Some of you may get the FairPoint Communications newsletter, but if you didn't, here's an interesting link to check out. It's 24 hours of air activity as seen from space condensed to 1.5 min. Pretty amazing. Take a look. air traffic from space

Another interesting link is for recycling electronics in Vermont. There is a free program starting in July of this year through the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) ANR E-waste Program

We have another of those really cold but sparkling snowy mornings. It's only 15 degrees at 8:45 a.m., and the nice weather is only for today. Colder than normal by quite a lot, according to the weather folks. The snow is really pretty, though, and even with all the new snow and cold, there has been enough warmth for the snow to begin pulling away from the tree trunks - a sign the sugar makers look for to indicate sap is going to flow soon. The top picture is our back yard; the one below is the front yard and the turn-around for our driveway. The snow has all rounded, unblemished features with about 3 inches of fluffy new snow on top of what we already had. There was some cloud cover in this bottom picture looking north from our house towards Walden.
