We got around 10 inches of snow yesterday and last night - on top of whatever little bit we already had. It seems to have pretty much brought everything to a halt. They shut down the pizza place at 2 pm yesterday and it looked like everybody and their brother were canceling schools, work, and anything else going on - for today too.After the snowplow finally made a single path down our road about 7:30 this morning, and Doug opened up our driveway, I took Jane into Ossian to make pizza dough. It really wasn't bad at all as long as you didn't meet another vehicle. And once I got to the main road it was okay. So... why the heck are there still no cars out here. I bet I haven't seen 10 cars go by today. Did the world end and somebody forgot to tell me? I actually haven't seen a snowplow go by here since 7:30. Two lanes would be really nice someday. Just glad the wind isn't blowing.
Bogie had a hard time using his restroom out the back door this morning. I finally unblocked the back door and shoveled him a little pathway. But no... he had to wade into the middle of the back yard to poop. Then he couldn't figure out how to get back, so he just sat down. It was kind of sad. Somtimes I wonder about that little dog...I dunno... I think we over-react sometimes. It's like a beautiful day outside. That is - if you're sitting inside looking out the window.
Hello out there...

Oh, HEY Dan, I forgot you were back from your trip. Anyway, I guess I can take this string off my finger now... The WORLD has ended, and...well... pbbbbbbbb... mmmmthat's it, really. Sorry I'm late with the news.
And, of course the end of the world didn't phase our CEO at all, we're here at work. I'm quietly boycotting, though. I just had another piece of vending machine pizza and a Coke. I don't think I've sold a chainsaw all day.
And WOW! I'll bet God can hear you REAL well with that antennae on the roof. They could use that in the NASA SETI program. ...with maybe a little aluminum foil wrapped around the top.
...some Arby's wrappers will do in a pinch, so maybe after the next 5 for $5 special you could boost your range.
Okay, I'll stop commenting now. I'm just bored at work, and working is out of the question!
Yeah, I always thought it was more of a detriment than anything to make people come to work on days like this. Especially when most other people didn't have to.
Regarding the antennae... when they came to hook up our Dish the guy started taking it down and I said, "No way!" Someday when the floods come I might need a place to tie my boat or something. Plus it allows me to get my network stations without paying the extra to have them on Dish.
Okay... some of us have to work now.
MR,
You should have never boasted to your boss about having that new snowthrower. See where it gets you. :) You might as well live next door to your office...
10 inches?
Goodness. Our little spot on the world would come to a screeching halt.
Bring on the snow...to Texas!
Welcome Cowtown Pattie!
I recognize you from WP's place. And I would be more than happy to give ya some snow if I could.
peace.
