January 19, 2010...The first day of political recovery in the US? Let's hope so.

Cloudy and cold with temperatures in the upper 20s virtually all day and a light breeze (only 2-4 mph) out of the north. We even had a few snow flurries (not even enough to call them "showers") this morning.

Terry and I snuck out to dinner at The Steakhouse over in Wellsboro this evening before going to our Tiadaghton Audubon Society meeting.
The TAS meeting feature Royal Draper of Draper's Super Bee Apiaries who spoke about the production of honey and the plight of honey bees. I've been to Drape's up in Millerton and can truly say it's one heck of an operation. Even in its scaled down version (they currently have only around 250 hives, down from 1000 at the turn of the century) there's plenty to learn and see on the bee farm. If you click the link, and then select "About Us" from the left frame, you can get a good idea of what Draper's is all about.

I'm going to be scooting up to the Bolt Hole tomorrow (Thursday). Haven't been there since the end of October/beginning of November. It's time for an inspection. I don't plan on staying long and will definitely be back in time for Sunday football. Gotta see if my Jets can beat the A Team of the Indy Colts for the AFC Championship.

I'm curious: does anyone else keep an eye (or two) on the Bolt Hole when you're not around? I'd be concerned about security.
Yeah, there are several who check on a semi-regular basis. I still like to do at least one visit a month.
