Now hiring and thanks

First and foremost, thank you to all my 365th blip well wishers. I appreciate everyone's comments and am overwhelmed. It is a testament to the great community we have here at Blip.

We had a busy final weekend before Christmas with lots of tasks including present wrapping and preparation for an upcoming snow storm. We are expecting 6-12 inches tonight and tomorrow (15 cm - 30 cm). Of course we are used to lots of snow and so this should not be much of a problem.

As I returned from an errand, I noticed this abandoned factory. It is in terrible shape with many broken windows. I could not help but laugh when I saw this help wanted sign. Who would want to work there? Truthfully, I highly doubt that the company is hiring; this is probably a remnant from when it was in operation. A quick Google search suggests that the company closed operations in 1957 and I wonder whether this help wanted sign has been there since then.

A year ago: Long exposure shot of our Christmas tree while zooming the lens. I still like the effect.
