Oh, and for the record, it was more than a foot deep out by the cars, even in the shallow spots. The drifts were more. But of course, that translates differently in weatherese.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My boom story is...a little over a week ago, I heard a loud boom while I was sittign on my couch, and come to find out later it was someone holding up the 7-11 below me with a shotgun, and shooting the clerk.
Yikes!
one day when I was a teen, my mother and I were washing dishes and ball lightning appeared in the kitchen right over our heads. It made little crackle-boom sound, dashed a few feet leaving a lightning trail, and disappeared.
Wow. Just...wow. I've seen St. Elmo's fire, but never ball lightning. I'm envious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, if my assignment says "no more than 500 words," my 286 words will be OK, right?

The rest of the description of what he wants looks to me like it should be about three sentences, so I feel pretty good I've said as much as I have.

I turned on the tv when I got home -- it was the end of a Chocolate Challenge. The winner was from Chicago - - I think that we should find the place where he works. . . .now I've got the last hour of that PBS chef contest on.
Also, I went to the library to pick up one book and came back with many.
MANY.

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

My balcony at 7 this morning. It faces pretty much due east. The places across from me didn't have nearly the piles.
