Prior to Derek’s win today, one of the few photos a web search would turn up of him was this one with Dave after the 2011 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship played at Bandon Dunes. Dave blogged about it back then here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/BehindTheScenes/2011/07/01/well-be-rooting-for-derek-ernst-at-the-u-s-amateur-public-links-championship/ and here: http://www.backwoodshome.com/blogs/BehindTheScenes/2011/07/04/mills-and-do-defeat-ernst-and-dodd/

Faces often appear out of my slash pile fires so I thought I’d share a few from my most recent fire. First is this face of a man facing left, second is a gorilla facing right, and third is a sitting dragon looking right. — Dave.

Our webmaster lives in a Boston suburb and felt lucky to have awoken to a mere 18 official inches, although one drift in his yard topped five feet.

Most folks spent the day running snow blowers and wielding shovels. Below are two of his neighbors, who waited until late afternoon to begin shoveling, trying to figure out where to pile all the snow so it doesn’t collapse back onto their sidewalk or into their driveway.

 

And some folks, having spent too many hours moving snow, like the owner of the car, below, gave up and left their car buried until tomorrow.

We were both 19 years of age.
