Thoughts On A Sunday 19 Oct 4:04 PM (2 days ago)

The weather has been nice up here at the lake, warmer than it has been over the previous few days. One thing that nicer weather made easier was pulling the Official Weekend Pundit Lake Winnipesaukee Runabout out of the water, something BeezleBub, our friend Bruce, and I took care of yesterday afternoon. My boating season is officially over. The boat presently resides at Beezlebub’s as I have

Average Price Of New Cars Above $50,000 18 Oct 5:15 PM (3 days ago)

That average new car prices have skyrocketed is not news to anyone paying attention. That the cause appears to be the sales of EVs causing this rise might be. Kelley Blue Book, which is about as reliable a source as you can have for tracking vehicle pricing, says September was a watershed moment for new-vehicle pricing. It claims that, for the first time, the median price of a new car in the

Thoughts On A Sunday 12 Oct 4:08 PM (9 days ago)

I can’t believe it’s Columbus Day Weekend already. The leaf peepers are out and about, particularly around here as we are supposedly approaching peak color. I’ve been seeing a lot of out-of-state license plates, a wider array than we see during the summer. I’ve also been seeing a lot more of those same vehicles wandering around, apparently lost. But I’m not seeing as many leaf peepers as usual

Oh So True 11 Oct 4:14 PM (10 days ago)

I saw this on Facebook this morning and I nodded as I read it, recognizing everything as something that was true, something I had experienced myself and knew to be true. ******************** My name’s Richard. I’m 74. And I’ve come to realize something about my generation: we are the bridge. We were born in one world… and grew up in another. A world where summers meant open windows, the hum

Thoughts On A Sunday - Abbreviated 5 Oct 6:30 PM (16 days ago)

After a few days of cooler weather up here at the lake, summer-like temperatures have returned. It was 80ºF here yesterday, will reach about 83ºF here today, and will be in the 80’s through Wednesday. You certainly won’t here me complaining about it. Any day I don’t have to turn on the heat is a good day as far as I am concerned. We’ll be into heating season soon enough as it is. At least one

Has The Internet Been A Disaster For Us? 4 Oct 5:47 PM (17 days ago)

I understand the sentiment about this statement, and I do agree with it...somewhat: “The Internet and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.” The Internet and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. This is an extreme statement, but I’m in an extreme mood. If I had the energy, I suppose I could fill a hundred pages trying to prove it. I could write about

Thoughts On A Sunday 28 Sep 4:10 PM (23 days ago)

The fall colors are starting to pop here in the Lakes Region, helped along by over an inch-and-a-half of rain this past week. The colors are running a little ahead of schedule this year, due primarily to the lack of rain since June. This has led to the lake level being much lower than usual, something I’ve mentioned over the past couple weeks. While I did mention pulling my boat out of the

Another Solar Power Project Bites The Dust 27 Sep 5:07 PM (24 days ago)

That the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is going to be shut down permanently doesn’t really surprise me. When I first heard about it before it was built, I thought it might be better way of generating electricity using solar energy because it used ‘old’ technology to generate power, that being steam driven generators, along with new technology – computer controlled mirrors to generate the steam –

Thoughts On A Sunday 21 Sep 2:57 PM (last month)

The weather here at the lake has taken a decided cooler turn with the past two nights seeing temperatures in the lower 50’s to lower 40’s. While it will be in the 70’s today and over the next few days, I think it’s safe to say the summer weather is pretty much done for the year. I can say that we are starting to see some of the leaves changing color, with the swamp maples usually being the first

Thoughts On A Sunday 14 Sep 4:25 PM (last month)

It’s been nice weather up here at the lake. Perhaps too nice. We’ve had very little rain since June and it has caused the water level on the lake to drop about a foot-and-a-half which has led to problems for some boaters. Sand bars are now poking above the water level. The same with rocks and ledge in some places. One of my favorite places to anchor for swimming can only be reached from one

"I Am Charlie Kirk" 13 Sep 4:13 PM (last month)

I have been watching the media frenzy following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I have seen the awful social media posts from the Left celebrating his murder. I have seen a number of the MSM being fired for their support of his murderer. A couple of teachers here in New Hampshire have found themselves in hot water for expressing much the same thing, their continued employment in our schools

Remembering That Awful Day 11 Sep 4:30 AM (last month)

This was something I wrote back in September of 2002 and thought it was fitting to bring it forward for the 24th anniversary of That Awful Day. Like many people on the East Coast, I was at work that day. I was in the engineering lab trying to finish the paperwork on a project that was soon going in to production. It was shortly before 9 AM when one of my coworkers came through the lab, telling

Thoughts On A Sunday 7 Sep 4:40 PM (last month)

The thunderstorms we experienced yesterday were widespread, but some were heavier than others. While we didn’t suffer any damage anywhere near The Gulch, there was damage in other towns, primarily in the southern tier of New Hampshire. The only thing we suffered here were brief power outages, flickering lights now and then, and an Internet outage that didn’t get resolved until late last night.
