Patricia Furlong sent in this photo of a rare artifact – a life ring from before the Oriental was launched, spotted above a snowy woodpile in Charlotte, NC. We may have to send the museum to investigate.

Nancy Elrick (at Neuse Winds) says they have named their snowman “Al”. Al gets the Snowman Most Like Danny Devito Award.

Another day in Carolina Tropical Paradise – it’s the deck of Larry Summer’s boat “Tara”. (Larry Summers photo)

Remember the classic TV sports phrase – “The Thrill Of Victory… and The Agony Of Defeat.” Maverick Smith looks pleased with himself after hitting his Mom Susy with a massive snowball.
