Some pretty neat icecycles!

With all the snow lately I'm finding lots of time to post on the blog. Here is picture of some icecyles hanging off the clubhouse roof at the marina. And this morning, we had some really big wind gusts and one blew a section of the "A" Dock roof off. It must have been something to see since it landed on top of the laundry room, skipped over to the office where it punched a hole in the roof and finally landed up near the parking lot. Fortunately, nobody got hurt and no cars were hit. Here are a couple pictures. In the first you can see where the roof use to be with only the frame and support posts left.

This has nothing to do with snow, I just like it!

Just something to think about ...

Buddhism's 3rd Noble Truth:

The third noble truth is that the cause of suffering can be ended. Our struggle to survive, our effort to prove ourselves and solidify our relationships is unnecessary. We, and the world, can get along quite comfortably without all our unnecessary posturing. We could just be a simple, direct and straight-forward person. We could form a simple relationship with our world, our coffee, spouse and friend. We do this by abandoning our expectations about how we think things should be.

Kind of hard to argue with that don't you think?

Oh no, not another one!

With another snow storm on the way this weekend, I didn't want to post another snowy/icy picture so here's one of Krabi. I wanted to remind myself that this time next year we should be settled in and not having to deal with snow and ice. I love the clouds in the picture, sort of gives in a very mysterious look don't you think? Today I'm faxing over the last documents the movers need to ship our household goods to Thailand. They have been in storage for almost two years and I've about forgotten what we packed. Guess it will be a little like Christmas when they arrive at our new home and we start up packing. I'm really looking forward to that day.

Another Big Snow Storm

This past weekend we had our second really big snow storm of the winter, and I'd guess we got at least 12". That's a lot for down here and two in a year is very unusual. But everyone survived just fine, no damage that I know about and we never lost power which they did during the big one last year.

Next year this time we should be in Krabi and not worrying about snow. We'll be complaining about the heat! As for temperature, it is 10 degrees this morning, the coldest day so far!

This is the dinghy rack from the clubhouse window. Our inflatable is the bump on the right side.
