You awake to an eerie silence, rush to the window and see…, nothing. The snow has white washed the world with a thick coating of white. It isn’t too cold, it isn’t too warm, but visibility is about three feet. What a strange phenomena and an interesting way for monsters to hide. What exactly lurks…

Some days the people I love wake up feeling like a truck had run them over in the night. If they were dragons they could drink a brew and of course the beast that ran them over would be a charging cattle. The brew would either work to make their muscles fluid and relaxed or…

We traversed the highways and made it to my folks yesterday with the wind sweeping across the plains and trying to shove us in a ditch. It was a wild ride, but the plows were out keeping the snow from piling up, which we appreciate. Like all long trips we made a number of stops…
