A TOUGH WINTER, A NEW THEORY AND A LITTLE Q AND A

THE ICE IS OUT AT LITTLE SAND BAY

A TOUGH WINTER ON THE DEER HERD

Monday, 8:30 AM.  36 degrees F, wind ENE, calm at present.  The barometer is rising, and stands at 29.60.  The humidity is 97%.  We received several inches of the heaviest snow of the winter, heavy sticky stuff, very difficult to shovel.  It is a beautiful, warm morning and we should get a couple of nice days before we get more snow.  Tired of sitting around the house, we took a ride out to Little Sand Bay yesterday, and can report that there is no ice at all on that part of the South Shore.  Near the park entrance a deer literally staggered across the road, obviously famished because of the long winter and heavy snow.  If conditions don't improve soon (snow too deep to allow easy movement of browsing deer) it will be a poor season for fawns.
   Watching the ice on the channel float around and mysteriously disappear and reappear, I
herewith put forth a new theory and ask blog reader Pat Weeden, who photographs and studies such phenomenon, to comment.  I have a suspicion that the much of the ice on the channel periodically sinks and disappears, and then comes to the surface again.  What do think, Pat (Google Pat Weeden and view some of his interesting time lapse photos of ice break-up)?
   Some Questions and Answers:
1) Are the people of North Korea slaves to a maniacal  dictatorship?Yes.
2) Do the people of North Korea have a constitutional right to personally  keep and bear arms?No.
3) Are the people of the United States slaves to a maniacal dictatorship? Not as yet.
4) Do the people of the Unites States have the  constitutional right to keep and bear arms?Yes, as reaffirmed by the 2008 Supreme court decision in District of Columbia v Heller.
5) Will the people of the United States become slaves to a maniacal dictatorship if they lose their constitutional right to personally keep and bear arms?  Think about it and answer it yourself.

  1. Art, I don't necessarily study the ice breakup, but I do like to watch it. Here is a time-lapse I made over the weekend from the Seagull Bay Motel webcam:
