I had a great time skiing over the weekend at powder ridge. It was pretty close to what I expected, not very big. There were a total of 6 runs and none of them were difficult. For my first time I tried the terrain park. Since that was the first time getting on the slopes so far this winter, I am real excited for more. I am trying to learn how to ski backwards, so that will be my goal this season.

Only Eight days until Christmas! I am so happy to visit with my relatives again and exchange gifts. Our family has yet to buy Christmas presents for each other. We are planning on going out this week though. Even though it seems like it just became the year 2007, I am anxious for the new year.

This weekend i’m going skiing! I am going to power ridge, which is a ski hill in Minnesota. It will be my first time going to this location, so I will be sure to report on how it was. Also, the website is now 3 months old! That is pretty cool because now more people are leaving comments, but most of them as spam.

Also, I found an eleven year old computer game called “creatures”. You might think that I am a nerdy computer game player, but I am not. I have to leave on go skiing now, but I will tell you more about creatures and how the skiing was. Happy Holidays.

Three days ago it snowed all day long. We got an incredible 5 inches! Fortunately, the temperature during the past couple of days has been in the low 20s, so the snow is staying. Three days later, today, it snowed for about 8 hours! That adds around 3 more inches to our total, making a good 8 inches! Now I’m just hoping it doesn’t melt until the weekend so we can play in it. When I look out side, it looks like a thick, white blanket covering everything. Until some kids walk through it or a dog pees on it, that is.

The city in which we live in has made a new rule. Everyone has to shovel their sidewalks within 24 hours of the snow falling, or else the city people will shovel the paths for you and give you a fine! I know a couple of people who are getting annoyed with this rule, but i suppose it is okay. It can get bothersome, though, after finish shoveling and a snowplow pushes the snow from the road right onto your newly shoveled sidewalk.

Also, Christmas is coming! We all better start acting good for Santa, or rather, act good for presents. Beautiful lights are starting to pop up around the neighborhood. We still have to put our lights on the house, too.

    Over the last four days I have been visiting relatives for thanksgiving. We had a delicious meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and green beans. It was the best thing that I have had to eat in a long while. It’s too bad that I don’t have turkey and stuffing every dinner. They were my favorite parts of the thanksgiving meal. Now that it’s over I will have to wait another year until I get to eat those delicacies again.

On the other hand, Christmas will be here in about 28 days or so. I’m sure that I will get to eat another grand meal then, not to mention the gifts and presents. Hey, and right after Christmas is the New Year, where there’s bound to be another celebration. Now it seems that those 28 days are a lot further away than before.  I guess that I will just to keep on waiting, patiently.

It’s true! Money is in the wind! Farmers throughout the country have been switching from crops to wind, which brings in about $5000 a year rather than $300 for corn and soybean farming. Not to mention it does good for the entire world.

Farmers have been putting up wind turbines and converting the wind blowing all around us into electric energy. The only problem for these farmers is that their part-time neighbors, greedy people buying second homes (referred to as citiots) , complain that they do not to have large turbines installed near them. This is often called ’Not in my back yard syndrome’ or NIMBYS. The thing is, these people go to their second homes only 2 or 3 times a week. Personally, I think that these turbines are beautiful.

Go Green!
