I am still amazed at how many Sam stones stories we still are getting even more than 14 years after Sam’s death. It’s such a nice way to keep Sam’s great spirit moving through the world

We got two today they were pretty interesting. A guy named Mar

Reported that he had found a Sam stone on a wall just outside of Dracula’s castle in Romania. The interesting thing is he wrote the note in Spanish…. Later in the day ‘Diane got a note from our friend Adam who is been skiing up in Little River and came across the same stone in a tree. We must placed it there sometime in the last couple of years

We still get several requests for Samstone and several Samstone placements and or sam stones found a week… If you want some SamStones go to http://Samstones.org. Will be happy to send you some

Nite all, nite sam

Last night I was trying to look up an old picture in my blog it was Googling My name… I came across this weird article from the Louisville Kentucky Currier-Journal from January 5, 1881

It reads “Cattlesbugh , Jan 4 – news has been received hear of several fatal affrays in Logan County West Virginia john cohn, a desperate character, who a short time ago Lead from Eliot County Kentucky, was shot on Marboro Creek Logan County West Virginia a few days ago by Aaron Brewer he is probably dead by this time. Cohn was shot by the sheriff of LA County a short time ago

Looks like my name say it was up to no good… But I have to confess I feel sorry for him from Across the 140 years that separates us . I wonder why he was a “desperate man”…

Aren’t we all?

Night all, night sam

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. We started the day with some wonderful chocolate bread that Diane had made… And some leftover empanadas from last night. Breakfast of champions

Diane and I had an interesting Valentine’s Day adventure today… decided we wanted to explore the old snipe Ireland to snipe Island Road. It was a road that connected the town of Richmond Vermont and West Bolton Tennis Court it was in use more than 100 years ago… We decided to do it the hard way. We started up on the stage Road and walked down the vast snowmobiler trail to snipe Ireland Road… It was a beautiful snowshoe… On fairly packed trails… Towards the end it was really beautiful… All downhill though.

Then we walked a couple of miles on the abandoned road Up towards the other end which is a short paved road that comes off Nashville Road in West Bolton.

Once we got off the snake Island Road we found snowshoe tracks heading up into the woods which we decided to travel… Our hope was to short cut some of the road walk that we had planned up to get back to our car… That prove to be much more complicated than we thought… Using our GPS we Managed to point ourselves in the right direction but it was a steep ridge with basically a cliff at the other side blocking us from going the direction that we really wanted… We ended up having to backtrack some but then managed to get onto Bentley Road which was further down Nashville Road… From there we walked back delivery road and then stage Road back to our car… All in all it was about 8.7 miles that’s it. Much of it in calf deep snow.… Both of us are pretty tired from that… But it was a really beautiful day

We got home pretty late…

We were about to take part the puzzle that day and had got me for my birthday… It’s the periodic table of the elements. Pretty fun… We’re finding that puzzles… As funny as that sounds… Our great way to pass the time during the apocalypse.

Super fun reading about with all the elements are used for. I did happen to look up the element that corresponds to my age which is wonderfully “samarium”

Diane is neodymium

Thank you Dmitriy Mendeleev

For creating this great system Organizing the worlds elements

Nite all, nite sam

Peaceful day… Began with a presentation for an alumni group for JNTU Hyderabad They were wonderful group…

A bit later diane, Kyle and I went for 3 mile ski up the river sure… We were doing some field research for some of the parking committee work that we are on. It was beautiful conditions

When we got back we decided to make a snowman Dalal… ‘Diane had seen some cool YouTube’s about some people doing it in Finland so we got a long rope and went out in the snow and made 100 foot wide Snowflower. One of us stood in the middle holding the rope and the others of us walked keeping the rope tight to make perfect circles… We progress that around the edge to make six petals and then stomp them down. It’s a little hard to see from the ground… But here’s what we could do. I also have a making a video that I made from the house while we were doing it

Ryan also made progress on scanning and she found some really nice pictures Of the kids from long ago

So nice to see these

They tug at my heart strings

Nite all, nite sam (nice to see you)
