Our 15 Minutes Of Fame

Posted on December 26, 2010 | 3 comments

Some people click on the Huffington Post for politics.

Others go there for business, media, entertainment, lifestyle or environmental news.

Everyone who visited tonight, though — and that’s hundreds of thousands of folks — saw this photo:

That’s right:  There’s little ol’ Westport, being plowed out on Soundview Drive.

It doesn’t look like the plow is working too hard.  This is certainly not a “Snowpocalypse.”

But the photo is great.  The water, snow and handsome homes make for a great shot.

We were definitely ready for our close-up.

“I think they’re having a big sale,” one woman said.  Her uncertainty did not deter her from joining the queue.

Pre-Blizzard Report

Posted on December 26, 2010 | 2 comments

Stew Leonard’s was only mildly chaotic this morning, in advance of the blizzard of the decade century Cenozoic Era.

Then again, it was only 8:10 a.m.

Earlier, at CVS, I ran into Bill Mitchell.  “I guess we’re gonna get whacked,” I said.

“It could be worse,” the ever-optimistic clothier said.  “It could have come 2 days earlier.”

If you’ve got a blizzard story or photos — before, during or after the storm — click on the “Contact Me” link at the top of this blog (or send it to dwoog@optonline.net).

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
