An icy Valentine's Day

One of the remarkable things about Nature is how awesome beauty and extreme danger often go hand in hand: waterfalls, volcanoes, heavy surf, and icebergs, to name just a few. Last night Virginia and much of the Mid-Atlantic region suffered a major ice storm, and several thousand people in the Augusta County area were left without electric power or heat. The views this morning of all the ice-covered trees was truly spectacular, however, especially when the sun came out.

Icy tree twigs

On my way in to help with the local Red Cross chapter this morning, I snapped a photo of these ice-covered tree twigs.

The inconvenience occasioned by the harsh weather may have interrupted many people's plans for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. Can we reschedule?

This (or that) year's
blog highlights

NOTE: Thus far, only blog posts related to politics and baseball are included in this list.

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
