Maple Lake Hail Storm Cuts Power, Damages Trees

A hail storm with high winds hit Maple Lake Thursday afternoon leaving many folks without power throughout the evening. As I write this, the power has still not been restored with the hydro repair personnel reporting that they cannot find the source of the outage.
They explained as night fell that they would cease repair attempts at sundown and resume again Friday morning.
The storms came on suddenly with high, gusty winds and hail, blowing deck furniture around and tearing branches from trees.
After the storm passed there was a thin white sheet of ice on the ground with the air temperature having dropped significantly.
See the video I’ve included for a taste of this early August weather event.

Cavender’s Boot City

Ξ June 1st, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized, fashion |

The very first western boots that I bought were with the Christmas money my grandfather gave me when I was 14 years old. They were fairly standard-issue tan leather but they were quality boots and they lasted me over 10 years.

The great thing about western boots is that they are in no way just for cowboys or mud kickers. Anyone and everyone can wear them and look good in them.

In browsing cavenders(dot)com I quickly found many candidates that if I had unending resources would immediately acquire.

Have a look at these. They are perfect for cool summer nights:

These beautiful boots are by Ariat®!

I want them.
