How things change, boy.

Monday it was 60 and sunny. Today its a blizzard that my dad describes as “The most snow I’ve seen at once since 78′.” I’d have to agree with him. I can’t remember a time where snow was continuously coming down for a day and a half, and it is still going. I snow blew the driveway. I’ll be doing it again tomorrow. And if the wind keeps up, I’ll need to do it on Monday.

Its interesting, Montrose is shut down. I think only Bob Evans and the gas stations were still open. The fun part of all this is that the road crews are out of salt. They’re only salting hills. And with how the snow is drifting, plowing doesn’t do much at all.

I finally started building my desk. Got the frame built with the desktop put on and the laminate glued down. I should finish the construction in one more evening of work, which should be sometime this week. Then I’ll need to apply the finish. And clean my room. I’ll bring along my camera for pictures when I go to the shop again.

One final note, I’ve been looking for a new camera. I was thinking about a Digital Rebel XT kit with a second lens, but I learned of a new Fuji camera that really caught my eye. The S1000FD. Its a 10mp SLR-like camera that has all the right specs. Its coming in April, so I’m looking forward to the reviews. MSRP is only $250.

With the S1000FD being so cheap, I may be able to afford a small pocket camera. I’ll probably grab something used. Something with decent picture quality and can survive a day in my pocket. Anyone have suggestions for one that can be had for less than $150 used (because new cameras at this price are garbage)?

Yay for long posts. Because you read all that, here’s a cool overview of Geauga Lake in the 80’s. Photo from Coasterdad’s Time Machine.
