<div id="attachment_7738" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px">
	<a href="http://www.columbusbestblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tree-in-snow.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7738  " title="SAMSUNG" src="http://www.columbusbestblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tree-in-snow.jpg" alt="Oak tree Delaware County" width="430" height="329" /></a>

<p>The same oak tree in Delaware County less than a half hour later.</p>
<div id="attachment_7739" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px">
	<a href="http://www.columbusbestblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Blue-Sky.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7739 " title="SAMSUNG" src="http://www.columbusbestblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Blue-Sky.jpg" alt="tree with blue sky" width="430" height="329" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Tree with blue sky 30 minutes after a snow squall</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I wish I would have taken a photo of the tree against the dark sky an hour before the snow.  At first the snow was not sticking.  It seemed to be blowing straight east.  A half hour later the snow was sticking on the ground and I could barely make out cars at the intersection just north west of the tree when I took the photo.  I took the photo of the snow from inside and you can see a light fixture reflected in the glass.  I opened the door and took another photo without the glass but this one is better even with the reflection of the office ceiling light.   The blue sky photo I opened the door.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Happy Columbus Day 2011!  The last Columbus Day? Ever?  I recently  read the world is going to end on October 21, 2011.  Wasn&#8217;t the end of the world supposed to be last spring?  I do not remember the date.  Last  May? but by some miscalculation the end of the world as we know it was really 10-21-2011?</p>
<p>I would add a link here but I don&#8217;t want to add a link here&#8230;</p>
<p>On a CBS news link to a story with a video before the May date that the world was going to end, Bill Whitaker wrote of Reverend Harold Camping&#8217;s earlier prediction:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The end of the world has been predicted more than 100 times in the  last 100 years. In fact, Harold Camping predicted the end once before &#8211;  in 1994. This time he says he&#8217;s certain.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>101+/-</p>
<p>102 +/-</p>
<p>Happy Columbus Day, Columbus Ohio and beyond.</p>
<p>How does it go?</p>
<p>&#8220;In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.&#8221;  ?  Something like that?</p>

<p>I guess it is &#8220;Ohio&#8217;s Greatest Home Newspaper&#8221;  Columbus only newspaper.  Well almost.  The Columbus Business First article by Dan Eaton  tells the story of local news change -  <a title="Dispatch buys Columbus Monthly, Other" href="http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2011/09/27/dispatch-buys-columbus-monthly-other.html?ana=twt" target="_blank">Columbus Dispatch buys Columbus Monthly, the Other Paper </a> and then some&#8230;  The Columbus Dispatch owns both the Suburban News and the This Week News now.  Both SNP and This Week News have a Dublin paper, a Hilliard paper, a Westerville paper, a Worthington paper&#8230;   and others.</p>
<p>&#8220;Home&#8221; newspaper as in home town?</p>
<p>Personally I heard about it on Twitter.<br />
