Still Fighting the Virus in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/24/2010 6:38:23 PM |
About a week ago, my desktop computer was hit by a virus called “Internet Security 2010.” It totally locked up my computer and prevented me from writing my blog, reading the news, and watching the financial markets. My computer is still at the local computer hospital. I called to find out the status but as of last Saturday, it’s still in recovery!
Isn’t it amazing how... Read More |

A Silent Attack in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/19/2010 7:19:54 AM |
| I usually publish a new blog either on the weekend or during the week if I am particularly ambitious. But last Saturday night, my desk top computer was hit by something called, “Internet Security 2010” which completely blocked me from using my computer. The only thing that I could do was to go to their website which asked for a payment of $49.95 to unblock my computer. It... Read More |

A Brief Moment of Sun in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/14/2010 6:10:36 AM |
It was late in the afternoon when the sun made a brief appearance in the Finger Lakes so I went for a walk along Canandaigua Lake. The little Ontario Country Park along East Lake Road was deserted but the sun brightened the snow and ice and made for a sharp contrast against the cold blue waters of Canandaigua Lake. This small county park has a few picnic tables and some... Read More |

It's What We Expect in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/11/2010 6:41:37 AM |
Morning of the second week in January breaks in the Finger Lakes. It’s a crisp 18 degrees here in Canandaigua but it’s supposed to warm up to 25 degrees today. The weatherman says to expect abut an inch of snow this afternoon and one to three inches of snow overnight. And by the beautiful sunrise that that we saw this morning, I would say that he is correct! It’s the... Read More |

Celebrating another Birthday in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/6/2010 7:24:02 AM |
Since Friday is my birthday, it’s time to step back and think about what another year in the Finger Lakes might bring. My parents never did celebrate birthdays. Nor did they pay much attention to what happened in the past. As my mother taught me, “what is past is over and done with” and “don’t cry over spilt milk!” As for myself, I am looking forward to another year in... Read More |

Family Farming in the Finger Lakes |
| 1/2/2010 6:23:28 PM |
How about some fresh carrots on New Years Day? On the Bupp family farm, my mother used to store carrots in the basement of our old farm house over the winter. She would fill an old wash tub with dirt, and then in the fall, she would replant the carrots in the moist dirt. Since the cellar floor of our old farm house was just dirt and unheated, the carrots would keep till... Read More |
