I generally don’t like to focus on the negative in my posts but this time I need to vent. My laptop is driving me nuts. It is an HP dv8000 purchased about 4 years ago. That’s probably a good life for a laptop but given that I take very...

The storm of last weekend didn’t have a large impact here but still left 5 or 6 inches behind. In early December, I came upon an article on a method to get better traction in the snow with running shoes. The article is called The Screw Shoe and is...
