Happy December first everyone...............We're getting close to the end of the year of the OP, and only 24 days left to really, really get into some serious debt.
It was 34 degrees here this morning at eight o'clock and the River walk was calling. I actually had to scrape the ice off my windshield...........ah the memories of Maryland and New Jersey winter mornings. Course up there it was real ice and it seemed to last from November to March each year!
In Maryland, ice and snow would not last too long.

But in New Jersey the long commutes(2 hours each way) by car to New York City was downright dangerous. The worst was ice.....snow you can see. But black ice is nasty. Not to mention the idiots who think that their cars are sleds. I guess they're everywhere. Well, I lived through that too. Good old state Route 22 from west to east and back again. And you all thought Nascar drivers are tough. Facing a commuting woman in an ice storm as she adjusts her eye makeup, oblivious of everything else.............now there's a challenge. Or some guy ooogling the girl in the car next to him as he speeds to catch up to her. Nascar......Phhhhht! We were the original road warriors.
Now just one month to go to get out of the year of the OP (owl pellet). Can't wait. Lets hope that the first picture of 2010 is more inspiring than the OP for which this current year has been named.
But I digress. It was a crisp two mile walk with sightings of geese, turtles trying to warm up on rocks, and one lonely blue heron. But except for the mating season, they are always lonely aren't they?
As you can see the Congaree River this morning was warmer than the air and the fog lifting was pretty and a little mysterious. Some color still remains in the leaves but most is gone. Guess we're being told to hunker down for winter. I don't want to accept that premise!
