My last post noted a new snowfall. There's still residual white stuff in the shady areas because, unlike my late teenage years in New Mexico, the temps usually don't climb high enough to melt off the snow completely within two or three days, as often occurred in the Land of Enchantment. Since I am well into adulthood snow just doesn't hold the same novelty as it did when I moved to the mountain west from Houston Texas (where any measurable snow accumulation is as rare as a 70-degree day in Kansas in February).
Still it was fun to take the kiddo and her friend sledding on fresh powder.

My thoughts on the football season just concluded?
I barely watched the Super Bowl, didn't even give much heed to the commercials. Have to wonder if both of these events are becoming victim of their own success. However it was gratifying to watch the Pats lose (again) to the Giants.
Me rooting for the Giants. See what's become of me??
Three more positives for the 2011 season:
1) No Bret Favre
2) No Terrell Owens
3) No Tiki Barber
Here's hoping I can add Randy Moss to that list this time next year.

In the lamest-make-a-connection-department I saw that Apple is soon to release a newer version of its operating system. It's named "Mountain Lion."
Features and improvements aside, speaking of felines you don't want to encounter in the wild unarmed here's a pic I took a couple of weeks ago when going to the local auto parts store. I was planning to use it in an entry here with a phrase such as "You know you live in a small rural town when..."
When you go to buy a new car battery and the vehicle next to you has several dead bobcats on the flatbed. It is trapping season, after all.
