Today's post shows pictures of the house repairs from the Octotober storm. Here the contractor is opening up the back wall and removing the section of damaged ceiling -- which gives a good view through the opened ceiling to the full extent of the roof damage.

Seemed like this used to happen every year ... and then suddenly not.
In Defense of Freedom
This is a very interesting video, discussing the dangers to freedom, and the true exercise of freedom, in a place far removed from the borders of the United States.

WinterFest: Lighting the Tree
Last weekend was the first weekend of WinterFest at Worlds of Fun. We weren't able to get out to experience it until Sunday evening, but it was certainly a well-developed event. Several items were still in the process of being set up, but that did not distract from the overall festive impact of the time. … Continue reading WinterFest: Lighting the Tree
