The title of my post comes from a twitter saying I started because of all of the news and buzz going around the storm that we received yesterday. Every newscaster was making it seem as though this storm would be the end of the world. So I lovingly dubbed it Snowpocolipse09.

All in all we got about 5-6″ of snow with some ice mixed in. I have a lot of work to do scraping the driveway while my son and wife take an afternoon nap…

Enjoy the pictures below, I hope to take some more this afternoon.

Today I learned of a gang related shooting in Madison from DigTriad on twitter. It happened on Fern street which is a little ways from my house thank goodness. When I told my wife about it this afternoon she informed me that she saw the filming crew at the police station (which is two doors down). I hope that the Police have captured the gang members involved and hopefully I won’t have any news like this for a long time…
It is scary though to know that such a small town has gangs in it… Hopefully they would never be stupid enough to try and bother me, smith, and wesson

This morning I woke up at 5:30am and started my walk around the town of Madison. I do this everymorning now instead of working in our gym here at work as it provides me with a little more time at home. This morning however I desided to sit in the town gazebo and watch the sun come up. I was sitting for no longer than a minute when my whole experience was interupted by this:

If I had had a Red anything in hand I would have jotted a note to the wasted youth that looked like this:

But given that it is the digital age I can send my message without ever destroying property. clearly this youth has not recieved a cell phone yet
