The ice hung around for about five days or so, but the cars were garaged, so no chipping required. Well, the blue bullet wasn't garaged, but it doesn't get much use. Hey, anyone need a 1992 Ford Tempo with 215,000 miles and a failing (but still working) water pump?

How can I live up to the pressure of today's horoscope:

This is potentially one of the best weeks of the year for you and if you waste it you will regret it throughout 2005.

I can't stand it!!!

I wish chipping on no one. Hate it, I do.

Grilled cheese is my current default dinner.

Our wings are not tired.

Sue, that is just plain mean. Um, have a good day.

Pretty ice pics.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Gorgeous ice pictures, Gud. This is what we usually get instead of snow, with accompanying loss of power, and damage to trees. Our neighbors have one of the blueish yard lights in their back yard, and the street lights out front are pink-orange. So we get blue-lit ice shows in the back and pink ones out front.

I'm glad you weren't without power for too long. And that your house didn't get too cold.

I had oatmeal yesterday but it was not steel cut. It was still warm and satisfying, though. Today it is dreary out, but I am happy because I have the day off due to mud. Probably the whole week.

Gud, that third picture would make an awesome post card. Just the right color and amount of shadow. Or, a pretty print for a prezzie. We haven't had any nasty ice here yet. It could still happen, but I definitely hope not.

Man, the news can't get over the pantsless rescue. I've seen it 4 or 5 times now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I just ate oatmeal (not steel-cut; just regular, with applesauce and protein powder). Yum.

It was a pretty ice storm, but it was awfully hard on the trees.
