I found it!!!!

WOW, I can still remember the first time as a child I heard the statement: "No two snowflakes are ever a like." For years I have tried to find the flakes that disprove this statement.

Well, yesterday I found it. A flake that was EXACTLY like a flake I found in 1956. I think a Nobel Prize is in order......or at least a government grant.

Okay, back to shoveling.

Speaking of flakes, in case you missed it.....

As animal hoarding goes, the 30 seized from Darlene Gardner's double-wide trailer home in Kootenai County, Idaho, last year weren't particularly noteworthy, even though two of them, deer, were living inside, each in its own bedroom. Authorities released the deer and other healthy animals into the wild and euthanized the rest, and Gardner's husband pleaded guilty to one animal cruelty charge. However, in November, Darlene filed a $2 million federal lawsuit against the county's "jack-booted thugs" who, acting without a search warrant, she said, had "killed my babies," referring to the animals that "were my life and my family."
