Views from the C-Nile

Yes, very picturesque. But, it makes me recall times when we weren't so environmentally sensitive and we only salted the strip down the middle of the road and the snow was gone in two days. Now, we care about the environment, we salt everything and the road never gets snow covered. I guess nobody owns chains anymore.

I was driving up from MA last night, once I was above Nashua it was changing to freezing rain then snow. Was pretty bad Manchester and above, a few cars off the road.

Chains? Studded tires? Not many of either in this region any more.

And yes, just beautiful this morning with every branch covered.

This is the first season I have bought studded snow tires. Now that I have them I notice a lot of cars with them. Way more than I expected.

Was kind of a slow late afternoon at work, and I somehow ended up on the Breeze website... I started looking through the pictures they had posted.... funny how many of them included the C-Nile or our vehicles... like Where's Waldo... come for the view, stay for the food! ;-)

We lunched at The Breeze today, walked down to the docks after. Was beautiful out, sunny and warm. Looking out I couldn't lose the feeling that something was missing at the dock ... something there most of the year .... can't quite think of what it might be ....

You're right....sure seems empty without the fireboat there!

. Hopefully, you won't see as much of the C-Nile there this year. I really want to cut my commuting work days to 3, and just drive tiki boats on my non commuting days. Then again, I'll have to leave it at Glendale when I drive to Laconia, so maybe it'll be there everyday after all. Island logistics can be a bitch sometimes!
