1-9-10 Car in the snow

THE FACE OF THE WINTER OF '10

We hope this is just a passing phase of the winter of '09-10. Although the weather forecast looks brighter this week, let's not forget what happens when six inches of snow hits the ground. This car was captured frozen in the community parking lot.

If you think baby names of '09 are interesting, read the list from '49 and '50

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 9, 2010 - 5:41pm

"Where's Tom, Dick or Mary?" I thought to myself.

Don't know where they are; but do know where they aren't. They are not on the list baby names of 2009 from the Bluffton Hospital.

It doesn't really matter that they aren't there. It's simply an observation that times change and names go with the times. While some of the names on the "born in 2009" list seem foreign to our ears, allow me to share some really foreign names.
