Finally snow

Thats right Maine (at least where I live) finally has some snow. This winter and the last two before this winter have really been something for the history books. The culprit global warming I guess.

Im 30 years old and I remember growing up and from Thanksgiving untill about march or even April some years we would have snow and a lot of it.

I think everyday we would have some kind of snowball war or attack the fort. or even tying a rope on the back of the three wheeler Thats right a three wheeler!!!! and being dragged behind it on a sled. Those were the great days (except when I had to shovel the driveway,and the driveway was about 75 yards long as we lived in the outskirts of town on a lake.

Now I dont even like shoveling my four steps I have the whole 3 times It has snowed this year.

I really think kids now are missing out on the joys of going sledding cross country skiing in the trails out behind your house or a friends.As much as I hate the cold now I really do miss a winter when we have snow it just seems like a cold desolite wasteland out here lately.

Dont get me wrong Maine is one of the best places to live in this country and I really know I have lived in the four corners of the united states and a few in between. I really recommend going on a vacation to Maine someday in your life if anyone is reading this besides one friend I have here on 202p that lives in Maine.( you know who you are!!! lol)
I would suggest now though coming in the summer or fall and doing the leef peeping thing.

Anyway I was bored tonight as I pretty much am living by myself these days at least most of the week and just felt like writing.

Rainy Halloween

So last year we only had a half dozen trick or treaters needless to say I was a little dissapointed as Halloween is my favorite holiday since I was a little ghost or goblin.
So this year we decided to spend a little money and do some decorations,Im talking about lites, hay,window stickers, four feet tall grim reapers skeletons and ghosts (oh my) and we even live only 4 to 5 blocks from Steven Kings house and there has always been hundreds of trick or treaters in this area when I was growing up.
Not this year again I suspect that the rain had something to do with it started to rain a little after sunset. I had expected at least some little ones before the sun went down and no rain.
So again like last year we only had about a half a dozen and most of them looked a little to old to be trick or treating but it was fun regardless.
I went to pick up my reserve of F.E.A.R. at the mall and the manager said she was and the whole mall were bombarded with little ghosts and goblins, So that is where all the little devilish ones were that nite.I guess I agree with their parents if it was my year to take my daughter trick or treating and it had been raining the best place to go would be the mall,especially since you really dont know who you can trust these days there are alot of sickos out there.
In cclosing I dont think kids nowadays get the real expierence that we did when we were kids of walking down your local elm street and only really have to worry about is if Freddy Krueger was going to jump out at you!!!!!!!!
Please bear with me as this is my first attempt to share my thoughts online or with anyone else for that matter.
Keep of fraggin all
