the picture gives the impression that we are almost at the foot of the mountain and actually we are over a mile away, maybe two.

Yep, the weather prediction is another winter blast tonight. It is predicted to be not as bad as our last blast, only an inch or so of snow.

I bet Groundhog General Beauregard at this very moment is pacing back and forth in his burrow wondering should he make an amendment to his earlier prediction or deny making it at all, politicans do that all the time.

Spring Has Sprung


Ahhhh. Spring is in the air.

White and some pink tree blossoms seem to be widely distributed, but still rare enough that each tree stands out.

And it is time for me to drag out my Atlanta Spring Postcard. This postcard is a picture of a home on West Paces Ferry Road just down from the Governor's Mansion.

While driving down West Paces Ferry not long ago I looked for that house. I have seen it many times. But this time I didn't. There are a few newly built mansions on the north side of the road, which was the same side as the pink dogwoods.

Did the beautiful dogwoods get bulldozed away to make way for a huge status symbol house, all paid for by us, via a bailout bonus?
