Here in Baltimore we got a little over 24 inches, which is more than normal for a whole winter season here. The real fun comes Monday morning, when I try to make it in to work. Of course no-one here has snow tires, or much experience driving on icy roads, so it could be quite a demolition derby. It's got me plotting my next tropical vacation... -Robert A. DeRose, Jr. |

But today most 70-year-olds have to do it themselves, at least around here, while those local kids relax inside apparently counting the money and blackberry Ipods their parents give them. We had a snowy morning in Central IL on Friday about 2-3 inches in the morning and another 1 inch overnight, the temperature right at freezing all day and night. The IL Department of Transportation did an EXCELLENT JOB of keeping the roads salted and I was able to do a 75 mile each-way round trip (Springpatch to near Macomb) with no real problems. It used to be that a person could go to small-to-medium sized coin shows every weekend from the end of October to the end of March, with Christmas and New Years excepted. No more, almost all of those shows are gone (the majority of the former attendees are deceased too). A decent coin show next weekend in STL, but unless some misc. cash comes in early, I probably won't attend. I used go to a lot of those shows, including the long-defunct East Kumquat Annual Coin-a-Rama, but I don't remember them being quite that frequent. Depending on how far one cared to drive, maybe every other week. Of course, an SMSA north of you still supports a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th Sunday show, but most of them amount to very little these days, and I'm surprised that any of them have survived. Most of the material offered for sale has gotten quite long in the tooth, and it's not worth the trip. The show in Springpatch at the end of March is always good though. James the Less-Traveled |

Are most of you folks out there snowed in easterners? Not much RCC action this weekend. If you're like me, you spent part of the day shoveling and the other part recuperating. 24+ inches on my 50' driveway in the N. Virginia suburbs. I'll tackle the sidewalk tomorrow. No snow plow yet. Fifty years ago, this would have brought out the local kids competing to earn good money. But today most 70-year-olds have to do it themselves, at least around here, while those local kids relax inside apparently counting the money and blackberry Ipods their parents give them. I'm born and raised here in the Los Angeles area and have never seen snow fall before. Have been in snow in the local mountains after it has fallen, but have never actually seen it come down. Have seen plenty of rain, though, especially in recent days! |
