Terry Hoskins said he’s been in a struggle with RiverHills Bank over his Clermont County home for nearly a decade, a struggle that was coming to an end as the bank began foreclosure proceedings on his $350,000 home. “When I see I owe $160,000 on a home valued at $350,000, and someone decides they want to take it – no, I wasn’t going to stand for that, so I took it down,” Hoskins said

I took this on February 26th, 2010 at about 7:00AM – Our storm warnings called for 6-14 inches for this area. As you can see we didn’t even hit the low end of the range. It’s hard to tell exactly how much we got since our storm included high winds so there was quite a lot of drifting.

The woman in the SUV in the lower right was my grandmother Billie Jo Medlin Boulton, the man on the left was her grandfather (my great great grandfather) Dr. Robert Tanner. The postcard above is a fairly generic picture taken from the trenches in WW I in Europe.

When I first got into digital art and photography I was using Windows 3.1 and an early version of Photoshop. I am not sure if I was running a 386 or 486 then but it was definately Pre-Pentium times. The one annoying thing back then was the fact that the highest resolution shots my camera could create (640×480 – or 0.3 Megapixels) would take FOREVER to process using some Photoshop filters. As time went on and computers got faster the images processed more quickly. I am probably an anomaly in that I upgrade PC’s faster than I upgrade cameras.

This morning Brian and I were working at our PC’s when we noticed the smell of burning plastic. A few moments later there was a big BOOM that rattled our windows. We headed out to see what was going on and found that a minivan on the side street next to our house had an engine fire and was producing the awful smell. The window rattling boom was the minivan’s tire exploding.
