It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's it. I think Saturday is time and a half, but Sunday is double time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sympathies to Rio on car repair bill.

Sympathies to all north of DC on snow, cold, and wind. We're on the edge of things -- you could get around if you wanted to, but you probably (and I certainly) don't want to.

No wonder my street is getting plowed every hour.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Although snow at night isn't much better. Once when I was in grad school, I rode shotgun on a town plow one night (my ex was the dispatcher at the public works dept.). My job was basically to make sure the driver (a guy my ex later told me was nicknamed "Mumbles") didn';t fall asleep. I got paid quite a bit for that.

Har! I couldn't believe how early they plowed my parents' street over Christmas. My mother said that's one good thing from Curtatone.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Sue, we're going to get ~38 INCHES

Wow. I mean, I like me some big snowfalls, but I don't think I've ever been in one that got much past two feet.

What is even happening?

It's easily already two feet, here. Dh can't get the snowblower started (and knew this, couldn't the last two snows, either, and I gently reminded but didn't nag, and hence, he didn't get it serviced). I am watching him walk in it. Even in areas where there doesn't seem to be drifts (and there are some drifts) it's above his knees, and he's six feet tall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From a me-me-me PoV, I don't like snow during the work day. You can't really decide not to travel, and you end up with more snow packing and less snow clearing.

Which is one big reason I left.
