Fluff

So we got 30" of snow over the past few days. Awesome!

Mostly.

My favorite part is getting halfway done shoveling the driveway, feeling pretty good about it, then finding that the bottom third is loaded with a thick, hidden layer of plow spray. Hard & heavy as rocks. Oh, and I also like the part where I try to toss an igloo-block size chunk over to the side only to have the wind blow half of it back in my face--and then waste a few seconds running through the Chris Farley "Stupid! ... Stupid!" routine while the sound of falling trees echo in the distance.

The drive to work is a cinch. As long as a train doesn't derail while I'm waiting at the crossing, everything else is cake.

Except for the part where teeny little tree branches have fallen all over the parking lot and walkway at work. I never spent much time looking up to see how many 500 pound branches I walk under every day. Makes ya light on your feet.

And here you see the large, corniced pine looming outside the office window.

I moved the garbage can out of the way so Rob and I could both make a simultaneous leap for the door if any ominous cracking noises rang out.

I like it.
