Snow Day, January 2004

I woke up this morning with the alarm. Then I looked outside, and became alarmed.

“Well then,” I said to myself, “What do the weather people have to say?”

Several minutes of websurfing later:

“What? To travel is to put one’s life at risk? Hmm.”

I was still considering it when I looked outside just in time to see a huge gust of wind sweeping the fine, frozen powdery snow off the rooftops and swirling it about. “Ah,” I then said, not caring who might be listening, “I don’t think I want to spend upwards of an hour commuting in that, waiting for buses and then hiking the rest of the way to work.”

Instead, I stayed home to drink cocoa and take more pictures…

    Well, at least a few of us got to stay home – I had to chain up the car and go in after all. This sets a really bad precedent in my book – now my boss knows I can get about in three inches of snow ;(

    Quite wise of you, dear GD. Lil has decided that it’s too dangerous for any of us to venture outside the house… Though Anxiety is getting ready to brave the cold in order to get some donated clothing… Brrr! Nutzy kid.

    I guess I’m ‘hungry’. I had a job interview and couldn’t really bring myself to call and reschedule. Nice pix by the way!
