Overheard the following Thor conversation this morning on the CW 15 (Albany) news:
News Lady: “I don’t get this Thor thing”.
News Guy: “He is the god of thunder and used to be one of the big Marvel characters with Spider-Man and Captain America”.
Weather Guy: “Was he made out of rocks”?
At that point you could see the look of extreme disappointment in News Guy’s eyes.
Delicious news via SamPratt.com. The Diamond Street Diner on Warren St. in Hudson has new owners who plan to reopen the eatery with a local “farm-to-chef” menu to compliment the standard diner offerings.
The new owners are the organic farmers from Ghent of Grazin’ Angus Acres, the sign for which is located on Route 66. No word has been given on when we can expect the diner to open.

I’ve heard from several life-long residents of Columbia County who have said that they can’t remember a winter with more snow than what we have had this year. It looks like those memories serve them well because the CW15 reported this morning that the combined snow for January and February was the most on record with 64.5 inches in the Albany area. For those of us in the higher elevations that number is likely to be significantly higher.
We aren’t out of this snowy mess yet with more snow arriving today. At least we can safely say we are closer to the end of snow season than we are the beginning (I hope).
