Snow Snow Snow

Let it snow. There has a been a lot of snow recently that has fallen. The roads here in Erie are sometimes plowed - sometimes not. When the wind blows off of the lake, you better have 3 jackets on.

We found this really great place to eat Chinese food. During lunch, you can go to this Chinese restaurant on Pittsburgh and 26th Ave. You can get a whole plate full of food for about $5. It is probably the best deal in town.

Also, if you want to catch a good movie, try the dollar theatre at the Millcreek Mall. It is now showing Dark Knight! A great deal for a buck or two.

Statins and the Cold

Well, the snow has finally started to melt. I hear from the locals that it usually snows about this much 10 times before Christmas. In other news, a preliminary report came out about statins: a type of drug that reduces cholesterol and is supposed to reduce incidence of heart attack, myocardial infarction, etc. The report suggest that even people with normal cholesterol might benefit. These are the results of just one study, and the results are not conclusive.

A Little Bit of Snow and ticks

So, yesterday it actually snowed. Not any of this hail or anything that has happened earlier. But it actually snowed. From locals I have heard that it did not really snow that much. But it was at least 3-4 inches. This is more snow than I am typically used to. So I guess I am in for a real surprise. Apparently it can dump something like 1-2 feet on a particular day of the year.

I was happy to see that here in Erie, they clear the roads fairly well and the snow was actually fairly dry - that was sort of surprising.

I also went hiking a few days ago in Erie Bluffs State Park. It isn't really a state park. They just made the area a state park and they haven't developed it at all yet. I ran into people fishing, and people hunting within about 1/2 mile. I guess that is just something that happens here in Erie, PA. I sure have never seen anything like this before where I am from. I personally thought it was ridiculous that there were fishers (with children hanging around and families) and hunters with shot-guns, and hikers, all within about 1/2 mile of each other.

I would not be surprised if there were a decent amount of accidents that happen around here. I have always enjoyed nature and wild-life. But I guess here in Erie, if I see a deer, I can enjoy it just until it gets shot!

I also got my first tick. Not the most pleasant experience. I pulled it out and it sure didn't want to leave. It left a bruise (purplish) at the puncture site. I'll be watching for Lyme Disease.

Be safe out there in Erie PA.

Barack Obama Wins

So, we all know that Obama won. 'Vote for Change'. Is it really going to be a great change. Unfortunately, in order for Obama's plan (or McCain's as well) it would take a lot of money.

Like he said, "the climb is going to be steep." He is definitely a very motivational speaker and hopefully he can fulfill what he says he will fulfill.

I was not really a strong advocate for either candidate. But I think that Obama will be able to do some good in the office. Especially since he has a democratic senate and a democratic house. He will be able to actually make some changes, something that a divided president/congress/house can't do very well.

Obama spoke about change, about breaking down the barriers between parties, about uniting the nation. I hope that he can actually do that. Because there is nothing that this country needs more, than is for good politics, good politicians, and political unity.
