This is a shot of the cardinals I saw this morning. I’m pretty excited as cardinals aren’t always that common and they stand out quite boldly against the drab winter landscape. There’s a male (red) and a female (brown) in this picture. Hopefully they come back!

I originally called this blog “snowshoe” in honor of a hobby of mine that I have not been able to adequately do in the last two years due to the lack of snow. Living in Vermont presumes a few things: liberal politicians, cranky old New Englanders, damn hippies, maple syrup and snow. But there has not been adequate snowfall in our area the last two seasons to actually be able to go out and snowshoe. We got one storm this year with more than a foot of snow, and it was all light and powdery stuff that melted within 3 days.
In anycase, I’m keeping the snowshoe.wordpress.com page but renaming the blog (for the time being) to breadshack. If this is stupid, let me know, fellow bloggers!
In awesome news, I saw the first cardinal today! We had a few at our old house but none here so far at the new house. I’m very glad as they provide quite a bit of color to what is otherwise a drab and dreary winter.
As you can see, I’ve been adding some links and some pages to the top, I will update these and build these further as the days wind on.
We the people March 8, 2006
It was occuring to us last night that many other forms of government would be better than what we currently have. So I present to you the first in an occasional series: Overthrow This!
Kris Kristoffracy: a form of government in which Kris Kristofferson ruled the planet with his songwriting. Laws would be carried out by his band of Highwaymen, where they would dole out justice in a three-minute country ballad. Advantages: low crime, high musicality. Disadvantages: I don’t really have a structured government here, but we thought it sounded like a good solution to today’s problems.
The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album is pretty tight, but I’m really digging the new Loose Fur already. Discovering a few new bands courtesy of my bro 106, and I’ll update more with that later. Right now it’s time to jet out of this breadshack.
