Monday morning we measured eleven inches of dry, powdery snow which began the following day (Sunday). It snowed most of the day Sunday and was cloudy most of the day Monday. This Duchess Pug hates to sink her paws into that cold, powdery snow. Yet a lone have it fall on her head. BUT . . . my human seems to love it all even when she sinks in up to her knees. That Sadie Pug does seem to be energized as she bounces around in that snowy stuff.

Jesse James (1847-1882)

PBS had a program on a few days ago concerning Frank and Jesse James that got me to thinking of what lead those two brothers to a life of crime. Was it the Civil War?

Anyway, it reported that frank James was the quiet brother and Jesse James was the brother who craved the attention for his crimes.
