Last weekend’s big snowstorm, and all the hullabaloo in the runup to it, put me in mind of the old days growing up in the 1960s and 1970s when foot-deep snowstorms were not the exception but the rule. Back then we went into winter expecting to get at least a couple big storms that would close roads and bring our rural Pennsylvania neighborhood to a standstill. It was important...]]></description><link>https://www.peaceableman.com/post/peaceable-man-files-61-snow-days-and-radio-days</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6977cf9f8aff15125e7bcf4f</guid><category><![CDATA[Authentic Living ]]></category><category><![CDATA[Simple Joys]]></category><category><![CDATA[Peaceable Man Files]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 27 Jan 2026 12:38:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9a1c22_9ada10a526f44eeeb60d3d2c824da925~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_728,h_408,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jamesbriankerr</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peaceable Man Files #60:              The Simple Bare Necessities]]></title><description><![CDATA[Random musings on my vagabond existence in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania and wherever else life takes me. Rachael and I spent the week between Christmas and New Year's in the Arctic. Okay, it wasn’t officially the Arctic, but it sure felt that way. We were up at our mountain house in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania where the temperature struggled to hit double-digits during the day and dipped down to near zero at night. We arrived just as a cold front was arriving, bringing...]]></description><link>https://www.peaceableman.com/post/peaceable-man-files-60-the-simple-bare-necessities</link><guid isPermaLink="false">695948627098baf60223f79c</guid><category><![CDATA[Peaceable Man Files]]></category><category><![CDATA[Simple Joys]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 03 Jan 2026 16:54:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9a1c22_5fa5fb2666034cd080254cecd616fe26~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jamesbriankerr</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I Want for Christmas is an Index Card]]></title><description><![CDATA[It’s Christmas Eve, and the presents are wrapped and piled up beneath the tree.

My credit card is full, too, of charges from weeks of spending on gifts. I always overspend my budget at Christmastime, and this year is no exception.
