The snow is pretty...but I just got a call from Concord, NH and Rt 93 is getting very slick.

Also, from NH-DOT website at:

http://67.106.3.240/default.asp?display=roadConditions&area=NH_statewide&date=&textOnly=False

is this warning about Rt 101:

Poor Driving Conditions - New Hampshire 101
New Hampshire 101: from NH 124 to NH 12; NH 101

Keep checking NH-DOT...they’re pretty good about updating accidents and weather.

Being alive. I was held at gunpoint recently. Thats all I can ask for anymore.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

-- The people throughout my life who have taught me compassion, forgiveness and tolerance

-- Laughter

-- The promise of hope

-- The beauty of nature and in art
