Rick's cows have moved further south in the field and out of the trees now that the sun's out and the wind has died down, better grazing and the pond isn't completely frozen over yet.
Adrian had another party in the shop, attended by the usual suspects, and nobody seemed to mind that he had the manure spreader and the silage wagon in there for repairs. The smell was horrid, but I guess enough vodka and beer and you don't notice it as much.laugh
Others are raking up leaves, cleaning up their yards and doing the last minute repairs and outdoor projects before it snows again and stays. blues
The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) have set up shop here, kiddy corner from me, and have been making their presence known around town in a friendly manner. Never had police in this town before, and now I'm wondering when and where the first traffic lights will be installed. mumbling
The geese have been flying south pretty steady and stopping to rest and feed in the field across the highway. Lots of honking and a few people eyeing them up, likely to stick them in the freezer, but no discharging of firearms is allowed within town limits, which is a good thing.roll eyes
Still have a few local cats coming in through the old coal chute into the basement to stay warm, but that'll end in the next day or two when I frame it in. OC (Orange Cat, don't know his real name) was just here to say hello, must have smelled the bacon cooking. laugh

Not much else to report, just another day in the wild west.cowboy

The Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama might be a step closer to becoming the next President of the USA as he "won" by a wide margin the fake "US Presidential Elections", which took place in Bulgaria's Karlovo Municipality on Sunday.
Obama received 59,4% of the votes vs. 40,6% for his Republican opponent John McCain winning with a lead of almost 20%.
Obama won by an even wider margin in the nearby town of Banya - there he got 65,7% of the votes vs. only 34,3% for McCain.
A total of 394 votes were cast in Karlovo, and 140 votes were cast in the town of Banya, announced the Chair of the Karlovo Town Council Toshko Stoev, who was headed McCain's headquarters in Karlovo Municipality.

Well they got that right!laugh The Irish betting firm PaddyPower already paid out the winnings to those who bet on Obama becoming the next president.

I predict a landslide though cnn is pretending it's a close race, just to keep as many viewers as possible watching their programmes! wave

The first snow this year came to Lithuania last Friday, and the weekend was white everywhere, the temperatures were about the freezing point. In some areas more snow came on Monday.

This is what our countryside roads about 50 km south of where I live looked like on Tuesday morning... here in Klaipeda we have had more rain than snow.



On Wednesday they warned about a possible flood in this area (south west of Lithuania bordering Russia):

More pictures with snow: this place is also 50 km south of here, but not on the continent, it is on the Curonian Spit - a strip of land stretching from Russia with its tip approaching Klaipeda across the bay.



Click on the first picture below the story, then drag the mouse to the right side of the picture, and go to the next one, etc.

It is an absolutely fantastic and unique area, a must see for everyone coming to Lithuania, especially in summer:

They have not had so much snow falling within 24 hours since 1936 there! By tonight all the snow is already gone and it is raining...
