Classic 80’s Games
Miss Pacman? You can play it at Classic 80’s Games if you have Flash installed. It looks very similar to the way I remember the game, not that I was ever very good at it.

Jack wanted me to take a photo of the shadows on the snow, because it was too much trouble to do so himself. So I did.
Today’s exercise was excavating enough room so that I could put out the garbage in its normal place. I amended my ambitious plan to clear the whole area after finding it was filled with frozen snow rubble. Fortunately, I discovered the garden fork worked better than the shovel to free the icy hard pack.

I rarely walk the road to the top of the hill to the north of our house, because I prefer to take the dirt trail so the dogs can walk with me. However, the dirt trail looks too treacherous and I needed a short walk. It felt good to get some exercise doing something besides shoveling snow. This photo was taken this morning from the hill behind our house. Our house and two outbuildings are scattered in the center.
