Yeah!  Blame Canada for…er…well.  We could blame them for…um…Nope, I cant’ think of a single negative thing to blame those crazy Canuks to the Canorth for.  Our trip to our northern neighbor was quite lovely indeed.

Welcome to the Pierces. I jotted this blog down with the only writing utensil I could find –a quill.   Naturally they don’t have internet way out here in the boonies, in fact the only service they need from “city folks” (as they say here) is some gas-o-leen for the tractor.   Once the sun […]

A quick Google search confirms my (somewhat far fetched) theory that sometime hard drives have a hard time working at high elevations… I was hopeful.Glenwood, CO.  My […]
