Yes, we got 2 feet of snow around these parts over the weekend. It didn’t stop the USPS and Fed Ex from delivering every day this week though. It’s a feat UPS has not managed not once.

Fading Dreams?King George County. Instead of a cornfield the boundary of this baseball field is a forest and its posted with “No Trespassing” signs. My guess is that even a grounder into the trees is an automatic home run.I played a lot of baseball gr…
