01/22/2023 – Two days of snow clearing. I don’t mind. It was only a foot deep and buzzing around on the tractor, blowing snow, gives me time to think. One of my early jobs was working at a heavy earth moving equipment manufacturer, Nelson Iron Works, in Clifton, NJ. A […]

There is a trail camera placed a quarter mile back in the woods. I should have retrieved it two months ago, but it is cold outside and I am not motivated to go off the road to retrieve it; put on my boots and drag my ass out to get […]
